Award
Not yet. Typical award: May 22, 2025 to Aug 15, 2025, middle of the range Jun 16, 2025.
Measured from 718 past early notices at Dept of the Army that later posted an award (middle half of cases, counted from Apr 11, 2025).
Responses are due Jun 9, 2025, so an award before then is unlikely; past cases include short solicitations.
