Full Analysis

The contract award is a $50.9M delivery order to Whiting-Turner Contracting Company, a private construction contractor, for design-build construction services to complete the Sitka Waterfront Improvements at US Coast Guard Station Sitka, AK. The period of performance is from August 2025 to July 2028. The awarding agency is the Department of Homeland Security through the U.S. Coast Guard. Since Whiting-Turner is a private entity, there is no direct publicly traded parent company or subsidiary to map this contract to. Therefore, no tickers are associated with this award. The contract does not have a clear connection to any of the related legislative bills listed, as none of them specifically authorize or fund this type of Coast Guard construction project. Supply chain beneficiaries are not identifiable without further information, and the contract is a routine infrastructure project within the federal government's capital improvement program. Historically, similar federal construction contracts are awarded to private and public firms alike, but without a public company involved, the stock market impact is negligible.
