Proposal Submission Offerors may propose for one, more than one, or all four requirements/facilities. Offerors submitting proposals for multiple facilities shall provide separately identifiable proposal content for each facility.

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.
