Executive Summary

Three DHS awards totaling $68,681,923 in obligations were analyzed for the October 16, 2026 period, with zero defense-related records and all three classified as civilian homeland security work.

The largest award, GOLDEN SVCS, LLC's $35,454,081 Armed Guard II delivery order from DHS Federal Protective Service (2024-09-01 to 2027-08-31), carries the highest materiality but its public-company exposure cannot be confirmed from the data. LMD AGENCY, INC.'s $20,000,000 CBP national media campaign BPA call (awarded 2026-09-20) has $0 outlayed to date, so its revenue pace is unproven. LEIDOS, INC.'s $13,227,842 TSA delivery order is a closed-out 2017 award with only $57 outlayed, offering little current signal. The highest-conviction takeaway is that the DHS physical-security stream is durable but low-materiality for listed investors; the primary watch item is whether obligations from the GOLDEN and LMD awards convert into actual outlays, given that $13.2M of GOLDEN's ceiling remains unobligated and LMD has recorded no outlays.

Investment Signals (4)

  • GOLDEN SVCS, LLC: $35.5M DHS FPS Armed Guard Order With Public Exposure Unconfirmed (MEDIUM)
    ▲

    The firm-fixed-price order from DHS Federal Protective Service carries $35,454,081 obligated against a $48,670,000 Base + All Options ceiling, with $25,445,434 already outlayed. The data does not establish whether GOLDEN SVCS, LLC is publicly traded or part of a larger parent, limiting investability.

  • GOLDEN SVCS, LLC: Option Exercise Could Lift Obligations Toward $48.67M Ceiling (MEDIUM)
    ▲

    Roughly $13.2M of ceiling value remains unobligated, and exercise of options before 2027-08-31 would move the order toward its full value. Option exercise is the key near-term event for this contract.

  • LMD AGENCY, INC.: $20M CBP Media BPA Shows $0 Outlayed (MEDIUM)
    ▲

    The firm-fixed-price BPA call from DHS/U.S. Customs and Border Protection for a national media campaign has $0 outlayed against the $20,000,000 obligation as of the snapshot. Realized revenue pace is therefore unverified until outlays begin.

  • LEIDOS, INC.: $13.2M TSA Delivery Order Closed Out With $57 Outlayed (HIGH)
    ▲

    Leidos's firm-fixed-price TSA order (awarded 2017-05-31, ended 2021-05-31) shows only $57 outlayed against $13,227,842 obligated and 39 subawards totaling $6,814,732. The closeout status limits its relevance to forward revenue.

Risk Flags (4)

  • Execution [MEDIUM RISK]
    ▼

    LMD AGENCY, INC.'s $20M CBP media award has $0 outlayed; if spending lags, realized revenue from the one-year period of performance (ending 2027-09-19) could fall well short of the obligation.

  • Execution [LOW RISK]
    ▼

    LEIDOS, INC.'s TSA delivery order shows $57 outlayed on a $13.2M obligation despite a closed status, raising questions about final contract value and whether the award was substantially performed.

  • Concentration [MEDIUM RISK]
    ▼

    GOLDEN SVCS, LLC's $35.5M award represents about 52% of the $68.7M aggregate, so a single contract drives this stream's value; the single-agency, single-contract structure limits diversification.

  • Budget [LOW RISK]
    ▼

    No budget trend or appropriations context is provided for DHS in this data, so forward demand for the physical-security and media services cannot be assessed; Continuing Resolution risk applies to federal award timing generally.

Opportunities (3)

  • ◆

    GOLDEN SVCS, LLC could capture additional revenue if FPS exercises options and moves obligations toward the $48,670,000 Base + All Options ceiling.

  • ◆

    LMD AGENCY, INC. could gain follow-on CBP task orders if the national media campaign expands beyond the current BPA call.

  • ◆

    LEIDOS, INC.'s pattern of TSA screening-equipment engineering support, with 39 subawards, suggests potential follow-on EDS installation work for subcontractors.

Sector Themes (2)

  • ◆

    GOLDEN SVCS's $35,454,081 FPS Armed Guard order shows continued federal demand for contracted physical security in Northern Virginia through 2027. Evidence is limited to this single award, with no budget history provided.

  • ◆

    The stream spans physical security (FPS), media campaigns (CBP), and TSA screening support, all civilian with zero defense records. Spend is spread across distinct service types rather than one capability.
