Section 1122
What does Section 1122 mean to you? It means that if you are a local fire
department, paid fire department, or law enforcement agency you can receive
funding through GSA pricing for a mobile command, fire safety house, prep
house, sprinkler demo unit or any of our community policing trailers. You
must contact your
state point of contact to discuss if you are eligible.
Section 1122 of the Fiscal Year 1994 National Defense Authorization Act
established the authority for state and local governments to purchase law
enforcement equipment through federal procurement channels, provided that
the equipment is used in the performance of counter drug activities. The
authority for the 1122 Program resides with the Department of Defense. The
U.S. Army, as the Executive Agent of the program, has formed a steering
committee consisting of representatives from GSA, the Defense Logistics
Agency (DLA), and the Department of Justice (DOJ). Under the provisions of
the statute, GSA is responsible for the development of a catalog, which not
only explains the 1122 Program, but also delineates those products that may
be procured under the program.
Each state participating in the 1122 Program designates a State Point Of
Contact (SPOC) to administer the state's activities under the program, by
validating the counter drug mission of each procurement request, and
ensuring the availability of funds. To date, forty-five (45) states have
elected to participate in the 1122 Program.
With the approval of the Executive Agent, GSA has approved certain
equipment included in GSA Schedules and the purchase of motor vehicles under
the program. Refer to the
list of available equipment" page.
The State Points of Contact (SPOCs) are responsible for receiving all
orders from state and local law enforcement entities, and for determining
that the items will be used for counter drug activities. For items under
Federal Supply Schedules, the SPOCs will send all orders directly to the
Schedule contractor, payment will also be made directly to the Schedule
contractor. Orders for the purchase of vehicles (except for the Command
Centers on 23 V, which can either be placed directly with the contractor or
forwarded to GSA) must be forwarded by the SPOC through GSA.
GSA's point of contact for this program is Ms. Zoe-Ann Freitag. Ms.
Frietag's telephone number in Arlington, VA, is (703) 308-4660.

Tips for Winning Grants
When thinking about your fire safety program, think big. Include with
your SCOTTY Fire Safety House, Sprinkler Demo Unit, or PREP House an
assortment of fire education tools. You can request smoke detectors,
batteries, and stovetop fire suppression units for the elderly, posters
for elementary schools, coloring books for the students, a fire truck
cruiser robot, etc.
The more complete your program is, the better it looks to FEMA grant
reviewers.
Enlist the help of local community residents in forming a
partnership. Elementary and secondary school teachers can write up
educational curriculums geared to grade-specific students; local
organizations such as the Lions Club and the Rotary Club can serve as
volunteers during special educational events. Pair up with a nationally
known insurance company in spreading the word about fire prevention. DHS FP&S Grants
Department of Homeland Security
What does a Department of Homeland Security Grant mean for you? If
you are interested in projects that include fire prevention and public
safety education then you can apply for a Fire Prevention and Safety Grant
(FP&S). This will allow you to purchase a Fire Safety House, Sprinkler Demo
Unit, or PREP House from Mobile Concepts by Scotty.
