Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA AMS TM 22 0004
The Tribal Seafood Pandemic Response and Safety Grant Program (TSPRS) is a discretionary grant opportunity run by the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS) to help seafood processors that are owned and operated by Federally Recognized Indian Tribes respond to the coronavirus pandemic. The program is specifically aimed at seafood processing operations, including at-sea processors and seafood dealers, and it focuses on pandemic response needs tied to COVID-19, especially steps that protect workers and improve workplace health and safety. The intent is to provide targeted financial support to tribal seafood processing businesses that faced operational and safety challenges during the pandemic.
This grant program is authorized and funded under Section 751 of the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2021 (Public Law 116-260). USDA notes that the design of the broader set of COVID-related stimulus grant programs under this law was shaped by extensive stakeholder input. That input included listening sessions held in March 2021 and written comments collected through March 30, 2021, with two sessions set aside specifically for Tribal representatives. USDA also held an additional Tribal listening session in October 2021 focused on tribal-owned seafood processors to gather more direct feedback while developing TSPRS. Background materials and information from those listening sessions are available through USDA AMS at https://www.ams.usda.gov/services/ams-covid-stimulus.
From a funding standpoint, the opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number USDA AMS TM 22 0004 and CFDA 10.181, within the Agriculture activity category. Awards are capped at an award ceiling of $500,000 per award, and USDA anticipated making around 8 awards under this solicitation. The opportunity opened with a creation/posting date of February 15, 2022, and had an application deadline (original closing date) of April 18, 2022. Complete applications had to be received by USDA no later than 11:59 PM Eastern Time on April 18, 2022.
Eligibility centers on Federally Recognized Indian Tribes (as defined under the List Act of 1994) that own and operate seafood processing entities, including at-sea processors and dealers. The eligibility listing identifies Native American tribal governments (Federally recognized) and also references “Others,” with clarification expected in the full notice under an “Additional Information on Eligibility” section. In practice, the core target applicants are tribal-owned and tribal-operated seafood processing businesses that can document their tribal status and organizational authority.
Applications for TSPRS were submitted by email rather than through an online portal. Applicants were required to email a complete application package to TSPRSgrants@usda.gov. Before applying, applicants also needed to obtain a DUNS number and complete registration in the System for Award Management (SAM). USDA directed applicants to guidance on obtaining a DUNS number and registering in SAM at https://www.ams.usda.gov/services/grants/apply-for-a-grant. The required application package consisted of three main components: the TSPRS Appendix B Application and Funding Request Form, the standard Application for Federal Assistance (SF-424), and Tribal documents of incorporation (specifically a copy of the Tribal Charter).Apply for USDA AMS TM 22 0004
