Doing some digging into Rebellion Defense and came across this contract.

Question-

The "Solicitation Date' for this contract is 8/24/2019

The description of said contract describes COVID-19 DIB Automation for Air Force intel.

Any explanation for why a contract was being solicited in Oct 2019 for a covid realted project?
