Executive Summary
These six civilian contracts total $1,188,107,721 in obligations with zero defense exposure, spanning Department of State, DHS (two awards), NSF, and HHS (two awards) from April 30, 2026 data. Dominant themes include large-scale construction (State embassy), IT services (NSF), health R&D and waste management (HHS), and DHS border security sustainment via UAS and inspection equipment maintenance. Highest-conviction bullish signals emerge from Caddell Construction's $328.5M firm-fixed-price embassy build in Cape Verde and Booz Allen Hamilton's $254.5M NSF IT delivery order with $179.6M outlays already recognized. Key risk is high execution/pricing risk on firm-fixed-price awards like Caddell's and Rapiscan's, coupled with low initial outlays on several contracts (e.g., Caddell's $0 outlay).
