High-Value Federal Grants ($5M+)

5 total filings analysed

Executive Summary

These five high-value civilian federal contracts total $992,695,384 in obligations, with 0/5 defense-related, highlighting robust spending across GSA, Treasury/IRS, DOT/FAA, HHS/NIH, and NASA. Dominant themes include IT systems design, telecommunications transitions, voice communication infrastructure, building construction, and space R&D, all awarded via full and open competition to non-small businesses. Highest-conviction bullish signal is Peraton Enterprise Solutions LLC's $346.8M GSA delivery order for computer systems design, offering low-risk cost-plus structure and up to $563M potential. Verizon Business Network Services LLC's $264.6M IRS telecom order shows strong execution with $209M outlayed. Key risk is execution dependency, as three contracts (Peraton, Rohde & Schwarz USA Inc., Hensel Phelps) have minimal or zero outlays despite large obligations, alongside high firm-fixed-price risks in Rohde ($167.6M FAA), Hensel Phelps ($144M NIH), and Lockheed Martin ($69.7M NASA).
