Atlas Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score 84/100. One statewide Corrections Education subrecipient is expected. The current planning table estimates $116,082 for the corrections-education award and requires a 25% local match. N9+ Direct Vendor Fit 0/100 because the verified scope is adult literacy, education, training, career pathways, and re-entry rather than telehealth, RPM, remote physical examination, or clinical technology procurement.
The Montana Department of Labor & Industry has re-released a competitive WIOA Title II Adult Education and Family Literacy Act funding opportunity for Corrections Education and Other Education of Institutionalized Individuals.
Deadline: applications are due September 10, 2026 at 11:59 PM MST. Written questions are due September 4, 2026 at 5:00 PM MST, and Montana anticipates an October 1, 2026 award.
Award structure: Montana intends to select one statewide Corrections Education subrecipient. The current planning table estimates $116,082 for the corrections-education award for PY26, subject to final federal and state appropriations. Approved applicants must track a 25% local match.
Eligible applicants: organizations must demonstrate effectiveness in adult education and literacy. Potential applicants include LEAs, community-based and faith-based organizations, volunteer literacy organizations, institutions of higher education, public or private nonprofits, libraries, public housing authorities, qualifying nonprofit institutions, consortia or coalitions, employer partnerships, and Tribal organizations.
Program scope: allowable services include adult education and literacy, special education, secondary-school credit, integrated education and training, career pathways, concurrent enrollment, peer tutoring, and transition or re-entry services for institutionalized individuals.
Atlas Opportunity Score: 84/100. This is a clearly defined statewide education, workforce-development, and re-entry opportunity with a verified deadline, formal application package, and one statewide award.
N9+ Direct Vendor Fit: 0/100. The verified scope does not establish a defensible N9+ hardware, telehealth, RPM, or clinical-technology procurement path, so Atlas is publishing the opportunity without forcing a Dr. Miltie sales pursuit.
