Contract Option Exercises — December 22, 2025

Three contracts ($573M total) in IT/data centers/telecom (Eagle Harbor, Planet, Deloitte) show 44%-87% outlays, locking multi-year revenue through 2026-2029.

Brasfield & Gorrie at 60% outlay ($125M/$210M) on GSA office build underscores non-SB competitiveness in commercial construction.

PAE/Jacobs secures $192M State Dept life support in Iraq (20% outlay), providing low-risk cost-plus revenue to 2026.

Firm fixed-price exposure in 4/5 contracts risks cost overruns on ~$450M remaining outlays amid long tenors to 2029.

Geopolitical tensions in Iraq could disrupt PAE's $154M remaining obligation for Baghdad ops.

Planet's small biz set-aside mismatch with 'non-SB' status may trigger protests on $25M unobligated options.

$450M+ remaining outlays across contracts offer near-term revenue upside, with $240M+ in options (Planet/Deloitte).

State Dept duo ($379M) signals rising demand for IT/advisory and Iraq sustainment.

Extensions possible on 4/5 (to 2027-2029) add $100M+ potential value.

59% of value ($573M) in NAICS 5415 IT services with high outlays signals backlog strength despite firm fixed risks.
