Significant Contract Modifications ($10M+) — July 15, 2026

The delivery order provides a 10-year revenue stream through 2032, with annual revenue estimated at $8.3M (base) to $34.6M (if all options exercised). The SDVOSB status may enhance competitive positioning for future civilian IT contracts.

The contract is firm-fixed-price, meaning EPSILON INC bears cost risk if labor or material costs rise. Execution missteps could compress margins on the $83.4M base obligation.

The $346.5M total potential value requires USDA to exercise options over 10 years. Federal budget uncertainty, especially under continuing resolutions, could delay or reduce option awards.

EPSILON INC's Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business designation may offer preferential treatment in set-aside procurements, potentially expanding its civilian IT footprint beyond this single award.

The 10-year USDA DISC IT support contract underscores stable, recurring demand for IT services in civilian agencies, even amid budget uncertainty. This contrasts with defense IT contracts that face more direct NDAA and CR risk.
