Preparations are underway to move forward with this acquisition. Our current schedule indicates issuing a draft solicitation in March/April 2026, where we will solicit feedback and hold face to face meetings. We will continue to provide iterative updates on any schedule changes or as information becomes available to communicate a reliable timeline on the solicitation of the IDaC contract and avoid unnecessary requests for information.
