Recompete context. This contract's current period of performance ends on
2026-11-30 (in 3 months). When a period of performance ends, the
agency typically either recompetes the work, extends the incumbent, or exercises a remaining option.
An end date is the earliest reliable public signal that a follow-on may be coming, which is why capture
teams track it. It is not a guarantee of a recompete. All figures are drawn from
USAspending.gov (U.S. Treasury) and are public domain.
