Opportunity Information: Apply for DHS 22 NPD 040 000 99
The FY 2022 Chemical Stockpile Emergency Preparedness Program (CSEPP) grant opportunity is a FEMA-administered, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) discretionary funding program (CFDA 97.040) offered as a cooperative agreement under the Disaster Prevention and Relief activity category. This particular posting is not a brand-new program launch; it is a continuation Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) tied to a NOFO that was originally reviewed and approved in FY 2020. In practical terms, the FY 2022 NOFO is meant to support the third year of an existing multi-year award structure, continuing funding for current recipients as they carry out ongoing chemical stockpile emergency preparedness capabilities.
The overall period of performance for the program is 60 months (five years) and is divided into five budget periods. The FY 2022 continuation award corresponds specifically to budget period 3, and that budget period covers 24 months. While the program is designed around a five-year arc, funding for future budget periods is not automatic. Continued support beyond the current budget period depends on several standard federal grant factors: the availability of appropriated funds, continued program authority, satisfactory recipient performance, and compliance with the award’s terms and conditions. Because this is administered as a cooperative agreement rather than a simple grant, recipients should also expect a higher level of federal involvement and coordination in program execution, consistent with how FEMA typically manages cooperative preparedness programs.
The NOFO explicitly authorizes pre-award costs for this budget period. That means recipients may be allowed to incur certain allowable costs before the formal start of the budget period or before the award is finalized, as long as those costs meet federal allowability rules and align with the approved scope of work and budget. The continuation guidance also addresses schedule and funding flexibility. Extensions are allowed both for the overall period of performance and for the current budget period, but extensions must follow the procedural requirements described in the program’s “Allowability of Extensions” provisions (referenced in the underlying FY 2020 NOFO). Similarly, if a recipient has unobligated funds remaining and wants to carry those balances into later budget periods, the request must follow the same procedural pathway used for extension requests. In other words, carryforward is not assumed; it is something recipients must formally request and justify according to FEMA’s stated process.
Eligibility is limited to state governments, and the opportunity anticipates a very small number of awards (expected awards: 2), indicating this continuation funding is tailored to a limited set of established CSEPP participants rather than a broad open competition. The posting lists no award ceiling (shown as 0), which commonly indicates that the amount is determined by appropriations, program needs, and negotiated budgets rather than a single published maximum per applicant.
Key administrative details include the opportunity number DHS 22 NPD 040 000 99, a creation date of April 27, 2022, and an original closing date of May 27, 2022. Applicants are directed to use the specified sections of the continuation memorandum for the FY 2022 application submission process, and where details are not included in that memo, the previously approved FY 2020 CSEPP NOFO serves as the controlling reference document for program requirements, expectations, and terms.
