Opportunity Information: Apply for O BJA 2021 60013
The Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) FY 2021 "Invited to Apply - Presidential Nominating Conventions" opportunity is a discretionary federal grant intended to support law enforcement activities tied specifically to presidential nominating convention-related needs. The funding is made available under the Department of Justice Appropriations Act, 2020 (Public Law 116-93), which authorizes DOJ to distribute appropriated funds for grants connected to security and law enforcement operations associated with these major national events. In this case, the opportunity is aimed at activities in Baltimore, Maryland, reflecting a targeted, event-driven public safety purpose rather than a broad, nationwide competitive program.
This solicitation is identified by Funding Opportunity Number O-BJA-2021-60013 and is administered by the U.S. Department of Justice, Bureau of Justice Assistance. The assistance listing is CFDA 16.751. The instrument type is a grant, and the opportunity is categorized as discretionary, meaning awards are made at the agency's discretion rather than through a formula allocation. The posting indicates an award ceiling of $90,000. The opportunity was created on January 14, 2021, with an original closing date of January 29, 2021, suggesting a short application window consistent with an invited or limited-scope funding action.
The program is structured to fund operational law enforcement costs and related activities that are directly associated with the presidential nominating conventions. While the notice does not itemize allowable cost categories in detail, the central purpose is clear: support for public safety planning, coordination, and law enforcement operations linked to convention-related demands. Because the authority is tied to convention-related law enforcement activities, applicants would generally be expected to justify expenses based on concrete operational needs, such as staffing, overtime, equipment or logistical support, coordination functions, or other eligible public safety measures that align with DOJ and OJP grant rules.
A key condition emphasized in the notice is a strict prohibition on profit and management fees. All recipients and subrecipients, including any for-profit organization involved, must forgo any profit or management fee under this award. In practical terms, this means funds must be used strictly for allowable project costs, and organizations cannot add a profit margin or charge a management fee simply for administering the grant. This requirement applies throughout the funding chain, so even subcontracting or subawards must be structured to comply with the no-profit/no-management-fee rule.
The notice also explains how partnerships and multi-entity implementation can be handled. BJA will consider applications where two or more entities would carry out the federal award, but only one entity may submit as the official applicant. Any additional participating organizations must be included as subrecipients (subgrantees) rather than co-applicants. This setup matters for accountability: the primary applicant remains responsible for overall compliance, reporting, and financial management, while subrecipients operate under subaward agreements. For guidance on structuring and managing subawards, the notice directs applicants to the OJP Grant Application Resource Guide, which typically covers required documentation, monitoring expectations, and compliance responsibilities.
Overall, this is a targeted BJA funding opportunity, invited in nature, aimed at supporting law enforcement activities related to presidential nominating convention needs in Baltimore, with a maximum award amount of $90,000, a short submission period, and clear constraints on profit and fee-taking across both recipients and subrecipients.Apply for O BJA 2021 60013
