About this program

The Federal Emergency Management Agency funded interoperable communications equipment grants under CFDA 83.566, with the most recent grant awards issued in July 2003. This program is no longer active; no grant awards have been disbursed in the past 23 years.

The program funded procurement and deployment of interoperable communications equipment for state and local emergency services agencies. Recipients included cities, counties, and regional authorities. Recent awards supported equipment acquisition by jurisdictions including Tulsa, Oklahoma; Westmoreland County; Narragansett, Rhode Island; Rehoboth Beach, Delaware; Worcester County; Erie County, New York; Ramsey County, Minnesota; Harrison County; and Monroe County, Michigan. All funded projects had completion dates in the second and third quarters of 2003, indicating short project lifecycles typical of equipment procurement grants.

The program operated exclusively as Project Grants—all nine awards in the portfolio were structured as Project Grants. The Federal Emergency Management Agency was the sole funding source, obligating $41.6 million in federal dollars across nine awards between April and July 2003. Recipients provided $7 million in non-federal cost-share, bringing total obligated funds to $48.6 million. Individual award sizes ranged from $1.1 million to approximately $8 million, with most awards in the $6 million to $7.9 million range.

No recent grant opportunities are posted for this program. The absence of awards since 2003 and the lack of current solicitations indicate the program is inactive. Organizations interested in federal support for interoperable emergency communications should review active FEMA grant programs such as the Homeland Security Grant Program or the Emergency Management Performance Grants program.
