Federal IT & Cybersecurity Contracts — December 24, 2025

Two awards totaling $802M obligation (up to $2.38B options) under cost-plus structures via full competition underscore competitive edge in FEDSIM task orders.

$507M across Accenture and Oracle for VBA/EHRM through 2027 reflects multi-year commitment to systems design amid firm fixed-price wins.

Unexercised options represent 140% above current $1.31B obligations, concentrated in SALIENT CRGT ($1.55B + $42M) and Accenture ($309M).

High subcontracting dependency (avg. 45%; peaks at 76%/$346M for SALIENT CRGT #1) risks delays from 395-212 subs across awards.

Outlay lags ($0 for three awards; negative -$31k for SALIENT CRGT #1) signal funding/billing delays despite $341M-$456M obligations.

Firm fixed-price structures (Accenture $231M, Oracle $156M) expose to cost overruns vs. cost-plus peers (SALIENT CRGT).

GSA FEDSIM follow-ons for SALIENT CRGT post-2024/2026 endings, leveraging $802M base and MAVERICK task order.

VA extensions to 2027-2029 for Accenture/Oracle, plus EHRM/VBA expansions amid $507M commitments.

Subcontracting ecosystem ($554M total across 674 awards) benefits mid-tier IT suppliers tied to primes.

100% of $1.31B in full/open competition or sole-source wins for systems design, with cost-plus favoring incumbents.

45% avg. obligations to 674 subs signals fragmented execution but scalable prime models.
