The Department of Defense's NAICS 238990 (All Other Specialty Trade Contractors) market: incumbents, spending trend, set-asides and open solicitations — from FY2026 USAspending awards and live SAM.gov notices.
Contract data as of Oct 18, 2026 (USAspending) · recent coverage verified weekly
| Quarter | Awards | Obligated | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Q1 FY2026 | 77 | $64.0M | — |
| Q2 FY2026 | 110 | $75.3M | +18% |
| Q3 FY2026 | 57 | $4.8M | -94% |
| Q4 FY2026 · partial | 24 | $8.4M | +75% |
Federal fiscal quarters (Q1 = Oct–Dec). Awards are counted in the quarter they start; obligations are the award's obligated amount. The Department of Defense publishes contract awards to USAspending with a 90-day delay, so Q4 FY2026 is still missing most DoD awards — treat that quarter as incomplete, not as a spending decline.
| # | Contractor | Obligated | Share |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | MISCELLANEOUS FOREIGN AWARDEES | $35.7M | 23.4% |
| 2 | COLT BUILDERS AND WEIL CONSTRUCTION JOINT VENTURE L.L.C. | $24.0M | 15.7% |
| 3 | ENVIRONMENTAL CHEMICAL CORPORATION | $16.5M | 10.8% |
| 4 | SEDONA-NASCO JV2, LLC | $16.4M | 10.8% |
| 5 | PEARLSON SHIPLIFT CORPORATION | $14.6M | 9.6% |
Registrations are rolled up to their corporate parent (USAspending parent UEI), so a company with several SAM registrations ranks once.
| Set-aside type | Obligated | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Small business set-aside | $6.5M | 7.4% |
| 8(a) | $2.5M | 2.9% |
| SDVOSB | $2.2M | 2.6% |

Share of obligations on awards whose set-aside type is recorded — 58% of this market's dollars. Most USAspending bulk-archive records leave the field blank, so blank awards are excluded rather than counted as full & open.
