Do you trust that government transitions to new digital systems effectively increase transparency for the public?

The Department of Homeland Security will stop accepting new procurement forecasts in its current system on October 30, 2026. This transition marks the move to a new platform called 4SITE.

Why it matters

The change updates how government contractors access and track upcoming procurement opportunities with the agency. Moving to the 4SITE system aims to centralize forecasting data for stakeholders.

The transition replaces the legacy Acquisition Planning Forecast System with 4SITE. Existing subscription service parameters are slated to transfer to the new system.

The players

Department of Homeland Security

This is a cabinet-level executive department of the U.S. federal government tasked with public security and emergency management.

Coast Guard

This is a branch of the United States Armed Forces and a federal law enforcement agency that operates under the Department of Homeland Security.

Professional Services Council

This is a national trade association that represents the government professional and technical services industry.

The details

Users will be able to access procurement opportunities and download forecast lists through a new landing page starting November 5, 2026. Automatic subscription notifications will begin functioning within the new system effective December 9, 2026.

Timeline

  1. The Professional Services Council hosted a transition webinar in July 2026.

  2. The Coast Guard issued a bulletin regarding the 4SITE replacement in August 2026.

  3. The Department of Homeland Security stops entering new forecasts into the legacy system on October 30, 2026.

  4. A new landing page for forecast data launches on November 5, 2026.

  5. Automatic subscription notifications begin on December 9, 2026.

Seasonal Patterns

The transition to the 4SITE platform follows the transparency requirements set forth by the Federal Acquisition Regulation. This update aligns with broader federal initiatives to modernize government procurement interfaces.

Contractors should prepare to download their existing forecast lists from the current portal before the transition concludes. Ensure that account subscription parameters are monitored for automatic migration on December 9, 2026.

The takeaway

This migration reflects an ongoing shift toward centralized digital infrastructure for government contracting. Stakeholders should prioritize updating their access credentials to ensure continuity in tracking procurement opportunities.

What happens next

Users can access the new landing page for procurement data starting November 5, 2026, and will see their subscription services transition on December 9, 2026.
