Program-level history — this opportunity doesn't publish per-opportunity awards, so these numbers describe its parent program (CFDA 20.218, Motor Carrier Safety Assistance), not this competition alone. Labeled that way on purpose.
66 unique recipients in the sample; 59 repeat winners.
range $96k – $50.6M
Ask-amount guidance
Applicants here typically receive far less than the advertised ceiling: the program median is $6.4M against a $55M ceiling (12%). Budgets far above the median need a story; budgets far below leave money on the table.
Draw-down reality (program)
Across 163 completed awards in this program (FY2021+ sample, USAspending outlay records), grantees ultimately drew a median 100% of obligated funds. A median well under 100% means underspend or early closure is common here — worth knowing before promising a spend-down timeline.
