Opportunity Summary:
The Air Force Academy Athletic Programs grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number USAFA ADCA 2013 1) is a discretionary federal assistance award that the U.S. Air Force Academy (USAFA) planned to issue as a cooperative agreement to support and improve the United States Air Force Academy's athletic program. The purpose of the funding is to provide athletic program support through a formal partnership structure where USAFA and the recipient work collaboratively, which is consistent with how cooperative agreements are intended to function under federal assistance rules (as referenced in 31 U.S.C. 6305). In practical terms, the opportunity is aimed at strengthening USAFA athletics through program support and enhancement activities, with an emphasis on ongoing improvement rather than a one-time, narrowly defined project.
This opportunity is authorized under a specific statute, 10 U.S.C. 9362, which is central to both the program's existence and who can receive the award. Under that authority, the Secretary of the Air Force (SECAF) established the Air Force Academy Athletic Corporation (AFAAC) as a Colorado nonprofit corporation specifically to support the Air Force Academy's athletic programs. The statute also explicitly permits SECAF to enter into cooperative agreements with this corporation for purposes tied to academy athletics. Because the authorizing law identifies the intended entity, eligibility is essentially closed: the announcement states that the Air Force intends to award the cooperative agreement to AFAAC, and that no other entity needs to apply. As part of applying, the corporation would need to provide its DUNS number and documentation of nonprofit status to help demonstrate that it is the qualified recipient contemplated by the statute.
Funding for the opportunity was substantial. The estimated total funding and the award ceiling are both listed as $45,000,000, with an award floor of $0, and the Air Force expected to make one award. The program is associated with CFDA number 12.801 (Air Force Academy Athletic Programs). The funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which typically signals that the federal agency anticipates significant involvement or coordination during performance rather than simply issuing funds with minimal interaction, as might be more common in a standard grant.
A notable feature of the opportunity is its planned move toward shared financial responsibility over time. While the award includes federal assistance, USAFA indicated a long-term goal of having AFAAC become self-sustaining from a funding perspective. Reflecting that transition, the announcement states that cost sharing was anticipated in years three through five, at levels discussed in the full program announcement. In other words, the early years were expected to rely more heavily on federal support, with later years requiring the recipient to contribute a defined share of program costs, consistent with a strategy to reduce dependence on federal funding.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on April 8, 2013, with a closing date of May 23, 2013, and it was archived on May 24, 2013. The sponsoring agency is listed as the Air Force Academy. For announcement access issues, the listed point of contact was Nathan Pauly, Contract Specialist, at 719-333-3948 and nathan.pauly.1@us.af.mil.
