Contract Option Exercises — March 11, 2026

Central Plateau's $1.7B obligation (79% outlayed) locks in multi-year Hanford work through 2024, with $66M options unexercised.

Two non-competitive FFP awards ($130M + $116M) for Waves F/G through 2026 highlight entrenched VA IT positioning despite zero outlays.

$344M across Leidos portals ($91M, 82% outlayed), RQ-AECOM JV Key West rebuild ($86M), and Marcom recruitment ($86M) underscores sustained enforcement spending.

Booz Allen ($90M DOJ IT, potential $266M), Miracle Systems ($224M GSA CISA), and Rohde & Schwarz ($86M FAA VCS) signal backlog growth in custom programming and cloud.

AIT ($277M State), GAMA-1 ($99M NOAA), and IBM ($87M Ginnie Mae) provide stable funding but muted equity upside due to nonprofit/small biz status.

Zero outlays in 6 contracts ($618M total) despite awards 2020-2025 signal funding/invoicing delays.

FFP structures in 5 contracts ($595M) expose to cost overruns amid inflation/labor shortages.

T&M pricing in 7 contracts ($1.6B) vulnerable to audits on rates/hours; long periods (to 2033) face budget shifts.

High subawards ($233M across 10 contracts) create subcontractor dependencies and margin dilution.

$500M+ unexercised options (e.g., Booz Allen $177M upside, Rohde $160M) across 10 contracts offer backlog expansion.

Extensions to 2030+ in DHS/IT deals (Leidos to 2033, Booz Allen to 2030) align with modernization priorities.

Remaining obligations ($1.1B, e.g., Central Plateau $75M, IPG $47M) provide near-term cash flow ramps.

8 contracts ($1.1B) in EHRM, cloud, VCS, and CISA signal sustained VA/DHS/FAA spending on legacy upgrades.

$264M DHS/Coast Guard/CBP awards for portals, dorms, and recruitment reflect enforcement priorities.

$2.5B DOE/HHS anchors long-duration remediation and outreach amid policy stability.
