Opportunity Summary:
The Indian Legal Program grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number 9FG811504) is essentially a public notice rather than an open, competitive grant solicitation. The Bureau of Reclamation, Denver Office posted it on July 24, 2009 to inform the public that the federal government intended to make a single-source grant award. In other words, no new applications were being requested or accepted through this announcement, because the funding was directed to a specific recipient as part of a Congressional earmark authorized under Public Law 111-08.
The opportunity is categorized as an earmark and uses a grant as the funding instrument, with the activity area listed under education. The agency anticipated making exactly one award, and the total funding amount was fixed at $210,000. Both the award ceiling and the award floor were also $210,000, which signals that the grant amount was predetermined rather than something that would vary based on a competitive review or proposed budget. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient was not expected to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Key dates show this was time-bound mainly for public transparency: it was posted and created on July 24, 2009, with an original and current closing date of August 7, 2009. The listing was set to archive on July 24, 2010. While the listing includes an "Eligible Applicants" field that broadly states "Others" and refers readers to additional eligibility clarification, the core eligibility message is that this was not an open opportunity. The practical effect is that outside organizations were not meant to apply because the award was intended for a single, pre-identified entity under the earmark direction.
For anyone who could not access the full announcement electronically or needed clarification about the notice, the point of contact provided was Randale Jackson, Contract Specialist and Grants Officer, reachable by phone at 303-445-2432.
