Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "OUr Military Kids, Inc" is a Congressionally Directed Assistance (earmark) award issued by the U.S. Department of Defense under the authority of 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 means the funding was specifically set aside by Congress for a named recipient rather than being a broadly competed discretionary grant program. The opportunity is tied to the CFDA listing 12.599, which covers Congressionally Directed Assistance, and it falls under a general funding activity category labeled "Other" because it is not a standard competitive program but an earmarked assistance action.
This announcement (Funding Opportunity Number HQ0034 10 1 0003) anticipated a single award, consistent with the nature of a congressionally directed item. The estimated total funding amount was $800,000, and the award ceiling was also set at $800,000, indicating the full amount available for the designated recipient. The award floor was listed as $0, which is a common administrative entry and does not suggest an expectation of partial awards; rather, it reflects that the minimum possible award amount is not fixed in the posting. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient was not required to contribute additional non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the grant.
Eligibility was not open to the public or to a broad class of applicants. Instead, the eligible applicant category was effectively limited to the specifically named organization, Our Military Kids, Inc., as stated in the eligibility information. This is consistent with earmark-style opportunities where Congress directs assistance to a particular entity, and the agency then administers the award consistent with applicable grant rules and the statutory language in the appropriations act.
The opportunity was posted and created on March 17, 2010, with an original and current closing date of June 1, 2010. The archive date was July 1, 2010, meaning the listing was later closed out and maintained only for record/reference purposes. Anyone who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically was directed to contact Karen Rooney, Contracting Officer/Grants Officer, at 703-588-1922.
