GSA announced 43 Phase 1 awardees of the Alliant 3 governmentwide acquisition contract on February 23, 2026 — selected from 133 proposals. Total target across all phases is roughly 76 awardees. Coverage from GovCon Wire.
Named Phase 1 winners (selected)

What Alliant 3 buys
Cloud services, cybersecurity, data management, software development, systems engineering, and other emerging-technology services. The contract is structured as a pre-competed multiple-award IDIQ — agencies issue task orders to the awardee pool.
Phase progression
- Offerors not selected in Phase 1 stay eligible for subsequent phases until ~76 awards (plus ties) are complete
- Phase progression suggests GSA wants to add awardees over the contract's life — re-attempts are real
What to do
- Phase 1 winners: hunt task orders aggressively in Q2 FY26 — the early award flow shapes incumbency for the full contract
- Non-winners with strong proposals: revise and resubmit on the next phase
- Subs: 43 awardees is a wide pool — pick 5–6 primes to build deep teaming with
