This was a small August one of 8 upgrades. I think they slowed the upgrades to catch up, but we need to be doing at least 30/month. There will be another August 1 bid, that should have 24 more upgrades in it, which could push the upgrades into February and maybe March depending on bypass rates.
They only did 5 or 6 alternates for this bid and it went to January 8. Revisions have been happening on every bid, so don't be surprised to see the awarded DOH go to 12/30 or into January on this initial August one.
The September 1 and October 1 bids will probably be the last big upgrade months of 30/month followed by 10-15/month thereafter. It will be interesting to see how deep those go.
