PSCThe product or service code: what exactly is being bought, more specific than the industry code.
Not yet. Expected award: Any day (median passed). Typical range Sep 17, 2026 to Feb 18, 2027; middle Sep 17, 2026.
Measured from 11 past early notices at Dept of the Navy with NAICS 334220 that later posted an award (middle half of cases, counted from Jul 16, 2026).
Held to the response deadline (Sep 17, 2026): no award is forecast before responses are in.
Value counts new single-winner awards. "Shared" awards are multiple-award contracts that list every winner with the same total ceiling (same contract, or the same office, day and amount); that ceiling is not one company's win, so it is not added in. Contract modifications are not new awards and are not added in either (6 here). Notices whose amount is a placeholder such as $999,999,999 are not added in. Revenue next to a ticker is the company's revenue over the latest 12 months in its SEC filings.
