Open now, applicant outreach locked by the 48-hour verification rule. The Alaska Department of Education and Early Development (DEED) accepts annual Capital Improvement Project (CIP) applications from Alaska school districts for School Construction and Major Maintenance projects. DEED lists the FY2028 application deadline as September 1, 2026. The current public DEED pages do not state an exact submission time, so Atlas cannot verify the required minimum of 48 hours remaining before outreach and therefore must not send new applicant-facing contact.
Applications are ranked under AS 14.11 and 4 AAC 31. Initial priority lists are scheduled for November 5, with final lists issued after reconsideration and appeals. The priority lists are then used by the governor and legislature in considering school capital budget funding.
Eligible applicants: Alaska school districts. To be eligible for funding, a district must maintain a six-year plan, fixed asset inventory system, adequate property loss insurance, and a preventive maintenance and facility management program certified by DEED. Applications and supporting documents must be submitted through the approved online portal.
Funding: The current FY2028 application page does not state a single statewide funding pool or per-district award cap. Grant awards depend on ranked project need and subsequent state appropriation, and recipients are generally subject to a local participating-share requirement under AS 14.11.008.
Atlas Opportunity Score: 82/100. This is a significant statewide school-capital funding process with broad district applicability and a structured annual prioritization mechanism.
N9+ Direct Vendor Fit: 12/100. The verified DEED materials are centered on school construction, major maintenance, facility systems, planning, design, construction standards and capital equipment. They do not establish a direct clinical telehealth or remote-exam procurement pathway for N9+. Atlas should not manufacture an N9+ role absent a district-specific project scope and explicit cost allowability.
48-hour outreach control: The exact September 1 submission time is not stated on the current public DEED pages. Because the hard pre-send rule requires Atlas to verify that at least 48 hours remain, new applicant-facing solicitation, package sends and follow-up outreach are blocked unless an authoritative exact deadline later establishes that the 48-hour minimum is satisfied.
