Value counts new single-winner awards. "Shared" awards are multiple-award contracts that list every winner with the same total ceiling (same contract, or the same office, day and amount); that ceiling is not one company's win, so it is not added in. Contract modifications are not new awards and are not added in either (3 here). Notices whose amount is a placeholder such as $999,999,999 are not added in. Revenue next to a ticker is the company's revenue over the latest 12 months in its SEC filings.

Latest awards
Oct 30, 2026Raytheon Company$6.3BSM-3 IB AUR Multi-year ContractMateriality: 6.6% of $RTX revenue (High)How big this award is next to the company's revenue over the last 12 months: Low under 1%, Medium 1-5%, High 5% or more.
