How to submit your FY27 CSBG tribal plan: OLDC, SF-424M and building a single PDF portfolio
Summary
Federal staff demonstrated step-by-step how to use GrantSolutions' OLDC to attach a single PDF portfolio (fillable tribal plan first) to the SF-424M, validate the form, and unsubmit/resubmit if changes are needed; the authorized official must certify before final submission.
Federal data and evaluation staff walked attendees through the Online Data Collection (OLDC) workflow in GrantSolutions and described the mechanics of attaching the CSBG tribal plan to the SF-424M as a single PDF portfolio.
"To access OLDC, first go to grantsolutions.gov," Monique Alcancera, data and evaluation specialist, said, and she explained that recipients must use login.gov credentials (including 2-factor authentication) and have a user assigned the grant-administrator role to certify the plan. Presenters said the CSBG tribal plan and supporting documents must be combined into a single PDF portfolio with the fillable tribal plan placed first.
Monique detailed the attachment steps (open the SF-424M, scroll to the attachments section, use the paperclip icon, choose the portfolio, attach, then validate). She explained the system will return errors that must be corrected before submission and described the 'unsubmit' and 'uncertify' process if updates are needed after submission. Presenters also advised notifying program specialists when an authorized official changes after plan acceptance.
