High-Value Federal Grants ($5M+) — October 16, 2026

The U.S. Mint firm-fixed-price delivery order to StoneX Financial Ltd ($32,735,314, awarded 2026-10-13, end 2026-10-21) has no recorded outlays, so it is a one-time event whose realized value is unverified. Silver price movement during the window relative to the fixed price is the main exposure.

Sevenson Environmental Services' Army Corps (ENDIST Kansas City) WACC Superfund OU1 delivery order uses cost-plus-fixed-fee pricing, shifting most cost-overrun risk to the government, with performance running to 2027-04-09. Public-market status of the recipient is not established.

FEDTEC LLC's Social Security Administration BPA call ($18,158,937 obligated) sits under a $103,192,848 base-plus-options ceiling, meaning option exercise and follow-on task orders could materially expand revenue beyond the current obligation. Only $6,052,979 has been outlayed to date.

The Whitestone Group HHS security guard delivery order ($51,818,963, 90% outlayed) has a current end of 2026-12-12 with potential extension to 2027-06-29, and roughly $6M of option value remains unexercised. Whether the option is exercised and whether the recipient is investable are both unresolved.

Booz Allen Hamilton's $14,182,428 CDC SEDAV BPA call had a current end of 2023-09-26 and potential end of 2024-04-26, and the data does not confirm whether an extension was exercised or whether a follow-on was awarded. Given Booz Allen's size, this is a limited-materiality signal but a relevant check on civilian health analytics renewal.

Leidos' TSA firm-fixed-price order ($13,227,842, awarded 2017-05-31, closeout status) shows only $57 outlayed against the obligation, with 51% passed to 39 subawards, which raises questions about realized value versus recorded obligation. Impact on Leidos is immaterial at the parent level.

ECS Federal's GSA FEDSIM order ($14,571,553, end 2020-05-23) shows only $37,648 outlayed and $14,352,708 flowed to 20 subawards, indicating a largely pass-through vehicle whose current status is unverified. Materiality to parent ASGN Incorporated is unconfirmed.

Three California Institute of Technology NASA JPL delivery orders (Dragonfly $13,939,429; ExoMars TGO $12,945,824; ROSES research $15,406,186) run to 2027-2028, indicating sustained NASA planetary science funding. The recipient is a nonprofit, so the signal reflects agency budget direction rather than investable equity.

Multiple IT and consulting awards (Deloitte GSA capacity building $30,525,469; Leidos TSA; Steampunk USDA data management $13,019,992; Booz Allen CDC analytics) point to continued civilian federal demand for data, cybersecurity, and modernization support. Deloitte's order is 14.7% subawarded and Steampunk's is 98% outlayed, which affects revenue timing.

Nearly all awards are civilian (only 1 of 27 is defense-related), so the set is highly exposed to civilian discretionary appropriations and any continuing resolution affecting HHS, VA, USDA, and DHS programs, while defense-linked exposure is minimal.

Several large awards show $0 or near-$0 outlays against substantial obligations (StoneX $32.7M, Sevenson $32.7M, Senate Builders $15.1M, Troop Contracting $17.4M, Deloitte $30.5M, Leidos $13.2M at $57), so realized revenue is unverified and billing timing is a key uncertainty.

Caltech accounts for three large NASA awards (ROSES $15.4M, Dragonfly $13.9M, ExoMars $12.9M) totaling roughly $42.3M, creating single-recipient concentration within this set, though the recipient is nonprofit and not investable.

Set-aside designations (SDVOSB, 8(a), small business) on several awards restrict competition to small firms and may reduce the revenue scale of successful recipients, while full-and-open awards (Deloitte, Leidos, Booz Allen, Steampunk) face unrestricted competition.

Data gaps are material: 15+ records lack public-company status, revenue base, or parent disclosure, and one record (OUTSIDE ANALYTICS) has no usable descriptive data, limiting the investable conclusions available from this digest.

FEDTEC LLC's SSA BPA ceiling of $103.2M, with only $18.2M obligated, offers the largest remaining option-driven upside in the digest for an IT management support recipient.

SDVOSB and small-business set-aside awards (Whitestone, CARIBE TECNO, Senate Builders, Troop Contracting) show continued federal construction and security set-aside demand within VA and HHS facility programs.

Sevenson Environmental's cost-plus-fixed-fee Superfund remediation award ($32.7M through 2027) reflects ongoing Army Corps environmental remediation funding that may extend to additional sites.

Caltech's NASA JPL delivery orders are not competed, reflecting a sole-source relationship with NASA JPL that is likely to persist through the 2027-2028 performance periods.

The lone defense-related award, Sigma Defense Systems' $23.9M GSA-routed Joint AISR integration and sustainment order at Langley AFB, points to defense ISR sustainment demand routed through civilian vehicles.

Security guard and facility construction awards (Whitestone $51.8M HHS, Golden SVCS $35.5M DHS FPS, CARIBE TECNO $35.9M VA, Troop Contracting $17.4M VA, Senate Builders $15.1M VA) represent a sizeable cluster of physical-security and facilities spending across HHS, DHS, and VA.

IT and analytics awards (FEDTEC SSA $18.2M, Booz Allen CDC $14.2M, Deloitte GSA $30.5M, Steampunk USDA $13.0M, HALVIK USPTO $32.0M, SANAMETRIX Education $24.1M, DATA COMPUTER CORP HHS $16.2M) show sustained civilian demand for application development, data management, and IT advisory work.

Caltech's three NASA JPL orders (~$42.3M across Dragonfly, ExoMars, ROSES) and COLSA's NASA NTSS task order ($23.8M) indicate sustained space science and mission-support funding through 2026-2028.
