Contract Option Exercises

6 total filings analysed

Executive Summary

These six contract option exercises total $4,180,930,218 in obligations, with 0/6 defense-related and fully civilian agency focus across HHS, VA, GSA, EPA, and NASA. Dominant themes include health and medical insurance services (HHS MAXIMUS FEDERAL SERVICES, INC. at $2.78B and VA TRIWEST HEALTHCARE ALLIANCE CORP at $928.9M) and engineering/R&D support. Highest-conviction bullish signal is CACI NSS, LLC's $399.6M GSA engineering delivery order (strength 8/10), signaling durable cost-plus award fee revenue through potential 2026 extension. Key risk is data anomalies including TriWest's $0 outlayed with future performance dates (March 2026) and CACI's negative -$530K outlayed, warranting close funds progress monitoring.
