Significant Contract Modifications ($10M+) — April 15, 2026

Significant Contract Modifications ($10M+)

10 total filings analysed

Executive Summary

These 10 significant contract modifications total $3,349,099,541 in obligations, with 0/10 defense-related—all civilian agencies including State, DHS, DOE, HHS, Treasury, NASA, USAID, PBGC, and Commerce. Dominant themes are long-duration IT, professional services, and specialized equipment contracts, heavily weighted toward small businesses via set-asides or open competition. Highest-conviction bullish signal is XATOR LLC's $2,309,491,422 Department of State award (materiality 8/10), providing massive revenue potential despite sparse details. UNWIN CO's $213,772,540 DOE set-aside and SOFTRAMS LLC's $88,157,680 HHS delivery order further highlight small-business growth in security and healthcare IT. Key risk: stalled outlays on historical contracts like General Dynamics Information Technology's $329,952,976 DHS award (ended 2015, $0 outlayed). Watch option exercises and remaining obligations across long-term deals through 2032.
