New Federal Contractors β March 29, 2026
Five new federal contracts totaling $1.33B in obligations signal bullish momentum for health/tech and security providers, with HHS dominating at ~$699M (53% of total) via CMS software verification and NIH R&D. Long-term performance periods to 2027-2029 offer revenue stability, though options could unlock $6B+ upside across portfolios. Neutral stance on nonprofit Family Endeavors due to T&M pricing and shorter horizon, but overall portfolio supports overweight in gov-contracted health R&D and IT services.
