PSA we seem to be way behind here..... Our Round one opens on the 10th and closes on the 15th. Not awarded until then 18th. Round 2 opens the 18th closes the 21st and is not awarded until the 24th.... Many months I had no clue what I'm doing the first week of the next month even a week ahead.... Just curious how PDT does their bids etc...
