What the notice says
The Government requires a breathing air compressor system for use by fire department emergency responders. The system must be NFPA 1901 and 1989 (current edition) compliant and include: an all-in-one unit with 6,000 PSI storage capacity and 15-25 horsepower; three SCBA fill stations accommodating cylinders up to 31" overall length; a 100-foot high-pressure cabinetenclosed hose reel; a sound-attenuating enclosure with slam-action latches; an automatic condensate drain system with a noncorrosive reservoir, integrated float sensor, and automatic "Full" indication with compressor shutdown; and saf… (show all)
ety alarms with an emergency stop button. Due to an existing breathing air system currently under service contract FA449725C0008, the Bauer brand is required due to unit integration. Procuring a different brand would be incompatible with the existing service infrastructure, would void the current service contract, and could compromise the safety and operational continuity of life-safety equipment used by emergency responders. Substitution of a different brand would result in increased costs, loss of warranty coverage, and potential non-compliance with NFPA standards as configured.

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.
- $AMTM reported $14.1B revenue (12 months to Jul 3, 2026). The median single-winner award in these 17 past awards, $77K, 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.
