Army Awards Enlighten IT Consulting $42 Million Cyber Analytics Contract
The U.S. Army awarded Columbia-based Enlighten IT Consulting a $42 million contract for cyber analytics and detection, providing a market signal for federal demand in the region. Current, not-yet-final FY 2026 data show Howard County accounts for 49.5% of Maryland’s obligated federal cybersecurity awards; no open solicitation is identified, so this is market intelligence rather than an active bid opportunity.
