Funding posture

Large-ceiling program without open NOFOs in index

Special Education Preschool Grants carries a mega-scale SAM.gov ceiling ($200,000 to $10.0 million) while Grants.gov contributes no indexed opportunities under CFDA 84.173. This shape usually marks block/formula assistance or agency-direct awards, not a missing scrape alone.
