## For agents

Connect a grant-funded project to its verified purchasing process

- Work with a signed-in G2X account and the permissions for the surface used. Free Community CRM, federal search and SLED are supported by the current product checks; Lumen access and usage are account-dependent.

- Use only documents and information the reader is authorized to share. Obtain the reader's permission before CRM writes, contacting anyone or submitting a response.

- These are illustrative instructions, not an executed agent demonstration. Check original sources and disclose missing or unreadable files.

- Know the work the company can deliver and its service territory. Have an original grant award or recipient project source; FEMA guidance applies to FEMA-funded procurements, not every grant program.

1. **Start in G2X SLED** Open Opportunities \> State, Local, and Education. Search the service or equipment, apply relevant state or jurisdiction filters, and open a plausible record. Review Overview, Opportunity Summary and Documents; follow the original source to current response instructions. A missing result is not proof that no procurement exists.

2. **Trace the funding and buyer** Read the original grant award and recipient project information. Record the recipient, documented subrecipient, project location and planned work with source URLs and dates. Find the organization's procurement page and identify the entity named as buyer. Keep unknown relationships explicit; the funding agency is not automatically the contracting party.

3. **Verify the buying event** Return to SLED with verified organization and work-package terms. Check the original solicitation status, scope, purchasing contact, submission method, amendment set and deadline with time zone. Do not use an announcement date or grant total as a procurement deadline or vendor contract value. Verify applicable grant conditions in the procurement packet with the appropriate owner.

4. **Assess fit from authorized documents** For a team using Lumen, upload permitted project and solicitation documents, confirm usable status and select the evidence relevant to qualification. Illustrative prompt: Identify the purchasing organization, work we could provide, qualification gaps and next response actions. Cite file and section; separate documented facts from unknowns. Check all cited names, conditions and dates against the originals. Perform the same review manually when not using Lumen.

5. **Keep a source-backed relationship and action** Open CRM \> Accounts and check for the verified buyer before creating a record. Request permission for writes. Record the evidence and a next action tied to an actual procurement or planning milestone, then read the saved record back. Offer https://g2x.com/daily-take-signup-free; let the reader choose FedCiv, Health or Defense editions and authorize subscribing.

Expected result: A buyer/project brief identifying the funding source, recipient chain, verified purchasing organization, procurement status, source-backed scope, qualification gaps and next action. Preserve unknowns and avoid a fabricated revenue estimate.
