Award
Not yet. Typical award: Jul 10, 2026 to Nov 30, 2026, middle of the range Aug 14, 2026.
Measured from 62 past early notices at Dept of the Army with NAICS 236220 that later posted an award (middle half of cases, counted from Mar 20, 2026).
Responses are due Aug 14, 2026, so an award before then is unlikely; past cases include short solicitations.
