This Draft RFP #3 (W519TC-26-R-A046) officially supersedes and replaces all previous pre-solicitation releases and draft notices associated with this RFAAP effort, specifically those referencing: W519TC-24-R-ROMM, W519TC-25-R-0045, W519TC-26-R-0003.

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.

Investor context
  • $LDOS reported $15.3B revenue in FY2025. The median single-winner award in these 13 past awards, $347K, 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.
