Award
Not yet. Typical award: Aug 5, 2026 to Aug 26, 2026, middle of the range Aug 9, 2026.
Measured from 18 past early notices at Environmental Protection Agency with NAICS 811210 that later posted an award (middle half of cases, counted from Jul 22, 2026).
Responses are due Aug 6, 2026, so an award before then is unlikely; past cases include short solicitations.

Sources: SAM.gov notices and award notices; Senate LDA lobbying filings; FEC filings; FARA; Federal Register; congress.gov; SEC Form 4. Every row above links to its record.

Companies are matched to tickers by exact name only. A company we could not match shows no market rows; that is a miss, not a finding.
