Significant Contract Modifications ($10M+) — October 22, 2026

Grunley Construction's $29,213,000 Smithsonian award and CDEEM's $22,900,000 VA emergency-generator contract both report $0 outlayed, and CQ JV's $22,928,263 GSA order also shows $0 outlayed. Until disbursements begin, revenue recognition for these private recipients is unverified.

DYNANET's NIH time-and-materials delivery order carries a $21,278,158 obligation against a $64,887,919 base-plus-options ceiling with $4,134,410 already outlayed, indicating a potential multi-year services stream if options are exercised through 2030.

KYC Advisors' small-business set-aside DevSecOps delivery order for USCIS has $6,590,471 outlayed against $22,511,725 obligated, with an $82.9M ceiling extending to 2030, pointing to a durable application-development stream if options are exercised.

Universal Protection Service's DHS/FPS firm-fixed-price order carries $22,644,780 currently obligated against a $401,685,093 base-plus-options value, so option exercise and incremental funding would be the primary value driver; the recipient's public status is not disclosed.

The Aerospace Corporation's DOE/NNSA cost-plus-fixed-fee order of $41,772,736 (ceiling $146,156,020, $26,579,293 outlayed) is the only nuclear-security-related award in the batch, but the recipient is a nonprofit FFRDC with no public equity exposure.

The stream is heavily civilian (12 of 13 awards) with only one defense-related contract, limiting read-through to DOD-exposed public equities; the largest awards go to nonprofits (Caltech, Aerospace Corp) or foreign-parented/private-equity-owned entities (WGL Energy/AltaGas, Guidehouse/Veritas Capital).

WGL Energy Services' NIH delivery order is internally inconsistent: NAICS/PSC codes (natural gas extraction, electric utilities) do not clearly match NIH facility work, creating scope-verification risk on a $44.5M award with 94.6% already outlayed.

Several awards are funded in FY2025-2026 with multi-year potential ends; option exercise is contingent on annual appropriations, and no budget trend data is provided in the source to confirm agency funding direction.

DYNANET Corporation's NIH IT program support order and KYC Advisors' USCIS DevSecOps order both carry ceilings several times their current obligations, offering expansion if options are exercised.

Small-business and socioeconomic set-aside awards (Healthcare Management Solutions $23.1M CMS, CDEEM $22.9M SDVOSB VA, KYC Advisors, DYNANET) show continued federal policy preference for small and disadvantaged firms, though most are private.

The Aerospace Corporation's NNSA order ($146.2M ceiling) and the GSA/CQ JV military PNT cybersecurity order ($33.0M ceiling) indicate defense-adjacent demand, with CQ JV's six subawards totaling $29.4M pointing to subcontracting opportunities for smaller firms.

Of 13 awards totaling $384.7M, the bulk are management consulting, IT services, and construction contracts across HHS, USDA, DHS, VA, and DOT, with only one clear defense/NNSA-related award.

Facilities awards from USDA APHIS ($32.9M, 14% outlayed), Smithsonian ($29.2M, $0 outlayed), and VA generator upgrades ($22.9M, $0 outlayed) indicate limited near-term revenue recognition for private construction firms.

Caltech/JPL's NASA GOMAP ($54.0M), The Aerospace Corporation's NNSA order ($41.8M), and WGL Energy Services' HHS award ($44.5M, parent AltaGas) represent the largest dollar items, but two are nonprofit and one is foreign-owned.
