Opportunity Summary:
The Cogar Road Reconstruction Project (Funding Opportunity Number A16AC00056) is a federal transportation-related funding action issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA). It is published as a notice of intent to make an award, not as an open call for applications. In other words, it is not a competitive grant solicitation and it is not requesting proposals, quotes, or bids from the public.
The BIA’s stated intent is to enter into a cooperative agreement with Caddo County, Oklahoma, to reconstruct a portion of Cogar Road located in Caddo County. The work is to be carried out on behalf of the Caddo Nation of Oklahoma, indicating the project is tied to transportation infrastructure serving tribal interests and community needs. Because the instrument type is a cooperative agreement, the arrangement generally implies a closer working relationship and oversight role by the federal agency than a standard grant, with the recipient and the agency coordinating during project execution.
The opportunity is categorized under “Other†for the opportunity type, but the funding activity category is Transportation, and the CFDA listing is 20.205. The eligible applicant category shown in the posting is “State governments,†yet the notice is explicitly directed to a specific local government entity, Caddo County, as the intended recipient. The posting also makes clear there is only one anticipated award (Expected Awards: 1), reinforcing that this is a targeted, pre-identified award rather than a program seeking multiple applicants.
Financially, the notice lists an award ceiling of $5,400,000. Key dates included in the source data show the creation date as August 9, 2016, with an original closing date of September 30, 2016. Practically, since this is a notice to award (and explicitly instructs parties not to submit bids), those dates function more as administrative timeline markers for the agency’s award process rather than a deadline for external submissions.
The most important instruction in the announcement is procedural: it repeatedly emphasizes that no one should submit proposals or bids in response to the notice. The intended purpose of the posting is simply to document the federal government’s plan to fund and partner with Caddo County to complete the Cogar Road reconstruction project for the benefit of the Caddo Nation of Oklahoma.
