Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity is a congressionally directed, single-recipient Department of Defense grant intended specifically for the American Red Cross. It was issued by the Washington Headquarters Services and Procurement Office on behalf of the Office of the Secretary of Defense, with award authority coming from Section 8085 of the Department of Defense Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2010 (Public Law 111-118, enacted December 19, 2009). In practical terms, this is an earmark-style grant announcement where the agency is not running an open competition; instead, it is documenting and executing a funding direction that Congress already set aside for the American Red Cross.
The funding instrument is a grant, and the activity area is listed under Income Security and Social Services (CFDA 12.599, Congressionally Directed Assistance). The announcement indicates that the government expected to make exactly one award, matching the earmarked nature of the funding. The total estimated funding is $22,162,500, and both the award ceiling and award floor are the same amount, which signals that the grant amount was fixed rather than a range that applicants could propose against. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient was not expected to provide a non-federal share as a condition of receiving the funds.
Eligibility is effectively restricted to the American Red Cross, and the posting reflects that limitation. While the general eligibility category is shown as "Others," the eligibility details clarify that the appropriation is to the American Red Cross under the cited law, so other organizations would not be eligible to apply. The agency’s role, as described, is to negotiate and then award the grant consistent with the statutory authority and the appropriated amount.
Key administrative dates show the opportunity was posted and created on March 11, 2010, with an original and current closing date of May 31, 2010, and an archive date of June 30, 2010. For access issues or administrative questions about the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Kia Myles, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 703-588-1138. The funding opportunity number is HQ0034 08 1 0021, and the title is simply "American Red Cross."
