Early positioning intelligence

This project has been requested but not yet enacted. FFID surfaces CPF/CDS project intelligence from the congressional request stage — before any agency administration begins. Whether a solicitation eventually appears on SAM.gov, Grants.gov, a recipient portal, or not at all depends on the agency, assistance type, and earmark structure. Use this stage to identify the recipient and likely principals before the downstream path is determined.

Multiple channels — see below

DOT grants flow to state DOTs, transit authorities, cities, and port/airport authorities. Check the state DOT procurement portal and the recipient's own procurement page. SAM.gov is secondary.

Grant flows to state DOT, MPO, city, transit authority, port, or airport. Check state DOT portal or recipient portal first.
