Award
Not yet. Typical award: Oct 17, 2026 to May 18, 2027, middle of the range Jan 6, 2027.
Measured from 3964 past early notices at Dept of the Navy that later posted an award (middle half of cases, counted from Aug 6, 2026).
Responses are due Oct 21, 2026, so an award before then is unlikely; past cases include short solicitations.
