Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "The American Red Cross," is a congressionally directed grant administered by the U.S. Department of Defense. It was issued as an earmark under CFDA 12.599 (Congressionally Directed Assistance) and falls within the funding activity category of Income Security and Social Services. The legal authority for the award comes from Section 8079 of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2012 (Public Law 112-74), enacted on December 23, 2011. In practical terms, this means Congress specifically directed that these funds be provided to the American Red Cross rather than being competed through a typical open grant competition.
The announcement indicates there is expected to be only one award, with both the award floor and award ceiling set at exactly $24,000,000. Because the floor and ceiling are identical, the funding amount is essentially fixed at $24 million. The funding instrument type is a grant, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not required to contribute additional non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
Eligibility is restricted by design: while the listing uses a broad label ("Others"), the eligibility statement clarifies that the award is specifically directed to the American Red Cross under the cited statutory authority. As a result, other organizations would not realistically be eligible to apply for or receive this particular funding, since it is structured as a congressionally designated award.
Key dates included a posted date of May 14, 2012, a creation date of May 15, 2012, and an application closing date of June 1, 2012 (with no change between the original and current closing dates). The opportunity was archived on July 1, 2012, signaling that it is no longer active.
For administrative or access issues related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Michael Curran, Contract Specialist, at 703-545-3455, associated with WHS (Washington Headquarters Services).
