Award
Not yet. Expected award: Any day (median passed). Typical range Apr 12, 2026 to Jun 8, 2026; middle May 1, 2026.
Measured from 107 past early notices at Us Geological Survey that later posted an award (middle half of cases, counted from Mar 17, 2026).
Responses are due Jun 1, 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. Notices whose amount is a placeholder such as $999,999,999 are not added in. Revenue next to a ticker is the company's revenue over the latest 12 months in its SEC filings.
