What to do with a date
A federal contract is re-bought on a schedule that runs backwards from the day the current one ends — and most of what decides the winner happens before the solicitation is ever published.
By the time a rebid appears on SAM.gov the requirement is written, the set-aside decision is made, and the incumbent has had a year of conversations with the customer. Knowing an end date early is how you get into that year instead of arriving after it.
18mo → 12mo out
Research
The agency is beginning to plan the follow-on. You want to know more about this requirement than the notice will ever tell you.
12mo → 9mo out
Shape
The requirement is being written now. This is when a specification quietly comes to describe one company's way of working.
9mo → 6mo out
Sources sought
The highest-leverage window on the whole clock, and the one most small businesses sleep through.

Solicitation
The RFP typically posts in this window, and everything about it is fast.
