Opportunity Information: Apply for A19AC00044
The "Cheyenne and Arapaho Fire Cooperative Agreement" (Funding Opportunity Number A19AC00044) is a Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), Department of the Interior funding notice that functions as a notice of award rather than an open competition. Even though it appears in a grants listing format with an opening and closing date (created August 12, 2019, with an original closing date of September 12, 2019), the listing is explicitly not requesting applications. It states multiple times that this is "Notice of Award Only" and that proposals should not be submitted in response to the notice.
The award is structured as a Cooperative Agreement, which generally means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in how the work is carried out (for example, coordination, joint planning, or oversight), as opposed to a standard grant where the recipient typically has more independent control over execution. The activity category is Natural Resources and the CFDA (now commonly referenced as Assistance Listing) number is 15.035, aligning the effort with federal natural resource and related land management support functions.
The purpose of the agreement is operational and emergency-focused: BIA is entering into this cooperative agreement with the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma to provide emergency wildland fire response services. The scope includes responding on both Tribal and non-Tribal lands, which signals an inter-jurisdictional or mutual-aid style capability where Tribal fire resources may be mobilized beyond strictly Tribal trust lands when needed, likely in coordination with BIA and other partners involved in wildfire suppression and incident response.
Eligibility listed for the opportunity is "Native American tribal governments (Federally recognized)," and the notice indicates a single expected award (Expected Awards: 1). That aligns with the stated intent: the agreement is specifically directed to the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma rather than being a broadly competed program. The listed award ceiling is $10,000, suggesting either a small, targeted funding action, a limited-cost agreement for a defined period or tasking, or a specific supplement supporting readiness/response activities under a larger operational framework.
In practical terms, this listing is best understood as a public record entry documenting that BIA planned to make (or made) one cooperative agreement award to support emergency wildfire response capacity with the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes. It is not an opportunity that other organizations can apply for, and the central takeaway is that it formalizes federal-tribal cooperation for wildfire suppression and emergency response across multiple land jurisdictions.Apply for A19AC00044
