- $T reported $122.4B revenue in FY2025. The median single-winner award in these 35 past awards, $79K, is under 0.1% of that. 10-K
- $VZ reported $134.0B revenue in FY2025. The median single-winner award in these 35 past awards, $79K, is under 0.1% of that. 10-K

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.
