Contract Option Exercises — September 22, 2026

The $240.6 million firm-fixed-price delivery order to QTC Medical Services (Leidos subsidiary) from the VA for medical evaluation services has a one-year performance period ending September 30, 2024, with 97% of funds already outlayed. No options or follow-on contracts are included in this data, creating a potential revenue gap for Leidos if the VA does not re-compete or extend the work.

QTC Medical Services won this $240.6 million contract under full and open competition with no set-aside, indicating a competitive moat in physician-based evaluation/screening services (NAICS 621111). The near-complete funding utilization (97%) suggests high demand and reliable execution, which could lead to future task orders or re-competes.

Leidos' QTC subsidiary is highly dependent on VA medical evaluation contracts; this single $240.6M award represents a material revenue stream with no visible follow-on in the data.

The VA's medical evaluation budget is subject to annual appropriations; a government shutdown or continuing resolution could delay or reduce follow-on awards for QTC/Leidos.

The VA's sustained spending on medical evaluations (evidenced by 97% funding utilization) suggests stable or growing demand for physician-based screening services, benefiting Leidos and other contractors like Maximus or General Dynamics Health.

The VA's $240.6 million award to QTC Medical Services for physician-based evaluations, with 97% funding utilization, demonstrates strong demand for outsourced medical screening services despite broader budget uncertainty.
