What the notice says
The contract action was not awarded competitively. The rationale is due to the use of restrictive proprietary equipment in the requirements such as Fireye services does not provide for full and open competition regardless of the number of sources solicited. A specific Fireye Burner Control service produced by Fireye is required as opposed to allowing free and open competition since their control systems are proprietary and compatibility with other systems may be costly to integrate other services.

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.
