Executive Summary
Two Virginia-based Small Disadvantaged Businesses secured $252M in federal obligations ($126.7M NRC IT BPA to TEKSYNAP; $125.7M DHS/TSA admin support to QED), signaling robust demand in nuclear regulation and homeland security amid SDB set-aside programs. QED shows strong execution with $105.7M outlayed (84% of obligation); combined unexercised options offer $42M upside to $294M ceiling. Long durations to 2026-2027 warrant monitoring budget risks but highlight growth in GovCon SDBs.
