Opportunity Summary:
The Odometer Fraud Assistance opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number DTNH2215R00093) is a discretionary federal grant program run by the U.S. Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), specifically through its Office of Odometer Fraud Investigation (OFI). The program is designed to strengthen enforcement efforts against odometer fraud at the state level by supporting state agencies that investigate and pursue violations related to odometer tampering and mileage misrepresentation. In practical terms, the funding is meant to help states improve their ability to detect, investigate, and take enforcement action in cases where vehicle mileage has been rolled back or otherwise falsified, which is a consumer protection and public safety issue because mileage affects a vehicle's value, maintenance schedule, and perceived reliability.
Awards under this announcement are issued as Cooperative Agreements rather than simple grants, which generally means NHTSA expects to have an ongoing, collaborative role in the funded work (for example, coordinating enforcement strategies, monitoring progress, or providing technical involvement as the project runs). The program anticipates making up to two awards total, and the available funding can be split among selected applicants. The stated maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $65,000, with no minimum award amount listed (award floor of $0), suggesting flexibility in how much each recipient might receive depending on the proposed enforcement activities and NHTSA's funding decisions.
Eligibility is limited to state governments, with the intent that state enforcement agencies apply to participate in the initiative. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning states are not required to contribute their own funds as a condition of receiving an award. The funding activity category is Transportation, and the associated CFDA number is 20.614 (NHTSA Discretionary Safety Grants), which is the catalog listing that historically grouped these types of NHTSA discretionary safety funding opportunities.
Key timing details from the announcement show it was posted on August 17, 2015 (created August 19, 2015), with an application closing date of September 9, 2015, and an archive date of October 9, 2015, indicating it was a time-limited competitive opportunity. For applicant support or difficulty accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Matthew Donahue, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 202-366-9096.
