Award
Not yet. Typical award: Sep 20, 2026 to Nov 14, 2026, middle of the range Oct 13, 2026.
Measured from 688 past solicitations at Dept of the Air Force that later posted an award (middle half of cases, counted from Aug 22, 2026).
Responses are due Oct 22, 2026, so an award before then is unlikely; past cases include short solicitations.
