to Indian Organizations for OffReservation Indian Child and Family 

Service Programs 

AGENCY: Bureau of Indian Affairs, Office 

of Indian Services. 

ACTION: Solicitation of proposals. 

SUMMARY: The Secretary of the Interior 

(Secretary), through the Bureau of 

Indian Affairs (BIA), is soliciting grants 

from Indian Organizations to establish 

and operate off-reservation Indian child 

and family service programs. The intent

child from the custody of his/her Indian 

parent or Indian custodian shall be a 

last resort. 

DATES: Grant application packages must 

be submitted no later than 5 p.m. 

Eastern Daylight Time, July 16, 2021. 

The BIA will not consider proposals 

received after this time and date. 

ADDRESSES: Grant application packages 

must be submitted through Grants.gov.

I. Background 

In Fiscal Year (FY) 2020, the Congress 

appropriated $1.0 million to fund offreservation programs authorized by 

section 202 of the ICWA (25 U.S.C. 

1932). In FY 2021, the Congress again 

allocated $1.0 million for ICWA, to fund 

off-reservation Indian Organizations 

authorized by section 202 of the ICWA 

(25 U.S.C. 1932), just as it did in the FY 

2020 appropriations. 

The BIA is the Federal agency charged 

with administering ICWA funding to 

Federally recognized Tribes and will 

distribute a total of $2.0 million (subject 

to fund availability) grants to offreservation Indian Organizations 

through a competitive grant process as 

outlined in 25 CFR 23.31–23.35, 

Subpart D., Grants to off-reservation 

Indian Organizations for Title II Indian 

Child and Family Services Programs 

which will include, but are not limited 

to: 

(1) A system for regulating, maintaining, 

and supporting Indian foster and adoptive 

homes, including a subsidy program under 

which Indian adoptive children may be 

provided support comparable to that for 

which they would be eligible as Indian foster 

children, taking into account the appropriate 

State standards of support for maintenance 

and medical needs; 

(2) the operation and maintenance of 

facilities and services for counseling and 

treatment of Indian families and Indian foster 

and adoptive children; 

(3) family assistance, including homemaker 

and home counselors, day care, afterschool 

care, and employment, recreational activities, 

and respite care; and 

(4) guidance, legal representation, and 

advice to Indian families involved in child 

custody proceedings.a

This solicitation contains guidelines 

and instructions for writing and 

submitting a proposal. The BIA will use 

a competitive evaluation process.

programs. 

V. Proposal Application Guidelines 

A. Background 

On January 13, 1994, Indian Affairs 

(IA) published in the Federal Register 

(59 FR 2248) regulations revising 25 

CFR part 23, the rules that govern the 

Title II ICWA grant program. The 

announcement converted the previous 

competitive ICWA grant award process 

to initiate a noncompetitive award 

system for eligible Federally recognized 

Tribes. 

In FY 1995, the eligible Tribes began 

to continuously access their recurring 

ICWA funds in the Tribal Priority 

Allocation (TPA) budget Subactivity 

section of the Tribe’s budget system. 

The funding process managed centrally 

by IA for off-reservation Indian 

Organizations was discontinued after 

the conversion to the noncompetitive 

process for eligible federally recognized 

Tribes. The BIA last awarded the ICWA 

off-reservation grants to Indian 

Organizations in FY 1994. Rather, some 

federally recognized Tribes have 

contracted with off-reservation Indian 

Organizations, if and where needed. 

In FY 2020, the Congress appropriated 

$1.0 million specifically to fund offreservation programs authorized by 

section 202 of the ICWA (25 U.S.C. 

1932). In FY 2021, the Congress 

allocated again $1.0 million for the 

ICWA, to fund off-reservation programs 

authorized by section 202 of the ICWA 

(25 U.S.C. 1932) for the second 

consecutive fiscal year. These are 

considered one-time funding for the 

earmark as included in the two 

consecutive fiscal year appropriations 

act. 

The BIA will distribute the FY 2020 

and FY 2021 funding to off-reservation 

Indian Organizations through a 

competitive grant process as outlined in 

25 CFR 23.31–23.35, in subpart D, 

Grants to Off-reservation Indian 

Organizations for Title II Indian Child 

and Family Services Programs. 

B. Items To Consider Before Preparing 

an Application, Funding Limitations, 2- 

Year Timeframes and No-Cost 

Extensions 

Awards are subject to available 

funding. The BIA’s obligation under this 

solicitation notice is contingent on 

receipt of available appropriated funds. 

No liability on part of the U.S. 

Government for any payment may arise 

until funds are made available to the 

awarding officer for this grant. No 

liability may arise until the recipient 

receives notice of such availability and 

is confirmed in writing by the grants 

officer.

To print confirmation page: 

• Go to www.sam.gov. 

• Click on ‘‘Search Records.’’ 

• Click on ‘‘Quick Search’’ or ‘‘DUNS 

Number Search’’ or ‘‘CAGE Code 

Search’’ query boxes to enter tribe’s 

information (any of these should work). 

• Click ‘‘Search.’’ 

• If correct Entity Name and 

information are displayed, click ‘‘Save

3. Excluded Entities: 

Applicant entities identified in the 

SAM.gov Exclusions database as 

ineligible, prohibited/restricted or 

excluded from receiving Federal 

awards, certain subawards, and certain 

Federal assistance and benefits, will not 

be considered for Federal funding, as 

applicable to the funding being 

requested under this Federal program. 

4. Registration in ASAP with BIA: 

Although a Tribe or Indian 

Organization may be registered in in the 

Automated Standard Application for 

Payments (ASAP) already with another 

agency, it must be specifically enrolled 

with the BIA. To register in ASAP, an 

enrollment form must be completed and 

emailed to Jo Ann Metcalfe at 

jo.metcalfe@bia.gov. As soon as the 

Tribe is enrolled, a user ID will be 

emailed to the point of contact listed on 

the enrollment form. Next, a password 

will automatically be mailed by USPS to 

the tribe, but you can call the ASAP 

Help Desk at 855–868–0151 and press 2 

then 3 to reach an agent who can help 

to request a password via email to 

expedite the process. Upon receiving a 

password, you will then have access to 

your online ASAP account to name the 

required roles for setup—this process is 

not immediate. To complete the process, 

call the ASAP Help Desk again and 

remain on the line with them while they 

assist you in setting up and linking the 

Tribe’s banking information to BIA’s 

Agency Locator Code (ALC/Region). 

BIA’s ALC is 14200699. Once this is 

completed, you will receive a 

confirmation email and it will take the 

Treasury 5–10 business days to approve 

your ASAP enrollment with BIA. This 

process only needs to be done once and 

does not need to be regularly updated 

unless the Tribal staff changes who is 

named as the primary role in ASAP set 

up.
