Significant Contract Modifications ($10M+)

By Gunpowder Editorial ·

1 total filings analysed

Executive Summary

In the single significant contract modification tracked for September 13, 2026, Tutor Perini Corporation secured a $315 million firm-fixed-price delivery order from the U.S. Coast Guard (Department of Homeland Security) for the design and construction of a fuel pier and cutter mooring at Base Kodiak, Alaska.

This is a civilian agency award (0/1 defense-related) and represents a major infrastructure win for Tutor Perini, with an estimated annual revenue contribution of $78.75 million over a four-year performance period through September 2030. The contract signals sustained federal investment in Coast Guard infrastructure, particularly in strategic Arctic/Alaska locations, and provides Tutor Perini with predictable, fixed-price revenue—though execution risk on cost overruns remains a key watch item. The highest-conviction signal is the materiality of the award to Tutor Perini's backlog, while the primary risk is the fixed-price nature of the contract in a remote, logistically complex construction environment.

Investment Signals (1)

  • Tutor Perini Wins $315M Coast Guard Infrastructure Contract at Base Kodiak (HIGH)
    ▲

    Tutor Perini Corporation received a $315 million firm-fixed-price delivery order from the U.S. Coast Guard for a fuel pier and cutter mooring at Base Kodiak, AK, with performance through September 2030. This large, full-and-open competition award provides a significant multi-year revenue stream and strengthens Tutor Perini's backlog in federal infrastructure construction.

Risk Flags (2)

  • Execution [MEDIUM RISK]
    ▼

    The firm-fixed-price nature of the $315 million delivery order places cost overrun risk on Tutor Perini, particularly given the remote Alaska location and complex marine construction requirements. Any delays or cost overruns at Base Kodiak could pressure margins.

  • Budget [LOW RISK]
    ▼

    As a Department of Homeland Security (Coast Guard) award, the contract is subject to civilian agency budget appropriations. Future funding for military construction projects could be impacted by broader federal budget negotiations or continuing resolutions, though the firm-fixed-price structure mitigates funding variability.

Opportunities (2)

  • ◆

    The Coast Guard's investment in critical fuel infrastructure at Base Kodiak signals a broader trend of federal civilian agency infrastructure modernization, particularly in strategic Arctic locations. Tutor Perini could leverage this win to pursue additional Coast Guard or Department of Homeland Security construction projects.

  • ◆

    While this is a civilian agency award, the strategic importance of Base Kodiak to national defense (Arctic security) could lead to additional military construction opportunities for Tutor Perini, especially as the DOD increases focus on Arctic capabilities.

Sector Themes (2)

  • ◆

    The $315 million Coast Guard award to Tutor Perini underscores a trend of increased federal civilian agency spending on critical infrastructure, particularly for homeland security and maritime operations. This contract highlights the durability of non-defense federal construction budgets.

  • ◆

    The fuel pier and cutter mooring at Base Kodiak, Alaska, reflects growing federal investment in Arctic-capable infrastructure, driven by strategic competition and homeland security priorities. This is a niche but expanding area of federal construction spending.

Watch List (2)

  • 👁
