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.
- Sep 24, 2026HAMILTON SUNDSTRAND CORPORATION$824KKC-130 and E-2 NP2000 Assorted PSEMateriality: <0.01% of $RTX revenue (Low) SEC
- Sep 11, 2026DERCO AEROSPACE, INC.$1.3MKC-130J Various Peculiar Support EquipmentNo listed company matched (Materiality N/A)
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.
