L. 116-283, January 1, 2021) (“NDAA”) and the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (Pub. L. 116-260, December 27, 2020) (“FY21 Appropriations Act” or the “Act”), authorized and appropriated $230 million for the Port Infrastructure Development Program (PIDP) to make grants to improve facilities within, or outside of and directly related to operations of or an intermodal connection to, coastal seaports, inland river ports, and Great Lakes ports.

Additionally, the NDAA directed that not less than $41.4 million shall be for projects at small ports and terminals meeting certain requirements described in this NOFO. Funds for the PIDP are to be awarded as discretionary grants on a competitive basis for projects that will improve the safety, efficiency, or reliability of the movement of goods into, out of, around, or within a port. All PIDP grant recipients must meet all applicable Federal requirements, including the Buy American Act. The purpose of this notice is to solicit grant applications for the PIDP.Supplemental Information.
