The Virginia Contracting Activity received nine responses to their original open solicitation posted in Dec. 2016. All nine solicitors received a contract with a minimum award of $10,000. The HELIOS program has an estimated completion date of September 2028. https://www.c4isrnet.com/intel-geoint/2018/09/18/dia-announces-winners-in-massive-intelligence-technology-contract
