Contract Deobligations Alert — February 01, 2026

Full obligations across diverse agencies provide multi-year revenue visibility, with $652M (37%) already outlayed signaling execution momentum.

$1.11B (72% of total) in NAICS 54151x awards for border, VA, and passport IT underscores demand for critical digital infrastructure.

Thoma-Sea's $307M NOAA vessel contract (to 2031) with $319M options offers rare 8.5-year small business visibility.

Heavy subawards ($1.0B+ across contracts, e.g., Lockheed's $750M/82 subs) create prime contractor dependency risks.

Cost-exposed structures (cost-plus, T&M, FFP) on $1.4B+ value risk overruns/margin pressure amid 2026 end dates.

Sole-source/non-competed awards (Lockheed, CGI) totaling $667M vulnerable to future scrutiny or rebids.

$1B+ unexercised options (e.g., CACI $78M, Thoma-Sea $319M) for IT/vessel expansion.

Follow-on potential post-2026 for Hubble ops, VA DevSecOps, passports amid mission continuity.

72% of value in NAICS 54151x for border, passports, VA signals sustained digital modernization spend.

Contracts span Hubble (2011-2026), vessels (to 2031) highlight sticky revenue in space/maritime.
