Executive Summary
New federal contracts totaling $5.25B signal robust demand for IT services, healthcare administration, and space R&D, with 21 bullish awards dominated by Accenture ($791M CMS IT), Oracle ($423M VA IT), and Peraton ($276M NOAA telecom). NASA funding (~$1.2B) concentrates in nonprofit Caltech (6 awards, neutral), limiting equity upside. Multi-year visibility to 2028+ via options/extensions offers revenue stability for IT/defense firms amid high subawarding (avg ~25% of value).
