Description

This notice is to inform industry of the current status of the source selection for FA9453-25-R-X-002-SSHINE. Due to the recent government shutdown, the majority of the acquisition team was placed on furlough, resulting in unavoidable delays to the evaluation process. Despite these interruptions, the team has resumed work, and the source selection remains active. The Government currently anticipates making an award by the third quarter of the fiscal year. Please note that no communications or updates to offerors will be issued during the upcoming holiday period. We appreciate your patience and continued interest in this requirement. Should additional updates become available, they will be communicated promptly.
