New Federal Contractors

6 total filings analysed

Executive Summary

These six new federal contracts total $1,188,107,721 in obligations, entirely civilian with 0/6 defense-related, highlighting sustained non-DOD spending across State, DHS, NSF, and HHS agencies. Dominant themes include embassy construction (State), border security sustainment (DHS), IT services (NSF), and health preparedness R&D/waste management (HHS), with average signal strength of 5.7/10.

Highest-conviction bullish signals stem from Caddell Construction's $328.5M State embassy build and Booz Allen Hamilton's $254.5M NSF IT delivery order, both via full/open competition signaling competitive strength. Key risk is high fixed-price execution exposure on Caddell ($328.5M), Inmar RX ($100.3M), and Rapiscan ($81.4M) contracts, alongside variable outlay progress (e.g., $0 on Caddell). Watch multi-year option exercises and outlay ramps through 2027-2029 for revenue visibility.
