Opportunity Information: Apply for HQ003423NFOEASD04

The United Service Organizations 2023 Award is a Department of Defense grant opportunity administered by Washington Headquarters Services (WHS). It was posted on May 17, 2023 under Funding Opportunity Number HQ003423NFOEASD04 and carries the title "The United Service Organizations 2023 Award." The opportunity is categorized as mandatory, uses a grant as the funding instrument, and is listed under a general "Other" funding activity category, with the solicitation directing readers to the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NFO) for the specific explanation of that category and the full program details.

The funding profile indicates a single, high-value award. The posted award ceiling is $24,000,000, and the government anticipated making one award in total. The original application deadline was June 16, 2023. The CFDA (now commonly referenced as Assistance Listing) number associated with the opportunity is 12.599, which places it within the Department of Defense assistance listings. Because the public synopsis text itself is minimal and repeatedly points to the NFO, the detailed purpose, required activities, period of performance, deliverables, and reporting expectations are not stated in the summary record and would be defined in the NFO document.

Eligibility is broadly described as "Others," with additional eligibility conditions and definitions also deferred to the NFO. In practice, that means an applicant would need to rely on the NFO for the authoritative statement of who can apply, whether eligibility is limited to specific types of organizations, whether there are any restrictions related to mission alignment, geographic scope, past performance, registrations, or unique statutory requirements, and whether the competition is effectively limited to a particular organization. The title strongly suggests the award is intended to support the United Service Organizations (USO) and its related programming for service members and their families, but the summary record does not spell out the program scope or confirm any restrictions beyond the generic "Others" category, so the NFO is the controlling reference for that determination.

Overall, what can be taken from the listing alone is that this is a DoD/WHS mandatory grant opportunity tied to Assistance Listing 12.599, designed for a single award up to $24 million, with applications originally due mid-June 2023, and with essentially all substantive program and application requirements housed in the NFO rather than in the public description.
