Award
Not yet. Typical award: Aug 15, 2026 to Oct 9, 2026, middle of the range Sep 7, 2026.

Responses are due Aug 18, 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.
