Award
Not yet. Typical award: Aug 7, 2026 to Oct 31, 2026, middle of the range Sep 5, 2026.
Measured from 55 past early notices at Defense Logistics Agency with NAICS 334511 that later posted an award (middle half of cases, counted from May 19, 2026).
Responses are due Aug 12, 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
  • $LHX reported $19.4B revenue in FY2025. The median single-winner award in these 852 past awards, $61K, 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.

Latest awards

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.
