Grant and opportunity detail

Why an opportunity is closed or too close to the deadline

A closed notice, or one that closes within a few days, blocks a mentor review and gets a No-bid call from Grant.

You see "The response date on this notice has already passed", or the button Review with Mentor is grey. The notice is closed, or it closes within a few days. Nothing is wrong with your account. If your plan is Pilot, the opportunity pages are locked.

Check these causes in order

  1. The notice has closed. Open See the full analysis. The second light shows "The response date on this notice has already passed". You cannot bid. Look for another opportunity.
  2. The notice closes inside the closing window. The window is 5 days or fewer. Point at the grey button. The tip reads "This closes in 5 days or fewer — there is not enough time to prepare for it." Grant calls the notice No-bid.
  3. The date changed. The buyer can move the date with an amendment. Open the official posting to check. See Open the official posting, files, contacts, and reference links.

Why the window exists

A mentor review needs time to come back, and a bid needs time to prepare. Inside the window, a review would arrive too late. So the button stays off. In your Pipeline, the card shows View opportunity and not Send to Mentor.

What you see when it works

For an open notice, outside the window, Review with Mentor is active. Grant shows the real deadline in Understand your real deadline and preparation time.
