The Date Offers Due has been changed back to 15 December 2025 to reflect the date that initial proposals were due to the USG. The change in the date to February 26, 2026 was in error and is only applicable to the offerors who have been selected to progress to Phase III. The USG is not accepting additional Phase I submissions.
