Opportunity Summary:
The New Jersey Technology Solutions Center grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number HQ0034-10-1-0005) is a congressionally directed Department of Defense earmark intended to support a very specific workforce transition effort in New Jersey. The central purpose of the funding is to help the New Jersey Technology Solutions Center carry out its mission of retaining highly specialized workers in the state by creating or supporting employment opportunities for personnel affected by the planned closure of Fort Monmouth in 2011. In practical terms, the grant is framed as an economic and workforce continuity measure, aimed at reducing the loss of technical expertise by helping displaced Fort Monmouth employees move into new roles rather than leaving the region or exiting their fields.
This opportunity is not a competitive, open solicitation. The announcement explicitly states that it is designated for the New Jersey Technology Solutions Center as named in Section 8085 of the Department of Defense Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2010 (Public Law 111-118), and that no other applicants may apply. While the eligibility field lists nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), the earmark language makes clear the intended recipient is a single, specified organization, meaning the listing functions more as a technical classification than an invitation for multiple applicants.
The funding mechanism is a grant under an “Other” funding activity category (as indicated by the program’s classification notes). The total estimated funding is $2,955,000, and because the award ceiling and award floor are both set at $2,955,000, the announcement indicates an expected single award in that exact amount. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, which means the recipient is not required to provide non-federal funds to match the award. The program is associated with CFDA number 12.599 and is labeled as Congressionally Directed Assistance, underscoring that it was directed through the appropriations process rather than designed as a broadly competed grant program.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on April 22, 2010, with an original and current closing date of June 30, 2010, and an archive date of July 30, 2010. The sponsoring agency is the Department of Defense. For administrative or access issues related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Karen Rooney, Contracting Officer/Grants Officer, reachable by phone at 703-588-1922.
