Pinned straw:
Just a bit more digging into this program and if anyone is interested here is the links for the program presentation
Here is the main info page: https://www.energy.gov/gdo/grid-resilience-utility-and-industry-grants

Some interesting info:
@Valueinvestor0909 very true mate, I should have used 'program' or 'deal' instead of referencing a contract -- you are right in saying there is no contract here.
While it might not be clear, I think it is sensible to assume Pointerra's partners were viewed positively given their use of Pointerra3D, which Entergy is familiar with having selected it themselves last year to assist with a GIS upgrade.
@Valueinvestor0909 your comment about Pointerra actually not winning a contract themselves -- there is a strong argument this is what makes Pointerra3D an attractive investment proposition -- a company entering into a deal with partners of Pointerra, which in turn results in all parties using Pointerra3D and paying revenue to Pointerra. That is a hella' scalable opportunity if they can get it right.
