Buying rhythm

from 8 government buys since 2025

The government has bought this item about every 40 days (very regular, gaps vary ±30%). Last buy Jul 17, 2026. If the rhythm holds, the next one falls between Jul 15, 2026 and Oct 13, 2026: a buy is due about now.

How well this works: for very regular items, "next buy about one typical gap after the last, give or take 113 days" caught the actual next buy 48% of the time across 5,157 past buys, against 20% 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.
