Executive Summary
Federal IT & Cybersecurity contracts show $1.46B in obligations across 11 awards, with 10 bullish signals dominated by NAICS 541512 (computer systems design) for student aid, cloud, cyber automation, and SaaS. Public firms (GD, SAIC, ORCL, MAXS, ACN) secure ~$797M (55%) of obligations, offering multi-year revenue visibility amid $2B+ options upside. Risks cluster on firm-fixed-price cost overruns (7/11 contracts) and low outlays ($0 in 4 cases), but long-term extensions to 2035 signal sustained Fed IT spend.
