Significant Contract Modifications ($10M+) — October 13, 2026

Significant Contract Modifications ($10M+)

By Gunpowder Editorial ·

3 total filings analysed

Executive Summary

Three significant contract modifications totaling $65,819,086 were reported for the October 13, 2026 window, with zero defense-related awards and the entire stream sitting in civilian agencies: GSA ($22,581,570 to Messer Construction Co), HHS/CDC ($21,908,995 to Digital Management LLC), and USDA Forest Service ($21,328,521 to Perimeter Solutions LP).

The dominant theme is civilian facilities, IT hosting, and wildfire-suppression supply rather than defense modernization, and all three awards were competed on a full-and-open basis with firm-fixed-price pricing. Average signal strength was 3.3/10 and every contract was rated neutral, so no bullish or bearish call is supported by this data alone. The highest-materiality item is the Perimeter Solutions USDA award, which has the largest share of unspent obligation (about $13.5M remaining through 2026) and is the most useful watch item. The key risk is that recipient financials are not disclosed, so materiality to any listed equity cannot be established from these records.

Investment Signals (3)

  • Perimeter Solutions LP: $21,328,521 USDA Forest Service retardant BPA with ~$13.5M still to be called off in FY26 (MEDIUM)
    ▲

    Only $7,821,639 (about 37%) of the obligation is outlayed against a 2026-01-01 to 2026-12-31 performance period, so call-off volume through year-end is the near-term revenue driver. The 'FY26' designation also raises the possibility of follow-on awards.

  • Messer Construction Co: $22,581,570 GSA build-out nearing completion with ~$1.46M remaining (MEDIUM)
    ▲

    About 93.5% of the $22,581,570 firm-fixed-price obligation is already outlayed against a current end date of 2026-06-26, leaving limited incremental revenue and suggesting close-out timing. Whether the award extends toward 2027-03-31 is not established in the data.

  • Digital Management LLC: $21,908,995 CDC hosting order with ~$3.5M unspent through 2026-11-10 (LOW)
    ▲

    The firm-fixed-price order is 84% outlayed ($18,409,011), leaving roughly $3.5M to be delivered before the 2026-11-10 end date, and the identical current and potential end dates offer no extension signal. Public-company status is not established, so investability is unknown.

Risk Flags (3)

  • Concentration [LOW RISK]
    ▼

    All three awards are civilian; there is no defense exposure in this stream, so the signals do not inform DOD budget or NDAA-linked positioning.

  • Execution [MEDIUM RISK]
    ▼

    Recipient ownership and financials are undisclosed for Digital Management LLC, and Perimeter Solutions' total revenue is unknown, so materiality of each award to any public company cannot be assessed.

  • Budget [MEDIUM RISK]
    ▼

    Perimeter Solutions' FY26 retardant BPA is an on-demand structure, so revenue depends on wildfire season call-offs rather than guaranteed quantities, creating volume uncertainty.

Opportunities (2)

  • ◆

    Perimeter Solutions LP could see incremental volume if the USDA retardant BPA is called off heavily during the 2026 fire season against the $21,328,521 ceiling.

  • ◆

    The GSA Messer award and CDC Digital Management award indicate continued civilian facilities and IT hosting demand, though the single-period data cannot confirm a trend.

Sector Themes (2)

  • ◆

    The stream is entirely civilian, spanning federal building build-out ($22,581,570) and computer systems hosting ($21,908,995), both under full-and-open competition and firm-fixed-price terms.

  • ◆

    The USDA Forest Service awarded Perimeter Solutions a $21,328,521 on-demand retardant BPA for FY26, with only about 37% outlayed so far.
