In addition, MSHA mine inspectors need to carry a significant amount of equipment, often weighing as much as 45 pounds or more. Smaller and lighter equipment lessens the total weight that MSHA mine inspectors need to carry which translates to increased safety.

Value counts single-winner awards. "Shared" awards are multiple-award contracts that list every winner with the same total ceiling; that ceiling is not one company's win, so it is not added in. Revenue next to a ticker is the company's last annual revenue from its 10-K.
