Hub-and-spoke map of the federal acquisition and grant landscape relevant to identity-intervention talent development. Every card opens a focused detail page. Designed so signal-scout, opportunity-lister, connector-agent, day-commander, and deep-intel can all read from and write into the same shared brain.
HERUYMFFX54615Z91Workforce & transition programs (SkillBridge, COOL, STEM, TAP) + acquisition pathways (DIU, SBIR, AFWERX, SOFWERX, NavalX, OTAs & consortia). SBIR reauthorized through 2031. The identity-intervention pitch.
Statutory paths, NDC eligibility (we qualify), approval chain by dollar tier, process flow, white-paper format spec, The Phoenix Group partnership card, entry points, negotiation/risk items. Source-document index.
DoD's validated AI talent marketplace (13K users, $5.3M CDAO scaling). GigEagle owns the middle; founding_up owns both ends. The strongest single DoD-facing narrative we have. Engagement paths through CTMO, DIU, CDAO, OUSD(P&R).
EIR · IES · GEAR UP · TRIO · Perkins V · AEFLA. Plus the ED Talent Marketplace Supplemental Priority (FR Doc 2026-07084) — a permanent CPP that can be layered onto any ED grant. Companion AI priority. MATCH Act tailwind.
DOL (WIOA, ApprenticeshipUSA), NSF (ITEST, EDU, CIVIC), VA (VR&E, GI Bill), Commerce/NIST/EDA, SBA contracting programs, HHS/ACF. Secondary lanes that materially shape the workforce landscape.
Where we fit cleanly (identity intervention for transitioning populations, scholarship as match mechanism, evidence-building posture, NDC § 4022, GigEagle bookend, ED Talent Marketplace alignment). Where we need a partner. Where we don't fit.
The four-layer architecture (Identity Formation Accelerator → SIGNAL → Exchange Layer → CLEO) + compliance backbone + differentiators + past engagements. Print-ready one-pager for COs, program officers, primes, and partner intros.

Tier 1 / Tier 2 / Tier 3 federal opportunities with deadlines, vehicles, owners, and statuses. signal-scout and opportunity-lister append here. Critical-deadlines callout pinned. Status flow: scouting → shortlisted → pursuing → submitted → awarded / passed.
This week → June → Q3 → Q4 cadence pulled from the federal signals report. day-commander surfaces anything inside 14 days onto the Daily Agenda CW. Owners marked per item; never delete completed work — mark done with date.
How signal-scout, opportunity-lister, connector-agent, event-intel, deep-intel, and day-commander each read from and write into this shared brain. The Locked vs. Living rules. Mandatory check-in.
SAM, DoD, ED, OTA, NDC, MTA, GigEagle, CTMO, LER, CPP, NSTXL, TReX II, WISH, VSTAG, VET TEC, AOS, MAHC-III, JAMRS, and every other acronym that has appeared in this landscape. Agents append.
Locked vs. Living. Foundation, pathways, fit thesis, cap statement, and protocol are Locked — decisions and facts agents must not contradict. Watchlist, Action Plan, Glossary, and Changelog are Living — agents append.
Append, do not rewrite. When an agent finds a new program or opportunity, it adds a row or card with its name + date in the source field. Do not restructure existing tables. If a locked fact is wrong, surface it in the Changelog and flag for Dan rather than silently overwriting.
Always cite the agency source. Every program entry must show its administering office, authority (statute or program of record), and primary URL. No anonymous claims.
Mandatory check-in. No agent submits anything on behalf of founding_up without Dan's review. This hub captures intelligence and proposes action — Dan decides the next move.
