SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

On February 16, 2022, we published the NIA in the Federal Register (87 FR 8812). The NIA established a deadline date of April 4, 2022, for the transmittal of applications. This notice extends the deadline date for transmittal of applications until April 11, 2022, as well as the deadline for intergovernmental review.

We are extending the deadline date for transmittal of applications to allow applicants more time to prepare and submit their applications. On April 4, 2022, the Department is transitioning from use of the Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) to the Unique Entity Identifier (UEI). To avoid any conflicts with submitting applications during the transition period, we are extending the deadline date for transmittal of applications. Applicants that have submitted applications on or before the original deadline date of April 4, 2022, may resubmit their applications on or before the new application deadline date of April 11, 2022, but are not required to do so. If a new application is not submitted, the Department will use the application that was submitted by the original deadline. If a new application is submitted, the Department will consider the application that was last successfully submitted and received by 11:59:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on April 11, 2022.

Note:

All information in the NIA for this competition remains the same, except for the deadline for the transmittal of applications and the deadline for intergovernmental review.
