The Federal government fiscal year runs from October 1 through September 30 of the next year. Most states do not follow the Federal fiscal year. In fact, only Alabama and Michigan have the same fiscal year schedule as the Federal Government. Along with different fiscal year schedules, several states have enacted a biennial budget. Knowing your state’s fiscal year is key to planning and pursuing state contract opportunities.

Here is the breakdown of the fiscal year by state and when it ends:

BC2Match scours state data sources and matches you with real-time results based on your criteria.

Our Keyword Search tool helps us match you with state (and local) contract opportunities and saves you time from sifting through unqualified opportunities. All results are displayed in your State and Local dashboard
