Contract Deobligations Alert — September 19, 2026

Contract Deobligations Alert

By Gunpowder Editorial ·

4 total filings analysed

Executive Summary

The four contracts analyzed total $530.7 million in obligations, with only one defense-related award (Motorola Solutions to the Bureau of Prisons) and three civilian contracts (Deloitte to TSA and GSA, CPA Global to USPTO).

The dominant theme is civilian agency spending on professional and operational support services, with Deloitte Consulting LLP receiving two awards totaling $254.2 million, including a high-conviction $106.4 million cost-plus award fee contract for GSA supporting the Indo-Pacific Command. The highest-conviction signal is the Motorola Solutions $139.6 million delivery order for a Bureau of Prisons enterprise radio system, reflecting competitive strength in wireless communications. Key risks include the expiration of the CPA Global contract (ending February 2025) and the absence of outlays on the Motorola order, which could delay revenue recognition.

    ▲

Risk Flags (3)

  • Execution [MEDIUM RISK]
    ▼

    Motorola Solutions' $139.6 million firm-fixed-price delivery order carries medium pricing risk as cost overruns are borne by the contractor, and no outlays have been recorded, potentially delaying revenue recognition.

  • Concentration [MEDIUM RISK]
    ▼

    Deloitte Consulting LLP received two of the four contracts totaling $254.2 million (48% of total obligation), creating concentration risk if Deloitte faces performance issues or budget cuts at TSA or GSA.

  • Budget [HIGH RISK]
    ▼

    CPA Global's $137 million USPTO contract expires in February 2025 with no outlays recorded, posing a risk of lost recurring revenue if the contract is not extended or re-competed.

Opportunities (3)

  • ◆

    Motorola Solutions' $139.6 million Bureau of Prisons radio system order under the DHS TACCOM II MAC could lead to additional task orders from other Department of Justice or DHS components, expanding revenue in wireless communications.

  • ◆

    Deloitte Consulting's $106.4 million GSA contract supporting the Indo-Pacific Command, a high-priority geographic command, positions Deloitte for follow-on work and option exercises through 2030, with low pricing risk due to cost-plus award fee structure.

  • ◆

    The $147.7 million TSA HR contract awarded to Deloitte (now completed) suggests stable demand for personnel and payroll support services at DHS, creating opportunities for recompetes or new contracts in the same NAICS code (541612).

Sector Themes (2)

  • ◆

    Three of four contracts ($391.2 million total) are civilian agency awards for professional and operational support services, including Deloitte's TSA HR contract and GSA Indo-Pacific Command support, and CPA Global's USPTO contract, indicating sustained demand for consulting and support services outside defense.

  • ◆

    Motorola Solutions' $139.6 million Bureau of Prisons radio system order highlights government investment in enterprise wireless communications, particularly for public safety and corrections, under full and open competition.
