We have not read this award's detail record yet (followed awards are read first, daily). Its options and competition data are on the USAspending record meanwhile.
No change observed since we first read this award's record (not read yet). Follow it to get an email when the end date, options or funding change.
Data-derived, not endorsements. Derived from public award data: companies that won related awards from the same buyer. Not an endorsement, not a ranking of quality, and not a statement that any company is available or interested.
Rule: awards from Department of the Air Force in the last 5 years with the same product/service code family (AC3) or NAICS group (5417), space work by the same rule as the radar, to anyone but the incumbent. Ordered by number of related awards, then obligated value. Coverage is the same as the radar's: full history for the companies we track, the last 120 days for everyone else, so a small business with older related awards can be missing.
