County and Municipal Agency Domestic Preparedness Equipment Support Program

The Department of Justice's County and Municipal Agency Domestic Preparedness Equipment Support Program (CFDA 16.006) has not disbursed grant awards since November 2001, making it inactive for nearly twenty-five years. Only three Project Grants totaling a nominal amount have been awarded under this program in its documented history—one in 1999 and two in 2001—with no grant opportunities currently posted or recently reopened. The program funded domestic preparedness equipment for cities and counties through the Nunn-Lugar-Domenici initiative, supporting municipal and county emergency-response capacity during the early post-Cold War period when federal domestic preparedness funding was concentrated on terrorism prevention and response.

All three awards were Project Grants funded exclusively by the Department of Justice. The awards included support for Norfolk County domestic preparedness equipment and fiscal year 1999 and 2001 funding tranches targeting cities with populations of 69,000 to 105,000. Award values were extremely modest by modern standards—the largest at approximately $26,000—and all three grants carried completion dates between 2001 and 2004.

The program shows no recent activity beyond 2001 and no evidence of ongoing funding cycles or solicitation windows. Organizations evaluating pursuit of this program should treat it as inactive unless and until the Department of Justice signals reauthorization or reopens a grant opportunity. No current or near-term application deadlines are present in available program records.
