Opportunity Information: Apply for O SMART 2023 171880
The SMART FY 2023 Maintenance and Operation of the Dru Sjodin National Sex Offender Public Website (NSOPW) (Continuation) opportunity is a continuation, supplemental cooperative agreement from the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs, through the SMART Office (Office of Sex Offender Sentencing, Monitoring, Apprehending, Registering, and Tracking). Its core focus is keeping NSOPW.gov operating and effective as the federal governments national public search site that connects users to sex offender registry information from all U.S. states, the District of Columbia, U.S. territories, and participating tribal jurisdictions. The broader public-safety purpose is twofold: giving the public a single place to search for information about registered sex offenders, and improving information sharing and operational coordination among the registry officials who manage those records across jurisdictions.
NSOPW.gov is designed as a national search interface that links and queries the underlying public registry systems maintained by each jurisdiction. This award supports the ongoing work needed to ensure that jurisdictional data can be made available reliably in response to searches conducted on NSOPW.gov. In practical terms, that includes continued technical assistance and support to jurisdictions so their registry data can be accessed appropriately through the national search, and so that the overall system remains dependable, secure, and usable for public queries and inter-jurisdictional information sharing.
Beyond keeping the website itself running, the continuation funding also covers related technology tools that help jurisdictions manage the full lifecycle of registry operations. That includes tools to assist with registering and tracking individuals who are required to register, supporting the exchange of information about registered individuals between jurisdictions, and enabling community notification and public information functions tied to registry data. The intent is to strengthen the connected system around NSOPW.gov so jurisdictions can participate effectively and the public can receive consistent, accessible information through a single federal entry point.
This is a continuation opportunity (not a broad open competition) and is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally means DOJ anticipates substantial federal involvement in guiding or coordinating project activities compared to a standard grant. The opportunity is listed under CFDA 16.750 in the law, justice, and legal services category. The posted award ceiling is $1,000,000, with one expected award, reflecting that it is aimed at sustaining an existing capability rather than funding multiple new initiatives.
The statutory authority for the award comes from the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act, specifically 34 U.S.C. 20922, and the funding is provided under the Department of Justice Appropriations Act, 2023 (Public Law 117-328). The opportunity was created on September 15, 2023, with an original closing date of September 16, 2023, which is consistent with a continuation or supplemental action that is typically time-sensitive and targeted to an existing recipient or a narrow pool of eligible entities. Eligible applicants are noted as "Others" with additional eligibility details referenced in the full solicitation materials.Apply for O SMART 2023 171880
