Award
Not yet. Typical award: Jul 30, 2026 to Sep 23, 2026, middle of the range Aug 22, 2026.
Measured from 688 past solicitations at Dept of the Air Force that later posted an award (middle half of cases, counted from Jul 1, 2026).
Responses are due Aug 6, 2026, so an award before then is unlikely; past cases include short solicitations.

What the notice says

The revision date for offers has been extended to 6 August 2016 at 2:00 p.m. EST. This is the final solicitation. Soliciation is full and open to all vendors. Any reference to a set-aside is incorrect. Full and open to accomodate the timeline and to ensure all vendors may apply so objective may be met. Previous instructions were provided to continue to prepare your offer before the solicitation and any amendments were finalized. The decision to change the due date is to afford extra time due to the pricing sheet. There will be no other changes to the due date. This is being solicited as full a… (show all)

nd open. If any references remain for a set aside please disregard as all attempts to remove those references have been completed. Please review all documents as there is a new pricing file. The project scope encompasses the creation of classes, lessons, instructor guides, and student-facing training materials as described in the PWS. The selected vendor must collaborate closely with the government, which will simultaneously develop the inherently governmental portion of the curriculum, to ensure overall continuity and cohesive branding. This highly compressed effort has an expected completion window of less than four months, with all vendor-developed elements delivered in that time window. Furthermore, all lessons, activities, templates, and assessments are subject to formal government review and approval prior to deployment. There is no government furnished information on the space element of the course. The initial phase of the program consists of a 40-hour, high-engagement, multi-modal curriculum that avoids static lectures or slides. This 40-hour block integrates synchronous and asynchronous elements, including mandatory readings, interactive instructional videos, independent assignments, knowledge assessments, synchronous online group collaboration, and direct interaction with instructors and subject matter experts. The course culminates in an intensive, one-week capstone event focused on high-fidelity, performance-based activities and instructor-led simulations ensuing knowledge of space awareness and their role in superiority. A critical element is the space expert consultant. The Vendor will be required to participate in all curriculum development and iteration efforts from pre-execution through post-execution. The Vendor shall be responsible for the complete build-out and technical configuration of all assigned portions of course content within the Government-provided Learning Management System (LMS). Curriculum maintenance and updates will occur on a consistent and reoccurring schedule during the development stage as part of this effort. Additionally, all required multi-media support and Instructional Systems Design (ISD) support for the performance period are outlined in the PWS. The Government will retain final authority on all course content, instructional methodologies, and learning activities. Any vendor who would like to recommend an award be made using a different NAICS code may make that recommendation due to the nature of the project. Please note U008 will not be changed.

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.
