Executive Summary

Seven HHS contracts totaling $145,736,463 in obligations were reviewed, with zero defense-related awards, so the entire digest is civilian-agency exposure concentrated in CMS, HRSA, NIH and OMAS. The largest award is Peraton Inc.'s $58,992,766 CMS firm-fixed-price order (against a $100,701,677 ceiling), which is the most material item but carries roughly $47,173,091 in subawards that reduce the prime's retained economics.

The dominant theme is sustained HHS/CMS IT and program-support spending (Medicare enrollment systems, Medicare Part B drug technical support, Medicaid/CHIP DevSecOps, HRSA reporting systems), though the data does not establish multi-year budget trends. The highest-conviction signal is the active execution of Index Analytics LLC's $13,603,128 CMS delivery order with roughly 76% ($10,378,814) already outlayed, supporting continued workflow. The key watch item is the CORBALT, LLC MACFC recompete ahead of its 2025-08-28 end date and the unexercised option value on the Peraton and Digital Management awards; most recipients have no identified public parent, which limits direct equity exposure, and all seven signals are rated neutral.

Investment Signals (8)

  • Peraton Inc. $58.99M CMS Order Ceiling Lifts to $100.7M (MEDIUM)
    ▲

    Peraton's firm-fixed-price CMS order has $58,992,766 obligated against a $100,701,677 base-plus-options ceiling, with only $34,824,263 outlayed to date. Option exercise would be the main realized-revenue catalyst, though the parent (Veritas Capital) ownership is not publicly traded per the data.

  • Peraton Subaward Pass-Through Limits Prime Economics (MEDIUM)
    ▲

    Subawards totaling $47,173,091 across 4 subawards represent roughly 80% of Peraton's $58,992,766 obligation, reducing the prime's retained margin on this work.

  • Index Analytics LLC Active Execution on $13.6M CMS Part B Work (MEDIUM)
    ▲

    Index Analytics' CMS Part B drug technical support delivery order is 76% outlayed ($10,378,814 of $13,603,128), indicating active execution and continued federal demand for this function through a current end date of 2027-04-04.

  • CORBALT, LLC MACFC Recompete Outcome Pending (MEDIUM)
    ▲

    CORBALT's $10,236,868 CMS delivery order to recompete the Medicaid/CHIP DevSecOps work reaches its stated end date of 2025-08-28 with no remaining option value, so continuity depends on the recompete outcome.

  • Digital Management LLC HRSA BPA Option Value of ~$1.2M (LOW)
    ▲

    Digital Management's HRSA BPA call obligates $9,261,825 against a $10,459,905 ceiling, implying roughly $1.2M of unexercised option value over the 2026-09-24 to 2027-09-23 period.

  • Research Triangle Institute ACO Award Has No Outlays Yet (LOW)
    ▲

    RTI's $21,628,322 Time-and-Materials CMS ACO analysis order reports $0 outlayed against its 2026-09-01 start, so realized execution is unverified and the entity is a nonprofit without a public parent.

  • DPR Construction NIH Award Shows $0 Outlays Past Stated End (LOW)
    ▲

    DPR Construction's $22,341,175 NIH firm-fixed-price construction order lists a 2020-09-01 end date but reports $0 outlayed, so completion and final payments cannot be verified from the data.

  • AFFIGENT / NANA Regional Corporation $9.67M OMAS IT Award (LOW)
    ▲

    AFFIGENT's firm-fixed-price HHS OMAS order for SaaS platform support carries $9,672,378 across a 12-month period from 2026-09-26, with no set-aside and no unexercised option value indicated.

Risk Flags (4)

  • Concentration [MEDIUM RISK]
    ▼

    Peraton's $58,992,766 CMS order is the single largest award (about 40% of the $145.7M aggregate), and its subaward pass-through means the prime retains a small share of that value.

  • Execution [MEDIUM RISK]
    ▼

    Several awards show $0 outlays (DPR Construction past its 2020 end date, RTI, Digital Management, AFFIGENT), leaving realized performance unverified.

  • Competition [HIGH RISK]
    ▼

    CORBALT's MACFC recompete faces a fixed 2025-08-28 end date, and the outcome determines continuity of Medicaid/CHIP DevSecOps services.

  • Regulatory [LOW RISK]
    ▼

    Most recipients lack a disclosed public parent or listed equity, so the contract signals cannot be mapped to tradable securities with confidence.

Opportunities (3)

  • ◆

    Peraton's CMS Medicare enrollment infrastructure order could expand if options are exercised toward the $100,701,677 ceiling, given its stated sustainment and CI/CD focus.

  • ◆

    Index Analytics' 8(a) and small-disadvantaged-business status on the CMS Part B drug support order positions it for follow-on work under small business set-asides.

  • ◆

    Digital Management's HRSA BPA call has roughly $1.2M of unexercised option value, providing incremental upside on the recurring Electronic Handbooks and performance-reporting scope.

Sector Themes (2)

  • ◆

    Across the seven awards, CMS dominates with Peraton, Index Analytics, CORBALT, RTI and AFFIGENT/HHS OMAS tied to Medicare, Medicaid/CHIP and program administration, indicating sustained civilian IT demand. The data does not show multi-year budget direction, so this is continuity rather than confirmed growth.

  • ◆

    Index Analytics (8(a) and self-certified small disadvantaged) and CORBALT (total small business set-aside) show policy-driven small business participation in HHS IT work, while Peraton, DPR and Digital Management were full-and-open with no set-aside.
