Federal Professional Services Contracts — January 23, 2026

ManTech ($124M DHS CBP), Booz Allen ($30M GSA), and Deloitte ($26M PBGC) win T&M contracts totaling $180M obligated, with options to $312M, extending to 2025-2029.

IBM ($110M GSA HR), Yale nonprofit ($31M CMS), Noresco ($30M NIH to 2035), and Eagle Harbor small biz ($27M DOJ) add $198M but limited investor access due to private/nonprofit status.

Four of seven contracts ($211M obligated) under NAICS 541330 signal sustained federal demand for engineering/professional support.

Low outlays average ~30% of obligations (e.g., ManTech $57M/124M, IBM -$0.5M/110M, Booz Allen $0/30M), signaling funding delays over long periods to 2035.

T&M pricing in three bullish awards ($180M) vulnerable to labor rate audits and hour scrutiny.

Heavy subawards (e.g., IBM 334/$48M, ManTech 15/$27M) create subcontractor dependencies.

$250M+ in unobligated options (e.g., ManTech $107M, Eagle Harbor $52M, Deloitte $17M) across six contracts.

Extensions possible to 2029-2035 in four contracts (Noresco to 2035, Yale/Deloitte to 2029).

8(a) set-aside success for Eagle Harbor signals small/disadvantaged biz pipeline in DOJ/engineering.

NAICS 541330 captures 56% of obligated value ($211M/379M) across DHS, GSA, NIH, DOJ.

GSA (3 awards/$171M), HHS (2/$61M) show concentration in admin/engineering support.
