The draw is expected to occur in the first half of 2027. The timing does not affect application processing at this stage of evaluations, as all applied-for strings will proceed through String Evaluation concurrently. Application priority numbers do not determine processing order during that stage. Priority numbers become relevant only at later stages of application processing (i.e. Applicant Evaluation and Application Evaluation stages, Contention Resolution stage, and Contracting stage) after the String Evaluation Stage concludes.
See additional FAQs for more information on who can participate in the prioritization draw and how the prioritization draw works.
