Description: This Federal Funding Opportunity (FFO) announces the anticipated availability for funding for the MBDA Federal Procurement Center (MFPC) pilot program, and solicits competitive applications for a project operator in the Washington-Arlington-Alexandria, DC-VA-MD Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA). The primary objective of the program is to assist Minority Business Enterprises (MBEs) across the nation in accessing and obtaining federal contract opportunities. MBDA intends to award one (1) cooperative agreement pursuant to this FFO. The total award period for the MFPC pilot project is expected to be five (5) years. A total of $400,000 in FY 2011 funds is available to fund the financial assistance award for the MFPC project identified in this FFO. The Agency also anticipates that $400,000 will be available in each of FY 2012 through FY 2013, and that $275,000 will be available in each of FY 2014 through FY 2015 to support continuation funding for this project. Note: The MFPC program is not a grant program to start or to expand an individual business. Applications must be to operate the MFPC and to provide federal procurement focused technical assistance and consulting services to eligible minority-owned firms as set forth in this FFO. Applications that do not meet these requirements will not be considered by MBDA for funding.
