SCOUT Analysis — DoD Market Intelligence
DoD obligated $344.2B across 293,162 contracts in the trailing 12 months (Apr 2025–Mar 2026, ≥$100K floor) — by far the largest single federal buyer, accounting for roughly 56% of all tracked federal contract obligations.
Lockheed Martin leads at $44.2B across 5,945 awards; Boeing's combined entities total ~$17.4B — concentration at the top has decreased as mid-tier suppliers capture growing share of task order activity.
IT modernization, cyber, and C2 systems remain high-growth pockets with rapidly increasing task order activity on OASIS+ and Alliant 3.
Recompete pipeline is dense — dozens of multi-year task orders are entering their base-period final year across defense logistics and SETA.
