Not yet. Typical award: Aug 31, 2026 to Dec 1, 2026, middle of the range Sep 18, 2026.
Measured from 36 past early notices at Us Coast Guard that later posted an award (middle half of cases, counted from Aug 20, 2026).
Responses are due Sep 3, 2026, so an award before then is unlikely; past cases include short solicitations.

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.

Investor context
  • $LMT reported $67.6B revenue in FY2025. The median single-winner award in these 91 past awards, $41K, is under 0.1% of that. 10-K

One award's total value against one year of revenue; many awards are paid over several years.
