Federal Professional Services Contracts

By Gunpowder Editorial ·

10 total filings analysed

Executive Summary

These 10 federal professional services contracts total $169,034,383 in obligations, entirely civilian with 0/10 defense-related, spanning DHS ($86,621,334 or 51%), State, HHS, EPA, and DOJ. DHS dominates via engineering and IT support awards to Booz Allen Hamilton ($21.6M FEMA), Sev1tech ($19.3M CISA), Motorola Solutions ($15.6M ICE), Chevo LLC ($15.2M CISA), and Guidehouse ($14.9M FEMA).

Highest-conviction neutral signal is steady multi-year revenue visibility for public firms like Booz Allen Hamilton (combined $33.3M) and Motorola Solutions amid low average signal strength (3.8/10). Key risk is minimal outlays on high-materiality awards (e.g., Precision Air $27.4M at $0 outlayed, Sev1tech $19.3M at $0), exposing early-stage execution vulnerabilities. Watch subaward flows reducing direct retention (e.g., $15.9M on Precision Air, $12.5M on Booz Allen DHS).

Investment Signals (4)

  • Booz Allen Hamilton Secures $33.3M Across DHS and DOJ Awards (MEDIUM)

    Booz Allen Hamilton holds two awards totaling $33.3M ($21.6M DHS FEMA exercise support to 2026/2027, $11.6M DOJ human trafficking to 2024), with $23.3M outlayed indicating 70% execution and multi-year engineering/management revenue. Supports BAH's civilian professional services backlog amid neutral sector trends.

  • Sev1tech $19.3M CISA Award at $0 Outlayed with $7.6M Subawards (HIGH)

    Sev1tech's highest-materiality DHS CISA engineering ops support ($19.3M obligated, ceiling $51.2M) shows no outlays since Sep 2025 start, with 39% ($7.6M) already subawarded across 15 recipients, signaling retention dilution in 1-year performance to Sep 2026.

  • Motorola Solutions $15.6M ICE Cybersecurity Engineering Locked In (MEDIUM)

    Motorola Solutions' firm-fixed-price delivery order ($15.6M obligated, ceiling $22M) for ASTRO 25 security updates and cybersecurity support runs to 2026/2028 with $11.1M (71%) outlayed, providing MSI steady DHS IT revenue through current end May 2026.

  • Precision Air $27.4M State Helo Modification 58% Subawarded, $0 Outlayed (HIGH)

    Top materiality award to Precision Air ($27.4M firm-fixed-price for 6 MD500 helos, ceiling $29.5M) has $15.9M (58%) subawarded across 8 recipients and $0 outlayed since Sep 2023 start, heightening pricing risk through Sep 2026.

Risk Flags (3)

  • Execution [HIGH RISK]

    Low outlays on new/high-value awards like Sev1tech $19.3M CISA (0 outlayed), Precision Air $27.4M State (0 outlayed), and S C & A $12.6M EPA ($0.4M outlayed) signal potential delays in civilian engineering services funding.

  • Budget [MEDIUM RISK]

    High subaward penetration reduces direct revenue: Precision Air 58% ($15.9M), Booz Allen DHS 58% ($12.5M), Sev1tech 39% ($7.6M), amid time/materials pricing on DHS awards (e.g., Chevo $15.2M, Guidehouse $14.9M).

  • Competition [MEDIUM RISK]

    Full and open competition on all awards (no set-asides except Chevo small business) exposes re-competes for maturing contracts like Eastern Research Group $12.7M EPA (ends 2023, low $3M outlayed).

Opportunities (3)

  • DHS CISA/FEMA engineering ops awards to Sev1tech ($51.2M ceiling), Chevo ($19.3M), Guidehouse ($15.4M) offer option-driven upside in IT/security support through 2026-2027.

  • Booz Allen Hamilton's $33.3M DHS/DOJ pipeline with partial options unexercised (DHS to $33.6M, DOJ to $13.1M) and 70% outlayed supports backlog growth in professional services.

  • EPA environmental consulting ceilings: Eastern Research Group $55.3M (low $3M outlayed), S C & A $23.2M for emissions/lead support through 2027/2028.

Sector Themes (2)

  • DHS awards 51% of total ($86.6M) focused on engineering services (NAICS 541330) for CISA ops (Sev1tech $19.3M, Chevo $15.2M), FEMA exercises (Booz Allen $21.6M), ICE cyber (Motorola $15.6M), and FEMA PMO (Guidehouse $14.9M), with multi-year periods to 2026-2028.

  • EPA's $25.3M in obligations for emissions reduction (Eastern Research Group $12.7M, ceiling $55.3M to 2023) and drinking water lead support (S C & A $12.6M, ceiling $23.2M to 2028) under NAICS 541620, with low outlays signaling upside potential.
