Things to watch
From the version posted Oct 14, 2026.
- Worth checking: Very large gas volume across ten states. The estimated quantity is 34,620,121 Dths over the term, spread over many installations, which favors established natural gas suppliers.
- Minor: Price moves under economic price adjustment. Awards are fixed price with economic price adjustment, so prices can change under rules that are not in this text.
- Minor: Place of performance differs between SAM.gov and the text. SAM.gov lists VA, while the text names ten Southern Region states and does not list Virginia.
