Buying rhythm
from 5 government buys since 2018
The government has bought this item about every 1.4 years (regular, gaps vary ±49%). Last buy Oct 7, 2024. If the rhythm holds, the next one falls between Jul 27, 2025 and Mar 5, 2027: a buy is due about now. 1 solicitation is open right now.
How well this works: for regular items, "next buy about one typical gap after the last, give or take 121 days" caught the actual next buy 42% of the time across 15,953 past buys, against 22% for a fixed "one year later" guess. A rhythm, not a schedule: DLA buys when stock and demand say so. Every item due for a buy now.
