Who won similar work
4 award notices on SAM.gov in the last 24 months. Matched by: Same office (DLA LAND AND MARITIME), same product/service code (PSC) 5960 and NAICS 334419.
Single-winner award sizes (4): middle half $3.6M to $4.8M, median $4.5M; range $1.7M to $4.9M.
| Winner | Awards | Value | Last |
|---|---|---|---|
| Microwave Power Products Palo Alto CA 94304 USA | 2 | $9.6M | Sep 30, 2025 |
| ECI DEFENSE GROUP, INC. | 1 | $4.2M | Jul 28, 2025 |
| Microwave Power Products, Inc. · $TDG · $10.0B | 1 | $1.7M | Apr 22, 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.
- $TDG reported $10.0B revenue (12 months to Jun 27, 2026). The median single-winner award in these 4 past awards, $4.5M, 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.
