Summary answer: Plan for roughly 6–10 weeks from a confirmed contract to closing in Woodbridge, plus house-hunting time upfront. Also worth confirming: Woodbridge's Pentagon commute runs 35-55 minutes, so factor that into your reporting requirements if the Pentagon is your actual destination rather than Quantico.
