What the notice says

The Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) intends to utilize simplified acquisition procedures to award a sole source, firm-fixed-price contract to Trusted Systems, Inc. for the procurement of five GSA Class 5 Information Processing System containers, and associated hardware. Deliveries are currently expected to complete 120 days after award of the contract. This pre-solicitation synopsis notice covers requirements that NAVSEA intends to procure on a sole-source basis with Trusted Systems, Inc. The CEC program provides a sensor network with Integrated Fire Control capability that significantly im… (show all)

proves strike force air and missile defense capabilities by coordinating measurement data from strike force air search sensors on CEC-equipped units into a single, integrated real-time, composite track air picture. The CEC sensor netting system improves the Area Air Defense capabilities of Naval Carrier Strike Groups and Expeditionary Strike Groups by extracting and distributing sensor-derived information such that the superset of this data is available to all participating CEC Cooperating Units. CEC fuses the distributed data into a single fire control quality air track picture that significantly improves unit track precision, consistency and continuity; expands detection range; and improves reaction time. CEC also improves strike force effectiveness by improving overall Situational Awareness and by enabling longer range, cooperative, multiple, or layered engagement strategies. Disclaimer: The proposed contract action is for supplies and services for which the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under authority of FAR subpart 13.101(b).

A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. This pre-solicitation notice is for information only and shall not be construed as a commitment by the Government to solicit contractual offers or award contracts. The Government is not soliciting, nor will it accept, proposals as a result of this synopsis. If a competitive solicitation is issued in the future, it will be announced via beta.sam.gov, and interested parties must comply with that announcement. The Government will not reimburse respondents for any questions submitted or information provided as a result of this notice. This is not a solicitation or a promise to issue a solicitation, and this information is subject to modification and in no way binds the Government to award a contract.

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.
