New Federal Contractors — September 20, 2026

FCN, INC., a woman-owned small business, won a $309.3 million firm-fixed-price delivery order from the IRS for Cisco IT and telecom support services, with total potential value of $388.4 million including options. This award provides a multi-year revenue stream through August 2027 and highlights federal set-aside policy advantages.

FCN, INC. faces medium execution risk on the $309.3 million firm-fixed-price contract, as cost overruns could erode margins. The contract's fixed-price nature requires disciplined cost management.

IRS budget changes or modernization delays could affect contract scope or option exercise, potentially reducing the $388.4 million total potential value.

FCN, INC. can leverage this $309.3 million IRS contract as a reference for similar IT support awards at other civilian agencies, particularly those prioritizing small business set-asides.

FCN's woman-owned small business status provides a competitive edge in federal set-aside contracts, potentially leading to additional awards in the $100B+ civilian IT market.

The $309.3 million IRS award to FCN, INC. underscores ongoing civilian agency investment in IT infrastructure modernization, particularly at the IRS which is prioritizing Cisco-based systems and help desk services.
