Deltek Analyst Evan Halperin reports.
The Homeland Security Grant Program (HSGP) is integral in supporting the development and sustainment of core capabilities to fulfill the National Preparedness Goal (NPG). Three main grants fall under the HSGP: the State Homeland Security Grant Program (SHSGP), the Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI), and the Operation Stonegarden.
For fiscal year 2012 (FY 2012), the UASI allotted $490 million in grant money. Applications for the UASI program were due in May 2012 and are expected to be awarded on June 29, 2012. For the same year, the SHSGP provided $294 million, of which the awards are also expected on June 29. Vendors should be aware of agencies making purchases with these funds, as these grants require the funding to be spent in a certain amount of time.
