Questions
Does this replace procurement?
No. Intelliscope helps you scope work and set budgets. Requests for proposals through ETA Partners are informal market research; follow your own procurement rules before you award contracts.
Can our state or council of governments sponsor plans for every community?
Yes. A sponsored program covers full plans for the communities you serve and shows you anonymous totals across all of them. See the sponsored program page.
How current is the funding information?
Each program shows when ETA last verified it, and programs that are closed, paused or at risk are flagged. Federal programs changed a lot in 2025 and 2026, so always confirm with the program.
How do governments pay?
By card, or through a sponsored program. For an invoice or purchase order, contact ETA.
