What the notice says

THIS NOTICE IS PROVIDED FOR INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY The proposed contract action is for services for which the Naval Air Warfare Center Aircraft Division (NAWCAD) intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the statutory authority of 10 U.S.C. 3204(a)(1), as implemented by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 6.302-1, only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements. This acquisition provides for the software modifications to the Raytheon Digital Control Panel (DCP) in support of the DoN�s fleet of F-5 Adversary aircraft. NAWCAD… (show all)

intends to award a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) sole source contract to Raytheon Technologies Corporation (RTX) for twelve (12) months (19 June 2025 � 18 June 2026). At this time, RTX is the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), the sole designer, developer, and manufacturer with the requisite knowledge, technical capability, and technical data necessary for the manufacture and delivery of the DCP software. RTX is also the intellectual property holder of the software. Any attempt to use a source other than the OEM would result in substantial duplication of cost to the Government for the redevelopment/reverse engineering and testing aspects of the new interfacing and existing software system that would not be recoverable through competition. This effort requires the editing of approximately 1,275 Software Lines of Code (SLOCs) and development of a different transponder would increase coding requirements and development costs. The applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code is 334511, size standard 1,350 Employees. The Product Service Code (PSC) is 1680, Miscellaneous Aircraft Accessories and Components. The determination to not compete this requirement is solely within the discretion of the Government and the Government is not considering responses to this notice. Although this notice of intent is not a request for competitive proposal or quotes, interested parties may submit capability statements in writing to the Contract Specialist, Ms. Kristin Nelson, Kristin.a.nelson13.civ@us.navy.mil, and Ms. Catrina Farrell, catrina.m.farrell.civ@us.navy.mil, no later than 11:00AM EST on March 31, 2025. This notice is for informational purposes only.?The information provided herein is subject to change and in no way binds the Government.

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
  • $GE reported $50.6B revenue (12 months to Jun 30, 2026). The median single-winner award in these 5 past awards, $2.6M, is under 0.1% of that. SEC filing
  • $RTX reported $93.5B revenue (12 months to Jun 30, 2026). The median single-winner award in these 5 past awards, $2.6M, is under 0.1% of that. SEC filing
  • $BA reported $94.0B revenue (12 months to Jun 30, 2026). The median single-winner award in these 5 past awards, $2.6M, 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.

Latest awards

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.
