Federal IT & Cybersecurity Contracts — December 23, 2025

All five contracts target NAICS 541512 services with obligations through 2026-2029, reflecting multi-year commitments amid cybersecurity and infrastructure priorities.

CACI ($946M) and Companion ($407M) hold bulk of unexercised options, potentially doubling obligated value if exercised by 2028-2029.

$404M in subawards across 539 recipients could dilute margins and introduce delays in performance.

Zero outlays in two contracts ($583M obligated) despite long tenors signal funding delays or slow starts.

Pricing structures (cost-plus, T&M, fixed-price) expose margins to labor inflation or audits over 3-5 year horizons.

Option exercises could unlock $1.4B+ additional revenue, led by CACI's $946M ceiling.

Small/disadvantaged business wins (e.g., Development Infrastructure) position for set-aside pipelines in refugee/IT support.

80% of value tied to 2026+ endings, prioritizing stability over short-term wins in data centers, identity mgmt, and enterprise support.

Non-small businesses claim 87% of value despite small biz set-asides, signaling depth in Fed IT supplier base.
