Mega Contracts Monitor ($100M+) — January 19, 2026

High outlay ($81M of $114M) on 5-year T&M delivery order signals low execution risk and multi-year revenue through May 2026.

Only $1.7M outlayed on $103M obligation with performance potentially ending 2020 signals funding delays or completion risks.

Low outlays (1.6%) and exceeded performance dates on ETS $103M deal indicate potential cuts or delays.

$26M subawards across 10 vendors on ManTech deal plus T&M audits expose dependency and cost scrutiny risks.

$7.3M unobligated options on ManTech USCIS IT deal plus ongoing NAICS 541512 demand.

$11M ETS subawards across 58 vendors and adaptive testing focus align with NAEP evolution.

ManTech's $114M DHS award with high execution contrasts stalled ed R&D, favoring T&M IT over cost-plus models.

ETS neutral nonprofit award limits equity upside while ManTech boosts parent revenue.
