Federal Professional Services Contracts

2 total filings analysed

Executive Summary

Two bullish federal engineering services contracts totaling $160M in obligations signal strong demand in NAICS 541330, with Ameresco securing a $95M VA ESPC (up to $151M) and Tetra Tech's subsidiary a $66M FAA aviation task order (up to $70M). Significant unexercised options (~$60M combined) offer near-term upside, while high outlays on the FAA deal ($61M) indicate execution momentum. Long-dated terms to mid-2026 highlight sustained federal spending but expose contractors to execution risks.
