The open date moved from September 21, 2026 to October 5, 2026, a 14-day (two-week) delay. The change affects only the open_date field. No close date was provided, so we can't confirm whether the application window shrank.

Why it matters for applicants:

• More prep time, less submission time (possibly). If the close date stays the same, the window is two weeks shorter. If the close date also moves, the window is unchanged. Check for a close date amendment.
• Submissions can't start until October 5. Applications or portal registrations tied to the opening may not be accepted before then.
• Use the extra time to line up partners, finalize budgets, and complete SAM.gov, Grants.gov, or other registrations, which can take weeks.
• Update internal timelines. Adjust proposal-writing schedules, review gates, and any letters of support or subaward commitments pegged to the original September 21 date.

The application close date moved from October 5, 2026 to October 6, 2026, a one-day extension. Applicants have slightly more time to respond.

October 5, 2026 is a Monday and October 6 is a Tuesday, so the extra day is a business day. That helps teams finishing the final package, but it is too small to justify restructuring a proposal or adding a new partner. The change notice gives no reason for the extension and lists no other changes.

For business development, keep working toward the original October 5 date as the internal target. Use October 6 only as a buffer for submission problems, such as portal errors or registration issues, rather than as extra drafting time. Check the official listing again before submitting in case the deadline moves further. Also confirm the closing time and time zone, since the change notice shows only the date.

The solicitation was canceled. Amendment 0004 (SF 30, dated Oct 5, 2026) states: "At this time, solicitation W911KF-26-Q-A046 has been canceled."

• The description previously held the full SOW for replacing seven 1954 low-level cranes in Building 400 at Anniston Army Depot. That SOW covered 20-ton and 10-ton cranes with 5-ton auxiliary hoists, CMAA Class D, 220-day installation, and removal of the eight old cranes. The SOW text has been replaced by the SF 30 amendment form.
• No revised requirements, scope, or dates were issued. The technical requirements are no longer part of an active solicitation.

Why it matters: Stop any bid or quote work. No offer is needed, and there is nothing to acknowledge beyond noting the cancellation. Watch SAM.gov for a possible re-solicitation, which may have changed scope. Contact Zena Johnson (zena.s.johnson.civ@army.mil, 520-669-6059) for questions. Keep the previous SOW for reference if a new solicitation follows.

Status Change: Open to Closed

This funding opportunity is no longer accepting applications.

The solicitation has closed. Applicants can no longer submit proposals or applications for this opportunity.

If you submitted an application before the close date, it will be reviewed according to the original evaluation timeline. If you did not submit an application, you will need to monitor for future funding opportunities from this agency or program.

Contact information was removed and replaced with detailed technical specifications, equipment breakdown, and a formal statement of work attachment defining crane replacement scope and contractor responsibilities.
