The base year is scheduled for December 1, 2026, through November 30, 2027, followed by four option years. The final option year ends November 30, 2031.

Questions are accepted November 2–6, 2026. Offers are due November 13, 2026, at 8:00 PM Eastern Time. The solicitation says the due date was extended because of the volume of questions. Plan to submit before the deadline and follow the solicitation’s instructions for offer delivery.
