Contract Option Exercises — April 17, 2026

Optum Public Sector Solutions, Inc. exercised a $1,102,850,655 option from VA on 2026-04-15 for medical-managed healthcare (PSC Q201), bolstering UnitedHealth Group's civilian healthcare revenue pipeline.

UnitedHealth subsidiary Optum received $894,515,798 firm-fixed-price VA option exercised 2026-04-15 for one-month (Dec 2025) managed healthcare at Fredericksburg, VA, under full/open competition with $0 outlayed.

Optum's $782,102,376 VA firm-fixed-price delivery order option (2026-04-15 award for Nov 2025 performance) under NAICS 524114 reinforces UnitedHealth's VA managed care dominance via full/open competition.

Boooz Allen Hamilton's $492,049,724 cost-plus award fee GSA delivery order (base+options $682M) extends to potential 2025-07-21, demonstrating competitive win retention in engineering (NAICS 541330).

General Dynamics Information Technology's $113,504,349 GSA option (base+options $1.475B) for Offutt AFB IT lifecycle support extends potentially to 2032-09-21 under cost-plus structure.

Deloitte's $86,168,632 time-and-materials GSA delivery order extends to 2026-09-28 for enterprise support (NAICS 541330), providing 5-year revenue visibility post full/open competition.

Optum's three VA contracts ($2.78B total) carry high fixed-price risk with $0 outlays, one-month performance periods in 2025, and 2026-04-15 award dates post-dating starts, risking non-execution.

GSA contracts to Booz Allen ($492M), General Dynamics IT ($113M), and Deloitte ($86M) show minimal outlays (e.g., Booz Allen -$1,508; others $0), vulnerable to civilian budget constraints amid CR risks.

Whiting-Turner's $63M firm-fixed-price Commerce/NIST renovation has only $3.2M outlayed toward 2025-10-06 end, exposing construction execution risks.

UnitedHealth Group via Optum's $2.78B VA managed healthcare options signal expansion in VA FY26 Q1 spending on NAICS 524114 services.

General Dynamics IT's GSA SCITLS order with $1.475B ceiling offers multi-year IT upside through 2032-09-21 at Offutt AFB.

Booz Allen Hamilton's GSA engineering order ceiling of $682M provides low-risk revenue growth via cost-plus to 2025-07-21.

VA awarded ~$2.78B in three firm-fixed-price options to Optum Public Sector Solutions (PSC Q201, NAICS 524114) for FY26 Q1, despite execution uncertainties.

GSA exercised options totaling ~$692M to Booz Allen ($492M engineering), General Dynamics IT ($113M IT support), and Deloitte ($86M program management), emphasizing cost-plus vehicles.
