I may as well lay out my own take on yesterdays's Omega award. As I read the January 23 notice, the entire notice is laying out the non-competitive status of the award that was coming to Omega and was announced yesterday. Omega is the "one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements." The whole notice is to explain that the award will be non-competitive-- except for one sentence: "Please be advised that a competitive follow-on effort procurement is ongoing with a planned award in March 2019." This is the only sentence that speaks of a competitive process, and it can only be interpreted to mean that the award of the competitive process is planned for March. It does not mean that the non-competitive award to Omega will appear at any particular time since it doesn't even speak of any non-competitive award.
I can only conclude that the Omega award yesterday was the non-competitive one since it "is expected to be completed in March 2020", according to the announcement of the award.
I agree that we have good reason to expect announcement of the competitive award this month, except bearing in mind that all information provided in the January 23 notice is "subject to change", presumably without notice.
