Federal IT & Cybersecurity Contracts

3 total filings analysed

Executive Summary

Three bullish federal IT contracts totaling $288.98M in obligations (ceiling $1.58B) awarded to CACI, Booz Allen Hamilton, and ManTech signal robust demand for NAICS 541512 computer systems design services through 2026-2029. Multi-year visibility via GSA (2/3 awards) and DoS provides backlog stability, with $66M+ in unexercised options offering upside. Low outlays ($35M CACI; $0 ManTech; negative Booz Allen) flag early-stage execution risks but highlight growth potential as funding ramps.

Investment Signals(2)

  • Multi-year federal IT backlog surge(HIGH)

    All three awards extend to at least 2026 (ManTech to 2029 potential) under full/open competition, locking in $289M obligations with $1.29B+ option upside for NAICS 541512 services.

  • GSA dominance in large IT awards(HIGH)

    GSA FAS accounts for 64% of obligated value ($188M across Booz Allen and ManTech), underscoring agency preference for established primes in professional IT support.

Risk Flags(2)

  • Execution[HIGH RISK]

    Low/negative outlays signal funding delays: CACI $35M of $101M; ManTech $0; Booz Allen -$32K.

  • Execution[MEDIUM RISK]

    Pricing vulnerabilities: CACI firm-fixed (cost overrun risk); Booz Allen T&M (cost scrutiny); ManTech cost-plus but 73 subawards $568M create supply chain dependency.

Opportunities(2)

  • $1.29B in unexercised options (e.g., ManTech $1.19B delta; Booz Allen $84M; CACI $17M) tied to 2026-2029 extensions.

  • Concentrated GSA demand for NAICS 541512 creates follow-on pipeline for primes with proven delivery.

Sector Themes(2)

  • 100% of awards target PSC R4XX professional/IT support under NAICS 541512, with GSA/DoS prioritizing multi-year vehicles amid cyber priorities.

  • High subawards (ManTech $568M/73; CACI/BAH $2M each) indicate primes as integrators, dispersing risk but tying value to vendor execution.
