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. Notices whose amount is a placeholder such as $999,999,999 are not added in. Revenue next to a ticker is the company's revenue over the latest 12 months in its SEC filings.
- $HEI reported $5.2B revenue (12 months to Jul 31, 2026). The median single-winner award in these 1490 past awards, $64K, 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.
