Contract Deobligations Alert

By Gunpowder Editorial ·

6 total filings analysed

Executive Summary

This Contract Deobligations Alert covers six civilian agency contracts totaling $941,279,215 in obligations, with 0/6 defense-related, highlighting infrastructure, IT services, and modernization themes across DHS (Coast Guard/FEMA), HHS, DOT (FAA), and Commerce (NOAA).

Dominant agencies are DHS ($494.7M or 53%) and HHS ($335.5M or 36%), with bullish signals on Whiting-Turner Contracting Company's $400M Coast Guard construction (highest materiality at 8/10) and Frequentis USA's $110.6M FAA VCS modernization providing the strongest revenue visibility. CH2M HILL (Jacobs) $94.7M FEMA disaster recovery shows 93% outlay progress ($88.1M disbursed), confirming near-term cash flow. Key risk is execution uncertainty from $0 outlays on three major contracts (Whiting-Turner $400M, Lockheed Martin Services $225M, Lockheed Martin $446k), signaling potential deobligation or delays in firm fixed-price structures.

Risk Flags (2)
