What the notice says

Information Requested: The U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Aviation and Missile Center (DEVCOM AvMC), Redstone Arsenal, AL is conducting market research to identify domestic products, suppliers, designers and manufacturers of advanced protection architectures, systems, components, and other technologies for packaged microelectronics intended for deployment into current and future military systems of interest to the Department of Defense (DoD). This RFI is seeking information from suitable vendors/vendor teams related to the following Technology Areas: 1. Board-level Security:… (show all)

Capabilities spanning microelectronic components and portable soft IP integrated with commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) devices across modular open systems architectures (MOSA) form factor systems (e.g., 3U/6U OpenVPX/SOSA, 3U/6U SpaceVPX, VNX, and smaller). 2. Package Security: Specialized microelectronics packaging configurations or designs for multi-chip modules (MCMs) or systems-in-package (SIPs) which utilize COTS or bespoke security components that are intended to provide additional security to underlying components. 3. Enhanced Secure Boot: Portable soft IP that can be used in conjunction with COTS microelectronic components to provide additional security for enhanced secure boot applications. 4. Secure Components: Purpose-designed microelectronic components (chiplets, ASICs, etc.) that are intended to provide enhanced trust/security for co-packaged microelectronic components. 5. Multi-chip Packaging: Advanced microelectronics packaging techniques that inherently provide additional component security or could be easily adapted to provide additional microelectronic component security. 6. Emerging Technologies: Novel techniques, materials, and processes that are compatible with modern microelectronic manufacturing/packaging methods that can provide additional security to packaged microelectronic components. 7. Other: Technologies, methods, and processes not mentioned above that are compatible with modern microelectronics design, manufacturing, and packaging techniques and able to provide enhanced security to packaged microelectronic components. For additional details refer to the Attachment, R2.0_SS_RFI_SUBMISSION_v1.2.

Value counts new single-winner awards. "Shared" awards are multiple-award contracts that list every winner with the same total ceiling (same contract, or the same office, day and amount); that ceiling is not one company's win, so it is not added in. Contract modifications are not new awards and are not added in either. Revenue next to a ticker is the company's revenue over the latest 12 months in its SEC filings.

Investor context
  • $DRS reported $3.8B revenue (12 months to Jun 30, 2026). The median single-winner award in these 32 past awards, $6.6M, is 0.2% of that. SEC filing
  • $LMT reported $77.0B revenue (12 months to Jun 28, 2026). The median single-winner award in these 32 past awards, $6.6M, 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.

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.

Market

For past winners matched exactly to a listed company. Insider trades are open-market buys and sells (Form 4) in the last 90 days, shown as facts; our own study found insiders do not reliably buy ahead of awards. A sale marked 10b5-1 was made under a trading plan set up in advance.

  • 2 of the past winners are listed companies
  • 0 insider buys and 4 insider sells at them in the last 90 days

Companies are matched to tickers by exact name, including the subsidiaries a company lists in its SEC filings. A company we could not match shows no market rows; that is a miss, not a finding.
