New Federal Contractors — October 03, 2026

Boeing secured a firm-fixed-price delivery order under NASA’s Commercial Crew Program, with total potential value of $363.6M through May 2027. The fixed-price structure offers predictable revenue (~$22.1M/year) but exposes Boeing to cost overruns and delays, a known risk in human spaceflight programs.

SAIC’s cost-plus-fixed-fee delivery order from GSA has a total obligation of $287.5M but subawards total $665M, indicating significant fund pass-through to subcontractors. The contract ended in Dec 2022, so it no longer contributes to current revenue, and the negative outlayed amount (-$12,605) suggests financial complexity.

Boeing’s fixed-price NASA contract carries execution risk from potential cost overruns or delays in crew transportation system certification, a known issue in prior Commercial Crew milestones.

SAIC’s GSA contract shows high subaward concentration ($665M vs $287.5M obligation), suggesting SAIC may be acting as a prime contractor with thin margins on pass-through funds. The negative outlayed amount (-$12,605) flags potential accounting or cash flow anomalies.

Both contracts are civilian (NASA and GSA), making them vulnerable to discretionary budget cuts or continuing resolution impacts, particularly for NASA’s long-duration Commercial Crew program.

Boeing’s NASA contract has options for post-certification missions that could expand total value beyond the current $363.6M ceiling, providing upside if exercised.

SAIC’s GSA engineering services contract, though historical, indicates potential for new awards under the same IDIQ vehicle if GSA extends or recompetes the program, given the broad demand for engineering support.

NASA’s $254.3M Boeing contract under the Commercial Crew Program (2015-2027) demonstrates long-term government commitment to human spaceflight, with stable funding for crew transportation systems.

SAIC’s $287.5M GSA contract with $665M in subawards highlights the pass-through nature of large civilian engineering services contracts, where primes may retain thin margins while managing subcontractor networks.
