Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity is a congressionally directed grant from the U.S. Department of Defense to support the United Service Organizations (USO). It is issued as an earmark-style award under the authority of Section 8079 of the Department of Defense Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2011 (Public Law 112-10). The program is categorized under Income Security and Social Services and is tied to CFDA 12.599, labeled as Congressionally Directed Assistance. In practical terms, this means the funding is not part of an open, competitive grant program aimed at a broad pool of applicants; it is a legislatively specified assistance action intended for the USO.
The opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number HQ0034-11-1-0006 and is titled "United Service Organizations (USO)." The Department of Defense listed the funding instrument type as a grant and anticipated making a single award. The total award amount is fixed, with both the award ceiling and award floor set at $20,000,000, indicating a single, set-dollar allocation rather than a range of possible award sizes. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to provide a non-federal match as a condition of receiving the funds.
Eligibility is effectively limited by the congressional direction described in the notice. While the Eligible Applicants field is broadly labeled as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," the eligibility statement makes clear that the intended recipient is the United Service Organizations (USO) based on the cited statutory authority. As a result, this opportunity functions as a targeted award rather than a general solicitation.
Key dates reflect a short application window typical of directed awards: the opportunity was posted and created on August 12, 2011, with an original and current closing date of August 31, 2011. The archive date is September 30, 2011, meaning it was later closed out and retained for recordkeeping rather than ongoing applications.
For applicants or stakeholders who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was Natalie Melomed, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 703-588-1138.
