Who won similar work
4 award notices on SAM.gov in the last 24 months. Matched by: Same office (NETWORK CONTRACT OFFICE 23 (36C263)), same product/service code (PSC) J041 and NAICS 811310.
Single-winner award sizes (4): middle half $27K to $69K, median $37K; range $6K to $157K.
| Winner | Awards | Value | Last |
|---|---|---|---|
| DAKOTA REFRIGERATION, INC | 1 | $157K | Aug 12, 2025 |
| BOILER EFFICIENCY INSTITUTE, LLC | 1 | $40K | Jul 14, 2025 |

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.
- $JCI reported $24.4B revenue (12 months to Mar 31, 2026). The median single-winner award in these 4 past awards, $37K, 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.
