Award
Not yet. Typical award: Sep 8, 2024 to Jun 25, 2025, middle of the range Dec 15, 2024.
Measured from 77 past early notices at Dept of the Navy with NAICS 336413 that later posted an award (middle half of cases, counted from Apr 8, 2024).
Responses are due Aug 28, 2026, so an award before then is unlikely; past cases include short solicitations.

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
  • $NOC reported $42.9B revenue (12 months to Jun 30, 2026). The median single-winner award in these 4 past awards, $26.4M, is under 0.1% of that. SEC filing
  • $BA reported $94.0B revenue (12 months to Jun 30, 2026). The median single-winner award in these 4 past awards, $26.4M, is under 0.1% of that. SEC filing
  • $PH reported $21.5B revenue (fiscal year ending Jun 30, 2026). The median single-winner award in these 4 past awards, $26.4M, is 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.

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.
