High-Value Federal Grants ($5M+)

4 total filings analysed

Executive Summary

These four high-value federal grants totaling $1,907,292,467 obligation are entirely civilian (0/4 defense-related), dominated by Department of Homeland Security (DHS) construction and General Services Administration (GSA) IT services themes. Barnard Construction Company, Incorporated's $1,585,324,926 DHS award represents 83% of the aggregate and carries the highest-conviction bullish signal due to its materiality (8/10). CGI Federal Inc.'s $147,239,431 GSA IT delivery order (base + options $289,432,406) adds another strong bullish signal in computer systems design. Neutral signals from Potomac Electric Power Co ($168,075,608 HHS) and Lockheed Martin Corporation ($6,652,501 GSA) dilute overall momentum (avg strength 5.0/10). Key watch item: zero outlays to date on CGI Federal and Lockheed Martin contracts signal execution ramp-up risks.
