Contract Deobligations Alert — October 04, 2026

Leidos won a $694.2M cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order from GSA for high-resolution 3D geospatial engineering services, with total potential value up to $788M including options. This signals strong government demand for Leidos' geospatial capabilities, though the contract ended in November 2021 and has a negative outlay, limiting current revenue impact.

PAE Aviation and Technical Services LLC, a subsidiary of Amentum Services Inc., secured a $570.8M cost-plus incentive fee contract from DHS/CBP for aircraft maintenance, with potential value of $612.6M including options. This competitive win indicates a strong market position, but only $2.1M has been outlayed, suggesting limited current revenue recognition.

TOTE Services received a $497M firm-fixed-price delivery order from DOT/Maritime Administration for a 'MRIV BUILD SLOT RESERVATION,' but the contract is a single, short-term award (June to December 2026) with no options, indicating a one-time revenue event rather than a recurring stream. This limits visibility into future government business for TOTE Services.

Leidos' GSA contract has a negative outlayed amount (-$163K), suggesting possible contract termination or underfunding, which could indicate underperformance or cancellation risk.

PAE Aviation's DHS/CBP contract has only $2.1M outlayed out of $570.8M obligated, suggesting limited revenue recognition and potential execution pace issues.

All three contracts are civilian (GSA, DHS, DOT), with no defense-related awards, indicating a potential lack of exposure to defense budget growth for the involved contractors.

Leidos' large GSA geospatial contract indicates strong demand for geospatial intelligence services, which could lead to future awards in this space.

PAE Aviation's DHS/CBP contract aligns with border security priorities, which historically receive stable funding, suggesting potential for follow-on work.

TOTE Services' DOT award indicates federal investment in maritime infrastructure, potentially opening doors for additional maritime contracts.

The $694.2M GSA award to Leidos for high-resolution 3D geospatial engineering services highlights growing federal demand for geospatial analytics, despite the contract's expired performance period.

The $570.8M DHS/CBP contract to PAE Aviation for aircraft maintenance underscores stable funding for border security operations, a priority that historically receives consistent appropriations.

The $497M DOT/Maritime Administration award to TOTE Services for shipbuilding indicates ongoing federal investment in maritime infrastructure, though the single contract is too small to signal a broader trend.
