Significant Contract Modifications ($10M+) — April 26, 2026

Significant Contract Modifications ($10M+)

By Gunpowder Editorial ·

4 total filings analysed

Executive Summary

This week's $1,907,292,467 in significant contract modifications (4 total) are entirely civilian-agency focused (0/4 defense-related), with DHS dominating via a massive $1.585B award to Barnard Construction Company, Incorporated. Bullish signals center on Barnard's high-materiality DHS win (8/10) and CGI Federal Inc.'s $147M GSA IT delivery order (base + options $289M), signaling robust demand for construction and federal IT services.

GSA also issued smaller neutral awards to Potomac Electric Power Co ($168M HHS grant) and Lockheed Martin Corporation ($6.7M F16 simulators). Highest-conviction bullish signal is Barnard's $1.59B scale amid unknown revenue impact; key watch item is zero outlays to date on CGI and Lockheed GSA contracts, risking delayed revenue recognition.
