Award

Not yet. Typical award: Sep 30, 2026 to Dec 24, 2026, middle of the range Nov 14, 2026.

Measured from 53 past early notices at Defense Logistics Agency with NAICS 332439 that later posted an award (middle half of cases, counted from Jul 29, 2026).

Responses are due Dec 4, 2026, so an award before then is unlikely; past cases include short solicitations.

Value counts new single-winner awards. "Shared" awards are multiple-award contracts that list every winner with the same total ceiling (same contract, or the same office, day and amount); that ceiling is not one company's win, so it is not added in. Contract modifications are not new awards and are not added in either. Revenue next to a ticker is the company's revenue over the latest 12 months in its SEC filings.

Companies are matched to tickers by exact name, including the subsidiaries a company lists in its SEC filings. A company we could not match shows no market rows; that is a miss, not a finding.
