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.

Investor context
  • $NOC reported $42.9B revenue (12 months to Jun 30, 2026). The median single-winner award in these 15 past awards, $2.8M, is under 0.1% of that. SEC filing

  • $LMT reported $77.0B revenue (12 months to Jun 28, 2026). The median single-winner award in these 15 past awards, $2.8M, is under 0.1% of that. SEC filing
