Mega Contracts Monitor ($100M+) — August 26, 2026

Leidos won a $127 million base (potential $297.6 million) cost-plus-fixed-fee contract for the FAA's Enterprise Information Display System through 2034, indicating stable, recurring revenue and competitive strength in federal IT infrastructure.

Harvard Pilgrim’s firm-fixed-price award for the Sentinel Initiative Operations Center, with $83 million already outlayed, suggests strong execution and likely renewal potential, reinforcing its competitive position in health data analytics.

The contract ends October 2022 with no exercised options, and only $64.2 million outlayed of $106.9 million, indicating potential revenue cliff and uncertain follow-on for MTC.

The largest contract in the digest ($158 million) from the Department of Labor for technical and trade schools lacks pricing and competition details, limiting actionable insight but signaling continued federal workforce training investment.

All four contracts are civilian (0 defense-related), exposing the digest to non-defense budget risks, particularly DOL and HHS appropriations uncertainty.

Management & Training Corporation’s $106.9M DOL Job Corps contract expires October 2022 with no options exercised, posing execution risk if follow-on work is not secured.

Leidos’ $127M FAA contract faces re-compete risk as the base period ends in 2026, with potential competition for the E-IDS follow-on.

Harvard Pilgrim’s $110.7M FDA contract ends December 2024; renewal depends on FDA budget priorities for the Sentinel Initiative, which could face cuts.

Leidos’ FAA contract win positions it for follow-on E-IDS task orders and related air traffic IT modernization contracts, with total potential value of $297.6 million through 2034.

Harvard Pilgrim’s strong performance on the Sentinel Initiative could lead to expanded scope or renewal of the $110.7M contract, given $83 million already outlayed.

Adams and Associates Inc.’s $158M DOL contract for technical schools may indicate a broader federal push for workforce training, creating opportunities for similar providers.

Leidos’ $127M FAA contract and Harvard Pilgrim’s $110.7M FDA contract both involve IT infrastructure and data analytics (NAICS 518210), indicating sustained civilian investment in enterprise IT modernization.

Two DOL contracts totaling $264.9 million (Adams and Associates $158M, MTC $106.9M) for technical schools and Job Corps operations highlight federal workforce training investment, but MTC’s expiring contract without extensions signals potential budget tightening.
