The Government anticipates award on or about September 21, 2026. This notice is not a request for competitive quotations. However, all responsible sources may submit pricing and supporting capability information demonstrating their ability to meet the requirement within the stated period of performance. Responses must be received by 1:00 p.m. Central Time on September 19, 2026, and submitted electronically to the Contracting Officer identified in this notice. All timely responses will be considered. A determination not to compete the proposed acquisition based upon responses received is solely within the discretion of the Government.

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.
