Opportunity Summary:

This grant opportunity is a congressionally directed award from the U.S. Department of Defense to support the United Services Organization (USO). It is issued under the authority of Section 8079 of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2012 (Public Law 112-74, enacted December 23, 2011). The listing makes clear that this is an earmark-style appropriation rather than a typical competitive grant program, meaning the funding is specifically designated for the USO as directed by Congress.

The opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number HQ0034-11-1-0006-P00001 and carries the title "United Services Organization (USO)." The opportunity category is listed as an Earmark, and the funding instrument type is a Grant. The activity category is "Income Security and Social Services," and it is associated with CFDA number 12.599, labeled "Congressionally Directed Assistance." Only one award is expected, and the eligible applicant category is effectively limited to the USO as described in the eligibility statement (even though the general eligibility field uses a broad label and refers readers to additional clarification).

The total anticipated award amount is fixed, with both the award floor and award ceiling set at $20,000,000, indicating the grant amount is intended to be exactly $20 million rather than a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to provide a formal matching contribution as a condition of receiving the funds.

Key dates in the notice show it was posted on May 14, 2012, created on May 15, 2012, and had an application closing date of June 1, 2012 (with no change between the original and current closing dates). The opportunity was later archived on July 1, 2012, which typically means the application window has closed and the listing is retained for recordkeeping and public reference.
