Funding posture
Hottest mega-dollar solicitation lane
Employment Service sits in the hot×mega corner: 20 indexed Grants.gov rows and a mega SAM.gov ceiling ($500,000 to $20.0 million). Both competition density and dollar capacity are elevated versus the catalog median; read open listings first, then ceiling peers.
