Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2013 OIA Maintenance Assistance Program (MAP) is a discretionary grant opportunity offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior through its Office of Insular Affairs (OIA). The program is focused on strengthening how critical public infrastructure is maintained across the seven insular areas supported by OIA. Rather than emphasizing new construction, MAP is geared toward helping jurisdictions build reliable, repeatable maintenance systems and routines that keep existing infrastructure functioning, reduce long-term repair costs, and prevent deferred maintenance from turning into major failures. The stated goal is to support, develop, improve, and, as much as possible, institutionalize sound infrastructure maintenance practices.
The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number OIA 2013 MAP and is categorized as a grant (Funding Instrument Type: Grant) within a discretionary funding program. The funding activity category is identified as "Other," clarified specifically as support for infrastructure maintenance practices. The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number associated with this opportunity is 15.875, Economic, Social, and Political Development of the Territories, which aligns with OIA's broader mission of helping insular governments build capacity and improve essential services.
In terms of scale, OIA anticipated making about 25 awards under this announcement, with an estimated total funding amount of $741,000. The program also includes a cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants should be prepared to contribute non-federal resources (cash or allowable in-kind support, depending on the program rules) alongside the federal award. This matching element is intended to reinforce local commitment and increase the likelihood that improved maintenance practices continue after the grant period.
Eligibility is broad but targeted to organizations that directly serve the seven insular areas. Eligible applicants include local government entities, independent authorities, and educational institutions located in the four U.S. territories of Guam, American Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, as well as applicants in the three Freely Associated States: the Federated States of Micronesia, the Republic of the Marshall Islands, and the Republic of Palau. The announcement also allows non-profit organizations to apply if their mission directly benefits these insular areas, which can include technical assistance providers or organizations supporting public works, utilities, facility management, training, or maintenance planning.
Key timeline details show the opportunity was posted on October 9, 2012. The original closing date was September 30, 2013, but the current closing date listed is June 30, 2013. The archive date is October 30, 2013. Applicants would have been expected to submit proposals by the applicable deadline in effect at the time, and any questions or issues accessing the full announcement were directed to OIA staff contacts.
For assistance, the announcement provides contact information for Charlene Leizear, Technical Assistance Director, at (202) 208-4707, and Hailey McCoy, Program Specialist, at (202) 513-7746 or haileymccoy@ios.doi.gov.
