Contract Deobligations Alert

By Gunpowder Editorial ·

6 total filings analysed

Executive Summary

This Contract Deobligations Alert synthesizes $4,176,750,195 in total civilian contract obligations across 6 awards from May 13, 2026, with 0/6 defense-related and average signal strength of 5.5/10, dominated by DHS ($1.72B), HHS ($1.57B across Bavarian Nordic A/S and Albert B. Sabin Vaccine Institute), and VA ($810M). Highest-conviction bullish signals (7/10 strength, 8/10 materiality) highlight durable revenue potential for Southwest Valley Constructors Co ($1.72B DHS), Bavarian Nordic A/S ($1.26B HHS), and Booz Allen Hamilton Inc ($809.8M VA IT services). Neutral signals temper smaller HHS R&D awards to Albert B. Sabin Vaccine Institute ($310M total) and USAID remediation to Nelson Environmental Remediation USA Ltd ($72.6M). Key risk: monitor outlay progress on multi-year contracts like Booz Allen's remaining $492M unoutlayed on VA order and Nelson's high firm-fixed-price execution risk.
