These technicians possess exclusive access to OEM parts, technical documentation, software updates, calibration tools, and engineering support necessary to properly maintain and repair the equipment. Only these authorized representatives are qualified to perform required maintenance while preserving the binding manufacturer warranty. Given: The proprietary nature of the equipment The OEM s exclusive servicing structure The requirement to preserve manufacturer warranties The regulatory compliance obligations The critical role of the equipment to patient care and safety The Contracting Officer (CO) has determined that no other vendor can meet the agency s needs without unacceptable risk. Therefore, the most suitable and responsible course of action is to sole source this requirement to Sun Nuclear, the OEM and manufacturer, to ensure continued warranty protection, regulatory compliance, operational reliability, and the highest standard of patient health and safety.

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
  • $BDX reported $19.4B revenue in FY2025. The median single-winner award in these 19 past awards, $579K, is under 0.1% of that. 10-K

One award's total value against one year of revenue; many awards are paid over several years.
