Who won similar work
3 award notices on SAM.gov in the last 24 months. Matched by: Same office (NAVSUP WEAPON SYSTEMS SUPPORT), same product/service code (PSC) 1710.
Single-winner award sizes (3): middle half $1.1M to $1.9M, median $1.7M; range $461K to $2.1M.
| Winner | Awards | Value | Last |
|---|---|---|---|
| THE ENTWISTLE COMPANY | 1 | $2.1M | Sep 23, 2025 |
| NORTHROP GRUMMAN SYSTEMS CORPORATION · $NOC · $42.9B | 1 | $1.7M | Sep 29, 2026 |
| THE BOEING COMPANY · $BA · $94.0B | 1 | $461K | Jun 12, 2026 |
Value counts new single-winner awards. "Shared" awards are multiple-award contracts that list every winner with the same total ceiling (same contract, or the same office, day and amount); that ceiling is not one company's win, so it is not added in. Contract modifications are not new awards and are not added in either. Revenue next to a ticker is the company's revenue over the latest 12 months in its SEC filings.
- $NOC reported $42.9B revenue (12 months to Jun 30, 2026). The median single-winner award in these 3 past awards, $1.7M, is under 0.1% of that. SEC filing
- $BA reported $94.0B revenue (12 months to Jun 30, 2026). The median single-winner award in these 3 past awards, $1.7M, 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.

- Jun 12, 2026THE BOEING COMPANY$461K17--TRUNION STRUT,LANDIMateriality: <0.01% of $BA revenue (Low) SEC
- Sep 23, 2025THE ENTWISTLE COMPANY$2.1M17--PANEL,SUB ASSEMBLY,No listed company matched (Materiality N/A)
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.
