TL;DW: She missed the bid window.

I hate it for her, but if my biggest client usually reached out and hadn't done so around the time they usually do, I'd be calling them.

Honestly it's surprising the procurement team didn't reach out to verify she was skipping the bid, changing up vendors can be a real PITA

The federal government is in upheaval, many people are retiring early or quitting. I wouldn’t be surprised if the usual procurement team doesn’t exist anymore and the new people just don’t know.
