High-Value Federal Grants ($5M+)

5 total filings analysed

Executive Summary

These five high-value civilian federal contracts total $940,833,149 in obligations with 0/5 defense-related, highlighting sustained non-DOD spending led by DHS (Coast Guard/FEMA) and HHS agencies in construction, IT services, and disaster recovery. Dominant themes include DHS infrastructure builds and emergency response alongside HHS/CMS IT support, with the highest-conviction bullish signal being Whiting-Turner Contracting Company's $400M Coast Guard barracks construction award under full competition. Frequentis USA's $110M FAA VCS modernization and Jacobs Engineering's (via CH2M HILL) $94M FEMA fire claims support add revenue visibility through 2027. Key risk is zero outlays on the two largest contracts (Whiting-Turner $400M and Lockheed Martin $225M), signaling execution uncertainty despite firm fixed-price structures.
