Read the attached Kronos FoS CSO 2.0 for further information. The Government is providing the following notional schedule solely for planning purposes. This schedule is intended to provide industry with visibility into the anticipated sequencing of calls for Areas of Interest (AOIs), evaluation activities, and prototype award timelines. Dates are estimates and are subject to change based on Government priorities, funding availability, proposal volume, and operational requirements. This notional schedule is provided solely for planning purposes and does not constitute a commitment by the Government to issue awards, obligate funds, or adhere to the dates presented herein. The Government reserves the right to revise the schedule as mission requirements dictate.

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.
