What the notice says

This acquisition will allow BARDA to invest Project BioShield funds for the advanced development, US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) licensure, procurement, shipping, and vendor managed inventory (VMI) storage of MARV monovalent vaccine. This contract was awarded on a hybrid cost reiumbursement/fixed price basis as circumstances do not allow the agency to define its requirements sufficiently to allow for a fixed-price type contract.

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
  • $VCEL reported $197.5M revenue in FY2025. The median single-winner award in these 8 past awards, $142.9M, is 72% of that. 10-K

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

Latest awards

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.

Companies are matched to tickers by exact name only. A company we could not match shows no market rows; that is a miss, not a finding.
