About this program
The Office of the Secretary of Defense administers CFDA 12.700, Donations/Loans of Obsolete DOD Property, which transfers combat material, vessels, books, manuscripts, works of art, and other specified items from Department of Defense inventory to eligible recipients for historical, ceremonial, or display purposes. No recent grant opportunities are currently posted; the most recent award on record dates to September 2016.
Program activity has been minimal. The portfolio shows a single award disbursed in the past decade—a Project Grant to the Department of Transportation (Alaska) in September 2016 for a lease agreement, valued at zero federal dollars obligated. The ten-year gap between that award and today indicates the program has seen no measurable recent funding activity or new solicitations.
Eligible recipients are limited to veterans' organizations recognized by the Office of the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense (LIMDM), tax-exempt museums operated for educational purposes only, and incorporated municipalities. The Navy extends eligibility to additional categories including states, territories, political subdivisions, the District of Columbia, libraries, historical societies, educational institutions with World War I or World War II alumni, and nonprofit educational organizations.
The program operates as a passive referral system rather than a competitive grant solicitation. Applicants must submit requests directly to the Secretary of the Military Department that controls the desired property, and requests must be made before items are reported for sale or scheduled disposal. Donations under 10 U.S.C. 7308 and 10 U.S.C. 7545 require Congressional referral. Recipients bear costs for demilitarization (if required), packing, and handling; the donating activity provides disposition instructions when property is no longer needed. Vessels may not be used for purposes other than those stated in the application without written Navy consent.
Given the absence of recent awards or posted opportunities, pursuit of this program is not currently viable.
