Executive Summary
$2.6B mega contracts across 6 awards signal strong federal demand for IT/defense services (GSA: $1.3B, 50%) and diplomatic construction (State: $706M, 27%). BL Harbert's repeat wins highlight construction momentum; Leidos gains 15-year aviation tailwind to 2034. ~$1B unexercised options offer 38% upside, but FFP structures and low outlays ($0 on 40% of value) flag execution risks.
