It concerns a specific bridge replacement project located in Ottawa County, Oklahoma, and is being carried out in partnership with the Oklahoma Department of Transportation (ODOT).

The eligible applicant category listed is state governments, which aligns with ODOT being the partner and recipient under this cooperative agreement framework.
From a funding perspective, the listed award ceiling is $1,000,000, and the expected number of awards is one, reinforcing that this is a single-recipient, project-specific award rather than a broader program with multiple grantees. The opportunity is categorized under “Other” for opportunity category, uses “Cooperative Agreement” as the funding instrument type, and falls under the transportation activity category. The CFDA number provided is 20.205, which is a federal assistance identifier used to classify and track the assistance program associated with the funding.
