Contract Option Exercises — March 03, 2026

Bollinger ($2.08B obligation, up to 26 FRCs to 2028) and Birdon ($106M to 2034) secure long-term Coast Guard revenue in NAICS 336611.

Brasfield & Gorrie ($407M FBI tech buildings) and BCCG JV ($105M CBP border barrier) indicate near-term DOJ/DHS buildout through 2026.

SAIC ($806M State IT to 2025) and Maximus ($104M CMS consulting to 2026) show strong outlay progress ($377M+$87M) with options upside.

Fixed-price structures across 5 contracts ($2.7B+ total) expose to cost overruns, amplified by low initial outlays (e.g., Bollinger $0, BCCG $0.6M).

Extended periods (Birdon to 2034, ATCC to 2029) vulnerable to DHS/HHS funding shifts despite current obligations.

$500M+ unexercised options (e.g., Bollinger $68M, SAIC $453M, ATCC $258M) for revenue expansion.

DHS focus on FRC fleet completion (to 58 cutters) and border barriers positions shipbuilders/construction for follow-ons.

60%+ of value ($2.28B) in DHS awards for ships/borders highlights homeland security prioritization over other agencies.

Prevalent pricing (5/7 contracts) with long horizons risks margins amid inflation, but high outlays (e.g., Brasfield 94%) show progress.
