What the notice says
Notice of Intent to Award a Sole Source Contract The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) hereby provides a notice of intent to award a sole source, firm-fixed-price purchase order to SINTEF Ocean AS. Product/Service: The requirement is for the payment of annual software maintenance service fees for two (2) seat licenses of VERES (VEssel RESponse) and ShipX Workbench. This program is a strip theory, frequency domain program used for the simulation of vessel motions and global loads. Authority: This sole source contracting action is in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-1(b)(1),… (show all)
which allows for soliciting from a single source when the contracting officer determines that the circumstances of the contract action deem only one source reasonably available. Justification: It is the belief of the government that SINTEF Ocean AS is the only source capable of fulfilling this requirement. VERES is a unique program that combines linear seakeeping analysis, structural loading, and slamming. The software has been in use by the USCG for over a decade, and the agency maintains multiple built-in models of its ships and boats. Market research indicates that no other commercially available software offers the combined capabilities of structural loading analysis, davit motion analysis, crane acceleration evaluation, and comprehensive seakeeping simulations in a single package. The full justification is attached to this notice. Vendor: SINTEF Ocean AS Address: Postboks 4762 Torgard NO-7465 Trondheim, NORWAY UEI: FQP1MFLHNWC3 NAICS Code: 519290 (All Other Information Services) Total Estimated Value: $35,000.00 This notice constitutes a synopsis of the requirement. Responses to this notice must demonstrate clear and convincing evidence that competition would be advantageous to the Government, would not be cost or time prohibitive, and would not hinder the mission objectives of the USCG. The determination not to compete this proposed contract action is solely within the discretion of the Government. Information received will be considered for the purposes of determining whether to conduct a competitive solicitation for future requirements. The Government will not be responsible for any costs incurred by responding to this notice. This is NOT a request for quotes or proposals. Point of Contact: Questions or comments regarding this Notice of Intent should be directed via e-mail only to the Contracting Officer, Joshua Richardson, at Joshua.C.Richardson2@uscg.mil. No phone calls will be accepted.

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.
- $RTX reported $68.9B revenue in FY2025. The median single-winner award in these 15 past awards, $135K, is under 0.1% of that. 10-K
- $HON reported $33.0B revenue in FY2025. The median single-winner award in these 15 past awards, $135K, is under 0.1% of that. 10-K
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.
