Who won similar work
3 award notices on SAM.gov in the last 24 months. Matched by: Same office (NAVAL AIR WARFARE CENTER), same product/service code (PSC) 5840.
Single-winner award sizes (3): middle half $468K to $653K, median $489K; range $447K to $817K.
| Winner | Awards | Value | Last |
|---|---|---|---|
| THINKOM SOLUTIONS, INC. | 1 | $817K | Aug 5, 2026 |
| LEIDOS, INC. · $LDOS · $17.6B | 1 | $489K | Sep 11, 2025 |
| ADVANCED COOLING TECHNOLOGIES INC | 1 | $447K | Jan 27, 2025 |
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.
- $LDOS reported $17.6B revenue (12 months to Jul 3, 2026). The median single-winner award in these 3 past awards, $489K, is under 0.1% of that. SEC filing
One award's total value against one year of revenue; many awards are paid over several years.

Materiality: one award's value as a share of the winner's revenue over the latest 12 months in its SEC filings (or its last fiscal year, as noted when you point at it). Low under 1%, Medium 1 to 5%, High 5% or more. Many awards are paid over several years, so this overstates a single year's share.
