New Federal Contractors — October 17, 2026

Largest award in the set, a firm fixed-price contract with a potential end of 2030-08-31, but only about 26% of the $382,324,910 base-plus-options value is obligated and total outlay is $0. Realized revenue depends on option exercise and first outlays after the 2026-09-01 start.

The firm fixed-price structure with high pricing risk places cost-overrun exposure on the contractor for 24/7/365 armed ground transportation, and the parent is Guernsey-based, which adds scrutiny on ownership.

Only $47,581,167 of the $96,403,028 base-plus-options value is obligated, with $39,810,825 already outlaid, so remaining value depends on options and the firm fixed-price structure shifts overrun risk to the contractor.

Coulson Aviation's $27,996,631 order has about 82% outlaid with roughly $20.0M of unobligated option value, and AERO AIR's $24,457,497 order runs to 2028-12-31, indicating multi-year wildfire aviation demand.

Coulson is a foreign-owned small business, so any change to its foreign-ownership status could affect eligibility, and wildfire aviation demand is incident-driven and seasonal.

A service-disabled veteran-owned small business set-aside firm-fixed-price award through 2028-02-23, reflecting VA preference-program spending on facility infrastructure, though $0 is outlaid and public exposure is unconfirmed.

The Sierra Nevada Job Corps Center contract's current end date of 2022-07-31 has already passed in the data, so continued revenue depends on an extension or recompete not shown in the record.

Burn rate is very low against the obligation and the 2024-10-14 end date has already passed in the data, raising questions about performance or closeout status.

A firm fixed-price call with roughly half of the $27,760,327 ceiling obligated, positioned in federal application-development demand, but $0 outlay and the modest size relative to GD Corp limit materiality.

Substantial progress against the award with $16,435,675 disbursed and $8,612,364 in subawards, supporting near-term revenue visibility for a small construction firm, though it is not confirmed as publicly traded.

GardaWorld Federal Services LLC's $100,467,801 DHS/ICE award has $0 outlaid and only 26% of its $382,324,910 ceiling obligated, with firm fixed-price cost-overrun exposure on armed transport operations.

Multiple awards show internally inconsistent competition designations (e.g., King Street Technology Partners' SDVOSB set-aside recorded as full and open), and several recipients' status cannot be confirmed.

Several awards have end dates already passed (Management & Training Corporation at 2022-07-31; University of Dayton at 2024-10-14) with unclear extension or closeout status, which raises revenue-visibility and funding-continuity questions.

Several large awards depend heavily on unexercised options, with unobligated gaps including roughly $282M on GardaWorld and about $20M on Coulson Aviation, so realized backlog is materially smaller than headline ceilings.

Foreign-ownership and parent-structure questions (Coulson Aviation's foreign-owned status and GardaWorld's Guernsey-based parent) could affect eligibility or scrutiny in federal programs.

DHS detention and protective-security services (GardaWorld $100.5M, Triple Canopy $47.6M) represent a recurring demand pattern for guard and transport contractors.

VA and GSA set-aside awards (BLUEWAY ONE JV $48.9M, King Street Technology Partners $18.7M, Burchick Construction $29.0M) show continued preference-program spending in facilities and IT.

Forest Service airtanker demand is spread across Coulson Aviation ($28.0M) and AERO AIR ($24.5M), both running to 2028-12-31 with unobligated option value.

NASA mission-support awards (Caltech JPL $17.1M, Akima Global Logistics $15.5M) indicate sustained space-science support funding through 2027-2028.

DHS awards to GardaWorld ($100.5M) and Triple Canopy ($47.6M) together account for about $148M of obligations, pointing to sustained demand for detention transport and protective security labor.

Forest Service airtanker awards to Coulson Aviation ($28.0M) and AERO AIR ($24.5M) total about $52.5M with runways to 2028, reflecting multi-year wildfire suppression aviation spending.

VA awards to BLUEWAY ONE JV ($48.9M boiler replacement) and King Street Technology Partners ($18.7M enterprise mobility) show spending flowing to service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses.

DOL Job Corps operations contracts to Management & Training Corporation ($79.1M) and ARBOR E & T ($17.6M) show ongoing federal workforce-training outsourcing, though one contract's end date has passed.
