Award
Not yet. Typical award: Jul 27, 2026 to Oct 20, 2026, middle of the range Aug 21, 2026.
Measured from 718 past early notices at Dept of the Army that later posted an award (middle half of cases, counted from Jun 16, 2026).
Responses are due Aug 14, 2026, so an award before then is unlikely; past cases include short solicitations.

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.
