Who won similar work
4 award notices on SAM.gov in the last 24 months. Matched by: Same office (FA2263 AFLCMC ROMK AFMETCAL), same product/service code (PSC) 6685.
Single-winner award sizes (4): middle half $979K to $3.1M, median $1.9M; range $163K to $4.9M.
| Winner | Awards | Value | Last |
|---|---|---|---|
| MENSOR, LP. San Marcos TX 78666 USA | 1 | $4.9M | Sep 9, 2025 |
| JS WILLEY LLC | 1 | $2.5M | Aug 31, 2026 |

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.
- $TDG reported $6.6B revenue in FY2025. The median single-winner award in these 4 past awards, $1.9M, is under 0.1% of that. 10-K
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.
