TIPS auction calendar
Use the announced auction and issue dates to plan an order. An auction date is when bids are resolved; the issue or settlement date is when the security and funds are exchanged. A brokerage may require your order before Treasury's deadline.

Dates and results above are a saved Treasury snapshot, not a promise of an open order window. Verify the current Treasury announcements and the cutoff displayed by your broker. Treasury's published closing times are Eastern time; your broker's cutoff may be earlier.

| 5 years | April and October | June and December |
| 10 years | January and July | March, May, September and November |
| 30 years | February | August |
Pattern from TreasuryDirect's TIPS terms. Future dates and offerings can change; an actual announcement takes precedence over a pattern.
A reopening is the same security at a new auction
It shares the existing CUSIP, coupon and maturity. The new auction can clear at a different yield and price. A reopened ten-year issue has less than ten years remaining, so look at the maturity date rather than the original term alone.
Prepare before the cutoff
- Read the official announcement for the exact security and terms.
- Verify your account's purchase eligibility and available settled cash.
- Check whether the ticket uses face amount or a number of bonds.
- Understand that a noncompetitive order accepts the eventual auction result.
- Record the settlement amount and cash-flow dates after allocation.

Source and maintenance
The snapshot comes from TreasuryDirect's public securities data. A blank coupon or auction yield means it was not supplied in that snapshot; it is not a zero. The download keeps dates and reported values so you can inspect them.
Treasury has announced forthcoming API field changes. Refreshes validate required fields and retain the prior snapshot if the source becomes incomplete. Always check the observation date before relying on a schedule.
