Federal Professional Services Contracts — February 20, 2026

Three GSA delivery orders totaling $243M obligations (potential $760M with options) awarded to Tatitlek, Manta, and Amentum for NAICS 541330 support, favoring small/8(a) firms via set-asides.

$116M CMS obligation with 67% ($77M) outlayed since 2023 supports steady Time & Materials cash flow through 2026-2028.

Tria Federal's $55M VA BPA call offers modest option upside to $67M but lags with $0 outlay.

$0 outlay across 80% of contracts ($298M obligations) signals potential funding delays or slow starts, delaying revenue.

Firm fixed price (Manta, Tria) and Time & Materials (Maximus, Amentum) expose to cost overruns or labor scrutiny amid long tenors to 2029.

Small/8(a) set-asides lock in current winners but limit scalability for non-small firms like Maximus/Tria.

$583M in combined unexercised options across contracts could double obligated value if activated.

GSA's preference for small/8(a)/ANC firms in engineering services positions winners for follow-ons.

58% of value in GSA NAICS 541330 awards to small/8(a) firms via set-asides, with zero outlays signaling ramp potential.

Maximus (67% outlayed) and Tria provide defensive exposure to healthcare/veterans services amid steady obligations.
