I'm pretty certain the federal government and the pentagon's fiscal year ends on 9/30/26.

I base this on the memory of never really seeing my wife during the month of September. My wife headed up a contracting office for the DOD as a civilian employee and all pending contracts had to be awarded by the last day of the month.
