The Government intends to respond to questions received by 4:00 PM Central Daylight Time (CDT) on 26 October 2026, with a target of publishing responses by close of business on 28 October 2026. Questions and Government responses will be made available to all prospective respondents. Comments: Comments are industry observations, recommendations, suggested revisions, or other feedback offered for Government consideration that do not request a response. The Government will take comments received by 4:00 PM CDT on 26 October 2026 under advisement in developing the Final AOI.
