Information from the Federal Government
Proposal Submission: Most agency electronic proposal systems are expected to remain functioning and accepting proposals during the shutdown; this means that it is likely that proposal deadlines will not be extended for agencies using these systems for proposal submission. Please proceed with your proposal submissions in a normal fashion. If your agency's electronic system isn't listed here, please look at that agency's website or scroll down to the specific agency's information on this site to see if SPA has been informed about the status of that agency's system(s).
