Award
Not yet. Typical award: May 13, 2026 to Jul 8, 2026, middle of the range Jun 5, 2026.
Measured from 691 past solicitations at Dept of the Air Force that later posted an award (middle half of cases, counted from Apr 14, 2026).
Responses are due May 15, 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
  • $ITW reported $16.5B revenue (12 months to Jun 30, 2026). The median single-winner award in these 44 past awards, $134K, is under 0.1% of that. SEC filing

One award's total value against one year of revenue; many awards are paid over several years.
