Who won similar work
6 award notices on SAM.gov in the last 24 months. Matched by: Same office (DLA AVIATION AT PHILADELPHIA, PA), same product/service code (PSC) 5999.
Single-winner award sizes (6): middle half $945K to $3.5M, median $2.4M; range $649K to $3.6M.
| Winner | Awards | Value | Last |
|---|---|---|---|
| MERCURY MISSION SYSTEMS LLC | 3 | $10.5M | May 11, 2026 |
| TELEPHONICS CORP | 1 | $1.4M | Jul 31, 2026 |

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.
- $LMT reported $77.0B revenue (12 months to Jun 28, 2026). The median single-winner award in these 6 past awards, $2.4M, is under 0.1% of that. SEC filing
- $AIR reported $3.5B revenue (12 months to Aug 31, 2026). The median single-winner award in these 6 past awards, $2.4M, 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.

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.
