What the notice says

U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Communications Branch intends to award a firm fixed price sole source under the authority of FAR subpart 13.106-1(b)(1)(i) and (ii), for purchases not exceeding the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (SAT), Contracting Officers may solicit from only one source if the circumstances deem only one source is reasonably available (e.g., urgency, exclusive licensing agreements, brand name, or industrial mobilization).: Biomark, LLC… (show all)
. 705 S 8TH ST Boise, Idaho 83702-7112, United States The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this requirement is 334511, Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing. Service Code (PSC) for this requirement is 7G22, Machine Predictions for Product Service Codes. The object of this sole source award is to require the purchase of Biomark PIT Tags. Biomark, Inc. is the only vendor capable of providing PIT tag interrogation equipment that is compatible with the existing hardware, software, and CPTE approved PIT tags used in the Columbia River Basin. Due to required interoperability, proprietary software systems, and the need for uninterrupted monitoring operations, a competitive procurement is not feasible. A sole source award to Biomark is justified and necessary to ensure continuity of operations and compliance with Basin wide PIT tag standards. This synopsis does not constitute a solicitation; however, if any interested party believes they can meet the above requirement, it may submit a statement of capabilities. The statement of capabilities must be submitted in writing and must contain clear and convincing evidence that competition of this requirement would be advantageous to the Government. If parties choose to respond, any cost associated with preparation and submission of data or any other cost incurred in response to this announcement are the sole responsibility of the respondent and will not be reimbursed by the Government. Capability statements shall be submitted by e-mail ONLY as a Microsoft Word or Adobe PDF attachment to the following address: carter_duke@ios.doi.gov. NO TELEPHONE REQUESTS/OFFERS WILL BE HONORED

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.
- $MRK reported $60.1B revenue in FY2025. The median single-winner award in these 7 past awards, $45K, is under 0.1% of that. 10-K
- $TRMB reported $3.8B revenue in FY2025. The median single-winner award in these 7 past awards, $45K, 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.

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.
