Significant Contract Modifications ($10M+)

22 total filings analysed

Executive Summary

Federal agencies modified 22 contracts totaling $1.9B, with 18 bullish signals dominated by IT services (NAICS 541512/541519), health support, construction, and space R&D, signaling robust demand through 2026-2032. Public companies like Lockheed Martin (LMT, $66M Coast Guard helicopters), General Dynamics (GD, $73M CMS IT), Leidos (LDOS, $68M GSA software), Ameresco (AMRC, $95M VA energy), Intuitive Machines (LUNR, $88M NASA lunar), Tetra Tech (TTEK, $66M FAA), and Accenture (ACN, $94M DHS IT) capture significant backlog with high outlays on average (60%+ where reported). Risks center on firm-fixed-price structures and execution over multi-year horizons, but unexercised options (~$1B+ potential) offer upside.
