New Federal Contractors — December 27, 2025

New Federal Contractors

7 total filings analysed

Executive Summary

New federal contracts totaling $3.08B signal strong bullish momentum for government services contractors, with 77% concentrated in VA medical disability exams awarded to Loyal Source ($1.77B across 4 FY26 delivery orders) and 40% in DoS facilities support to PAE ($1.25B across 2 long-term deals). These reflect multi-year commitments in veteran healthcare and diplomatic support, though future award dates (2026) for VA work delay revenue. Institutional investors should prioritize Loyal Source and PAE parents (Amentum, Jacobs) for revenue visibility through 2026-2029.

    Subawards in PAE deals ($27.5M total) and unspecified competition for Loyal Source introduce performance dependencies and renewal risks post-2026.

  • Long-term DoS facilities stability through 2026 positions PAE parents for diplomatic support tailwinds.

Sector Themes(3)
