That sounds a bit strange, I would count any business with more than employees to be "medium" and 1000 to be large. Think of coffee shops: 1500 people allows you to have a network across multiple cities.
But w.r.t. the amounts of money, they spent $57MM over 15 years, so it's $4MM/y using very rough math.
Upd: https://www.sba.gov/sites/default/files/files/Size_Standards_Table.pdf https://www.sba.gov/sites/default/files/files/Size_Standards... says on p. 29 that it's less than $27.5MM or 1000 people, so you are right, it's quite a high bar.
Upd2: EU caps small businesses at 50 people and medium at 250, which sounds much more reasonable to me https://www.ucl.ac.uk/procurement/suppliers/smes#:~:text=Definition,not%20more%20than%2050%20employees https://www.ucl.ac.uk/procurement/suppliers/smes#:~:text=Def....
