Who won similar work
5 award notices on SAM.gov in the last 24 months. Matched by: Same office (NAVAL AIR SYSTEMS COMMAND), same product/service code (PSC) 5841.
Single-winner award sizes (5): middle half $11.5M to $58.1M, median $30.0M; range $9.1M to $121.4M.
| Winner | Awards | Value | Last |

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. Revenue next to a ticker is the company's revenue over the latest 12 months in its SEC filings.
- $NOC reported $42.9B revenue (12 months to Jun 30, 2026). The median single-winner award in these 5 past awards, $30.0M, 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.
