What the notice says

INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION OR REQUEST FOR OFFERS. NO SOLICITATION PACKAGE IS AVAILABLE NOR WILL TELEPHONE REQUESTS BE HONORED. NO SOLICITATION WILL BE POSTED TO CONTRACT OPPORTUNITIES. PROCUREMENT TITLE: Temporary Boiler Rental and Maintenance INTENT TO AWARD: The Department of Veterans Affairs (NCO 19), 6162 S. Willow Drive, Greenwood Village, CO 80111, intends to award one (1) Procurement on a Sole Source basis, to Ivan Ware & Son, LLC dba Ware, for temporary boiler rental and maintenance. BACKGROUND AND DESCRIPTION: This procurement is for the continued rental of two W… (show all)

are mobile boilers, to include maintenance, services, inspection, and testing per Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Boiler Efficiency Institute (BEI), and Veterans Affairs (VA) standards, as well as the rental of one control room trailer. These mobile boilers and control room will continue to serve as the temporary boiler plant for the duration of the construction and commissioning of the permanent boiler plant. Ware mobile boilers are currently on site and functional, and to remove them would endanger the Facility s ability to provide steam to the Main Hospital. Steam is required to maintain operational status of the hospital functions including surgeries, sterilization, cooking, and heating. The current VA boilers are 11 years past their operational life space and are in the process of being replaced. Temporary boilers are the only means to maintain hospital operations during this boiler plant construction project. The mobile boilers fill a Veteran s Health Administration (VHA) requirement to maintain N+1 on boiler capacity to reduce the risk of ever being without steam. There is no way to maintain steam production with the current plant during the boiler plant construction project. These mobile boilers and control trailer are needed until the completion and commissioning of the newly constructed permanent boiler plant.

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
  • $JCI reported $24.4B revenue (12 months to Mar 31, 2026). The median single-winner award in these 3 past awards, $733K, 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.

Latest awards

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.
