Not yet. Typical award: Aug 25, 2026 to Oct 25, 2026, middle of the range Sep 4, 2026.
Measured from 192 past early notices at Energy, Department of that later posted an award (middle half of cases, counted from Aug 4, 2026).

Next steps for this stage

What the notice says

Battelle is contemplating the procurement of a portable X-band phased array radar (PAR) to support the ARM user facility in storm tracking and uncrewed aerial system (UAS) operations. This radar must be easily re-deployable because it will be moved periodically among ARM observatory locations. Set-up time should be on the order of or less than a day to accommodate flexible siting requirements per the attached technical specification.
