What the notice says
A single-source contract was awarded to Halliday Technologies for their RT3 Continuous Friction Measuring Equipment due to an urgent and compelling need to ensure flight safety during runway construction at Barksdale Air Force Base. This non-competitive award was made because Halliday Technologies was the sole respondent to a Request for Information, and their system was the only one to meet the stringent technical specifications of AFMAN 13-204v2, TO 33-1-23, and FAA Advisory Circular 150/5320-12, which were necessary to prevent unacceptable mission risks.

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.
- $ITW reported $16.1B revenue in FY2025. The median single-winner award in these 14 past awards, $68K, is under 0.1% of that. 10-K
