Award
Not yet. Typical award: Aug 6, 2026 to Sep 23, 2026, middle of the range Aug 20, 2026.
Measured from 98131 past solicitations at Defense Logistics Agency that later posted an award (middle half of cases, counted from Jul 22, 2026).
Responses are due Oct 1, 2026, so an award before then is unlikely; past cases include short solicitations.
