High-Value Federal Grants ($5M+) — May 08, 2026

Palantir's $31,552,195 obligated delivery order (base + options $385,395,088) from VA Technology Acquisition Center for National Center for Veterans Analysis and Statistics Platform signals strong software demand, with 1-year base to 2026-09-29 and potential to 2030-09-29 despite only $4.6M outlayed.

Universal Protection Service LP's $31,420,749 obligated firm fixed price delivery order from DHS for Illinois statewide Protective Security Officer services offers 5-year performance to 2030-11-30 with base + options $198,246,950, though $0 outlayed to date.

General Dynamics Information Technology's $38,325,660 time & materials delivery order from DOI for HHS Indian Health Service PATH EHR system starts May 2026 to Nov 2028, with base + options $325,731,553 signaling future healthcare IT revenue.

Monkton Inc.'s $27,514,636 firm fixed price delivery order from DHS-FEMA for Individual Assistance Modernization IT services (NAICS 541512) spans 4 years to 2029-09-29 with potential $49.4M, awarded via full/open competition.

The sole defense-related award to Guardian Premier Solutions LLC ($48,090,126 firm fixed price from GSA for Lackland AFB training support) has $48.1M already outlayed through 2026-01-30, but high pricing risk and not-competed nature flag completion vulnerabilities.

General Dynamics IT's $37,379,530 firm fixed price delivery order from State Dept (AQM MOMENTUM) for GSS 2.0 consular support has $115.7M potential to 2034-02-28, with $0 outlayed signaling upcoming funding catalyst.

High fixed-price risk prevalent in 23 awards, e.g., Softrams LLC's $39.8M CMS IT (high risk, $35.7M outlayed), MLU Services' $31.9M FEMA logistics (high risk, $16.8M outlayed), and Palantir's $31.6M VA SaaS (high risk).

14 contracts with $0 outlays (e.g., M.C. Dean's $44.8M GSA facilities, Universal Protection's $31.4M DHS PSO, General Dynamics IT's $75.7M combined) indicate funding uncertainty, especially future starts like DOI May 2026.

Set-asides in 10 awards (e.g., Softrams' small business total set-aside CMS IT, Monkton's SDB FEMA IT) signal policy-driven wins not pure competition; sole-source like Ardent Group's $28.4M ICE pharmacy vulnerable to protests.

DHS IT/security awards like Monkton's $27.5M FEMA Individual Assistance Modernization (potential $49.4M to 2029) and Sev1Tech's $19.3M CISA CEEOSS (potential $51.2M) highlight multi-year civilian IT expansion.

Palantir Technologies' $385M VA potential and Valiant Solutions' $98.9M EPA OAQPS IT (with $21.7M outlayed) offer SaaS/IT growth in healthcare/veterans and environmental sectors.

Rare defense signal in Guardian Premier's $48.1M Lackland AFB support (near completion 2026) could prompt follow-ons given not-competed nature.

DHS leads with 10 grants (~$227M), including Universal Protection's $31.4M PSO, Monkton's $27.5M FEMA IT, and Booz Allen's $21.6M exercise support, emphasizing security and modernization.

HHS/CMS and VA awards like Softrams' $39.8M CMS programming (potential $91.6M), Palantir's $31.6M VA SaaS ($385M potential), and General Dynamics IT's $38.3M DOI EHR sustainment signal steady IT demand.

GSA, DOI, State facilities awards like M.C. Dean's $44.8M DC buildings ($87.6M potential), HANA Industries' $25.3M FAA security highlight recurring non-tech services.
