Award
Not yet. Typical award: Jun 17, 2025 to Aug 11, 2025, middle of the range Jul 10, 2025.
Measured from 688 past solicitations at Dept of the Air Force that later posted an award (middle half of cases, counted from May 19, 2025).
Responses are due Jul 25, 2025, so an award before then is unlikely; past cases include short solicitations.

Standard steps for the notice type; not advice about this buyer.

  • Decide bid or no bid before the response deadline.

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.
