FY 2006 HOMELAND SECURfTY GRANT PROGRAM- DECEMBER 2, 2005 Under this program, State and local governments have access to over 3,000 GSA Schedule contractors who have voluntarily modified their contracts to participate in the Cooperative Purchasing program. The U.S. General Services Administration provides a definition of State and local governments as well as other vital information under the frequently asked questions section on its website at www.gsa.gov/coopcrativepurchasing. The term "State and local governments" does not include contractors of, or grantees of, the Federal, State, or local governments not otherwise named in the approved list of entities. State and local governments can find eligible contractors on GSA's web site, www.gsaelibrarv.gsa.gov, denoted with a ~ symbol. Assistance is available from GSA at the local and national level. For assistance at the local level visit www.gsa.gov/csd to find the point of contact in your area and for assistance at the national level, contact Patricia Reed at patricia.recd(cV,gsa.gov,213-534-0094. More information is available at www.gsa.gov/cooperativepurchasing. C. Overarching Program Guidance C.t. Period of Performance The period of performance for all programs within HSGP is 24 months from the date of award. Any unobligated funds will be de obligated by G&T at the end of this period. Extensions to the period of performance will be considered only through formal requests to G&T with specific and compelling justifications as to why an extension is required. C.2. Pass- Throul!h ReQuirements SHSP, UASI, LETPP: Each State shall make no less than 80 percent of the total grant program amount available to local units of government, including identified Urban Areas within 60 days of the receipt of funds. Any UASI funds retained by the State must be used to directly support the designated Urban Areas in the State. MMRS: In States with MMRS jurisdictions, SAAs should pass 100 percent of the MMRS program funding allocation to their MMRS jurisdiction(s). For MMRS jurisdictions within multiple States, each SAA involved should pass-through 100 percent of the funding to the designated fiduciary/coordinating entity. However, States may retain up to 20 percent of the MMRS program funding allocation to facilitate strategy assessment and capability integration between the State and the MMRS jurisdictions. Any funds retained by the State must be documented in a written agreement between the SAA and Chair of the MMRS Steering Committee(s). CCP: There are no minimum pass-through requirements for CCP. States are, however, expected to work with county or parish, local, and/or Tribal Citizen Corps Councils to expend funds in a manner that supports local efforts to educate, train, and involve citizens. If the State chooses to sub grant funds to a local unit of government, the recipient must have an existing Citizen Corps Councilor establish a Citizen Corps Council as a condition of receiving the funding. In FY 2006, States should consider allocating CCP funds to the highest risk jurisdictions within the State. In future fiscal years, DHS may require allocation of CCP funds to be made in a similar PREPAREDNESS DIRECTORATE'S OFFICE OF GRANTS AND TRAINING 27
