High-Value Federal Grants ($5M+) — June 18, 2026

The $230M firm-fixed-price delivery order for a design-build shore construction project at Base Charleston transfers all cost overrun risk to the contractor over a 4.3-year performance period (2026-2030).

The $120.3M firm-fixed-price delivery order from HHS/BARDA for health R&D services (NAICS 541714) provides a stable, multi-year revenue stream ($24M/yr) but carries fixed-price execution risk on a non-defense R&D portfolio.

The $116.2M delivery order (base-plus-options to $247M) from the VA for IT and telecom support services (NAICS 541519) is a time-and-materials contract, introducing cost risk but reflecting stable VA IT modernization spending.

Brasfield & Gorrie LLC's $230M firm-fixed-price contract for Coast Guard shore construction carries high cost overrun risk due to the fixed-price structure and long 4.3-year performance period, which could compress margins if material or labor costs escalate.

Advanced Technology International's $120.3M fixed-price health R&D contract (BARDA) carries medium execution risk as a nonprofit managing applied research costs; $39.86M already outlayed indicates partial de-risking but full performance remains.

H2 Technology Group, LLC's $116.2M time-and-materials contract with the VA introduces cost risk if labor or material costs exceed estimates, though the structure allows scope flexibility. The SDVOSB set-aside limits competitive field but aligns with policy.

Brasfield & Gorrie LLC's $230M Coast Guard award signals sustained DHS infrastructure investment at Base Charleston, with potential for follow-on shore construction contracts as the 4.3-year period progresses.

None of the three contracts are defense-related, indicating no immediate defense expansion signal from these awards. Civilian agencies (DHS, HHS, VA) are the sole source of spending.

All three contracts are from civilian agencies (DHS/Coast Guard, HHS/BARDA, VA), with a combined $466.4M in awards. The largest ($230M) is for physical infrastructure at a Coast Guard base, while the other two ($236.4M combined) are for health R&D and IT support, respectively.
