Revenue vs. Awards Gap (HARBOR estimate, not company-confirmed)
The $16.5M revenue figure is a HARBOR estimate inferred from public award data and headcount, with a roughly +/-30% confidence interval. The $55.3M in 2025 federal awards likely reflects three concurrent mechanisms: pass-through subcontracting on "Team LOGC2" ITES-3S bids (Leidos, Array, Onyx, MetroStar carry significant scope), multi-year task order ceilings booked at award rather than annualized, and Canopy Health JV revenue that flows through the JV entity rather than LOGC2 directly. The true realized revenue is plausibly in the $12M-$22M range. The GSA Schedule likely generates direct product revenue with better margins.
