Funding posture

Large-ceiling program without open NOFOs in index

Small Business Investment Companies carries a mega-scale SAM.gov ceiling ($1.0 million to $50.0 million) while Grants.gov contributes no indexed opportunities under CFDA 59.030. This shape usually marks block/formula assistance or agency-direct awards, not a missing scrape alone.

Small Business Investment Companies prints a for-profit small-business applicant door on SAM.gov. Treat this CFDA as a business-facing listing unless a live NOFO narrows the set further.
