A fixed-price pilot for grants management

Discuss a proposed grants intake and review pilot for one agency program. Your agency alone determines its purchasing process, required approvals, and whether a quote or purchase order is appropriate.

Scope a proposed pilot View the illustrative workflow

Start with one clearly defined agency program

The proposed pilot focuses on one grant program or application cycle. An agency would define its own intake requirements, reviewer responsibilities, recordkeeping needs, and purchasing approvals before any work begins.

The public page contains an illustrative sample workflow only. GrantDesk is not a deployed working application, and no production agency data, existing customers, completed integrations, or demonstrated savings are claimed.

What a proposed pilot could assess

01

Scope

Review one program's actual application, eligibility, and reviewer requirements.

02

Plan

Agree on any proposed intake, review, reporting, and security requirements separately.

03

Review

Agency staff retain every eligibility, scoring, award, and purchasing decision.

04

Validate

Any application, data connection, automation, or production control would require separate implementation and verification.

Your agency controls its purchasing process

The proposed $6,500 fixed-price pilot covers 60 days and one separately agreed program or cycle. Your agency determines the applicable purchasing process, approvals, documentation, and whether a quote or purchase order is permitted.

No purchasing exemption, contract vehicle, automatic eligibility, or existing production implementation is represented. Any later subscription would require separate agency review and authorization.

Possible technical requirements need independent review

Potential agency system mappings, identity controls, applicant privacy, reporting, hosting, and automation are proposed requirements only. No connector, production security implementation, certification, or working applicant portal is currently represented. Review the proposed technical scope and security-review topics.

Common questions

Who decides how the pilot may be purchased?

Your agency's procurement team determines its required process, approvals, and documentation.

Is GrantDesk already a working application?

No. The public page shows an illustrative sample workflow. Any agency-connected application would require an approved, separately scoped build.

Who makes grant and payment decisions?

Authorized agency staff retain all eligibility, review, award, purchasing, and payment decisions.
