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
  • $LDOS reported $15.3B revenue in FY2025. The median single-winner award in these 3 past awards, $6.8M, is under 0.1% of that. 10-K
  • $ABT reported $40.1B revenue in FY2025. The median single-winner award in these 3 past awards, $6.8M, 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.

Sources: SAM.gov notices and award notices; Senate LDA lobbying filings; FEC filings; FARA; Federal Register; congress.gov; SEC Form 4. Every row above links to its record.

Companies are matched to tickers by exact name only. A company we could not match shows no market rows; that is a miss, not a finding.
