What the notice says
It is the Government�s intent to restrict competition.

The equipment is required to monitor and collect stormwater from road test sections and must… (show all)
integrate with existing flow-monitoring and sampling equipment without requiring new information technology, data management systems, or replacement of existing components. The proposed contractor is: Accutech Instrumentation 3885 St. John�s Parkway Sanford, FL 32771 UEI: X8S1PNU9RFL3 All responsible sources may submit a quotation or capability statement demonstrating their ability to meet the Government�s minimum requirements.

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.
- $A reported $6.8B revenue in FY2025. The median single-winner award in these 8 past awards, $57K, 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.
