Significant Contract Modifications ($10M+) — October 08, 2026

T-Mobile USA's firm-fixed-price VA wireless award carries $59.9M obligated and $40.7M outlayed, with a maximum value of $213.9M extending toward 2032. Full-and-open competition with no set-aside supports the view that T-Mobile won on pricing and capability.

AT&T Mobility National Accounts holds a firm-fixed-price VA wireless contract with $42.3M obligated and up to $108.5M including options through 2032. Competed on full-and-open terms, the award reinforces AT&T's federal wireless position.

SpaceX's firm-fixed-price NASA delivery order for dedicated and rideshare launches carries a $300M base-plus-options ceiling over nine years, with $33.1M obligated and $21M outlayed. The full-and-open win reinforces SpaceX's dominance in NASA launch procurement.

Distributed Solutions, a Reston small business, won a firm-fixed-price VA delivery order with $35.6M obligated and up to $118M with options, transitioning toward a SaaS subscription model with recurring revenue characteristics.

RIVA Solutions, a subsidiary of RANDA Solutions, won a labor-hours Department of Commerce delivery order with $25.7M obligated and up to $41.0M with options through 2028, competed full-and-open with no set-aside.

Scientific Research Corporation won a $61.9M cost-plus-award-fee GSA delivery order for Test Capability Development support, with options bringing the potential total to $191.2M through 2030. Cost-plus structure lowers contractor risk.

GDIT received a $60.5M non-competed time-and-materials USPTO award for enterprise cloud modernization, with a potential value of $124.2M through options. Sole-source status and IT modernization focus support durability, though T&M pricing carries cost risk.

Perimeter Solutions, a U.S.-owned small business, received a non-competed $87.6M USDA Forest Service fire retardant delivery order, but as of the record no funds have been outlayed. Investors should watch whether 2026 outlays materialize as wildfire season spending.

Lumen Technologies Government Solutions' $46.5M VA co-located hosting delivery order, with options to $102.7M, is a fixed-price award running through 2027. Ongoing outlay visibility is limited, and Lumen is a large business competing without set-asides.

ADVON Corporation's $34.2M firm-fixed-price NASA Stennis demolition order runs through February 2029, but only $1.7M has been outlayed, and the contract carries high pricing risk.

MDM Construction's $23.2M Fort Meade EHRM upgrade and ESA South's $45.9M Dallas hospital infrastructure award are both firm-fixed-price construction contracts flagged as high pricing risk, with no options to offset overrun exposure.

Multiple fixed-price awards show minimal or zero outlays relative to obligations, including Perimeter Solutions ($0 of $87.6M), ADVON ($1.7M of $34.2M), PMX Industries ($0 of $21.9M), and FedEx's two VA delivery orders ($0 of $25M each), raising revenue-timing uncertainty.

Several civilian awards are subject to annual appropriations and continuing resolution timing, particularly the Department of Labor Job Corps and HHS testing contracts whose options depend on FY2027 funding.

Veterans Affairs accounts for the largest share of awards in this set, concentrating civilian exposure in a single agency whose telecom and construction budgets could be reprioritized.

Set-aside awards to SDVOSB, 8(a), and ANC-owned firms (e.g., Holitna Construction, Chenega, Ahtna Target JV, Koniag) face policy risk if set-aside programs are narrowed.

Recurring VA telecom and hosting spend creates renewal and expansion opportunities for national carriers already on multi-year vehicles.

Non-competed IT and R&D awards (GDIT at USPTO, MI Technical Solutions at GSA for Navy R&D) show incumbency advantages that could be extended.

Space launch and NASA infrastructure spending continues through VADR and Stennis/Marshall facility modernization.

SDVOSB and 8(a) small businesses continue winning VA and HHS construction and IT work under preferential set-asides.

The Department of Veterans Affairs is awarding long-duration wireless and hosting contracts to T-Mobile, AT&T, and Lumen, with combined base obligations exceeding $150M and option ceilings extending toward 2032.

Multiple civilian IT modernization awards (GDIT cloud at USPTO, RIVA P-TACTS, Distributed Solutions VA SaaS, Titania CMS testing) indicate sustained investment in digital government infrastructure.

A large share of construction and facilities awards go to SDVOSB, 8(a), and ANC-owned firms, with firm-fixed-price structures transferring overrun risk to small contractors.
