s to measure in-process manufacturing and completed parts utilizing specialized interferometers called Faro Laser Tracker equipment. NFPC has fifteen (15) Faro Laser Trackers, one (1) Laser Tracker Probe, two (2) Arms, and two (2) Arm Scanners that require annual cleaning, calibration (ACC) and B89 certification to meet the requirements of the Navy�s METCAL program. NFPC currently owns equipment produced by Faro Technologies which are vital to the production of components utilized by the Navy to meet critical deadlines for the production and repair of the Navy�s propels. Every year, the trackers, arms, scanners, and probe need to be recertified by the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) to meet the requirements of the Navy�s METCAL program. The re-certification by the OEM shall inspect, clean, calibrate, and provide necessary repairs to meet the B-89 certification. Since Faro Technologies is the OEM for this equipment and has exclusive rights, there is no other 3rd party vendor that can provide these required services. Faro confirmed on October 30, 2024, in a letter, that they do not allow any 3rd party vendors to provide these services. Failure to procure these services by Faro shall make these lasers unusable, because the Government is required to have the lasers re-certified for use.

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.
- $AME reported $7.9B revenue (12 months to Jun 30, 2026). The median single-winner award in these 28 past awards, $90K, 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.
