Who won similar work
3 award notices on SAM.gov in the last 24 months. Matched by: Same agency (Commerce (all)), same product/service code (PSC) DA01.
Single-winner award sizes (3): middle half $875K to $25.0M, median $1.1M; range $687K to $49.0M.
| Winner | Awards | Value | Last |
|---|---|---|---|
| THE TOMORROW COMPANIES INC. | 1 | $49.0M | Aug 24, 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. Notices whose amount is a placeholder such as $999,999,999 are not added in. Revenue next to a ticker is the company's revenue over the latest 12 months in its SEC filings.
- $CACI reported $9.6B revenue (fiscal year ending Jun 30, 2026). The median single-winner award in these 3 past awards, $1.1M, 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.
