What the notice says
Battelle is contemplating the procurement of a portable X-band phased array radar (PAR) to support the ARM user facility in storm tracking and uncrewed aerial system (UAS) operations. This radar must be easily re-deployable because it will be moved periodically among ARM observatory locations. Set-up time should be on the order of or less than a day to accommodate flexible siting requirements per the attached technical specification.

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.
