Mega Contracts Monitor ($100M+) — October 04, 2026

PAE Aviation (Amentum) secured a $570.8 million cost-plus incentive fee contract from DHS/CBP for aircraft maintenance, with a potential value of $612.6 million. This competitive win (no set-aside) aligns with stable border security funding, but only $2.1 million has been outlayed, indicating limited current revenue recognition.

Leidos' $694.2 million cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order from GSA for 3D geospatial services ended in November 2021 and has a negative outlayed amount (-$163K), suggesting possible termination or underfunding. This raises concerns about the durability of Leidos' geospatial revenue stream.

TOTE Services received a $15 million firm-fixed-price delivery order from DOT/Maritime Administration for a 'MRIV BUILD SLOT RESERVATION' (NAICS 336611). While small, this could be a precursor to larger shipbuilding contracts, given the full and open competition win.

All three contracts show minimal outlays relative to obligations (Leidos negative, PAE $2.1M of $570.8M, TOTE $15M one-time). This suggests potential delays, cancellations, or underfunding, which could impact revenue recognition for Leidos, Amentum, and TOTE Services.

Leidos' GSA geospatial contract has a negative outlayed amount (-$163K) and expired performance period, indicating possible termination or underfunding. This could signal execution issues or a loss of follow-on work.

PAE/Amentum's DHS/CBP aircraft maintenance contract has only $2.1M outlayed against a $570.8M obligation, suggesting slow execution or potential funding constraints. The cost-plus incentive fee structure adds cost risk sharing.

All three contracts are civilian (0/3 defense-related), indicating a potential over-reliance on civilian agency spending, which may be more susceptible to budget cuts or policy shifts compared to defense spending.

TOTE Services' $15M contract is a one-time, 6-month delivery order with no options, limiting future revenue visibility. The full and open competition win suggests price/technical merit, but no recurring revenue stream.

Amentum's DHS/CBP aircraft maintenance contract aligns with stable border security priorities, offering potential for follow-on work or extensions. The cost-plus incentive fee structure could lead to additional task orders if performance is strong.

Leidos' $694M GSA geospatial contract, despite negative outlay, indicates strong government demand for high-resolution 3D geospatial services. Future GSA awards could provide significant revenue if execution improves.

TOTE Services' shipbuilding slot reservation could be a precursor to larger Maritime Administration contracts, given the full and open competition win and the company's Jacksonville, FL location.

The three contracts span geospatial engineering (GSA), aircraft maintenance (DHS), and shipbuilding (DOT), indicating a broad federal push to modernize civilian infrastructure and services. Total civilian obligations reached $1.76 billion, with no defense-related awards.

Leidos' $694M GSA contract for 3D geospatial engineering services underscores sustained federal investment in geospatial data analytics, despite the contract's negative outlay. This suggests a strong demand signal that could translate into future awards.

PAE/Amentum's $570.8M DHS/CBP aircraft maintenance contract highlights stable funding for border security operations, a priority that historically receives bipartisan support. This could drive recurring revenue for maintenance providers.
