Not yet. Typical award: Sep 3, 2026 to Oct 28, 2026, middle of the range Sep 26, 2026.
Measured from 688 past solicitations at Dept of the Air Force that later posted an award (middle half of cases, counted from Aug 5, 2026).
Responses are due Sep 30, 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
  • $LUMN reported $13.5B revenue in FY2025. The median single-winner award in these 20 past awards, $699K, is under 0.1% of that. 10-K
  • $T reported $122.4B revenue in FY2025. The median single-winner award in these 20 past awards, $699K, is under 0.1% of that. 10-K
  • $VSAT reported $4.3B revenue in FY2026. The median single-winner award in these 20 past awards, $699K, 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.
