Award
Not yet. Expected award: Any day (median passed). Typical range Sep 8, 2026 to Jan 29, 2027; middle Oct 13, 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 May 19, 2026).
Responses are due Sep 9, 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.
