Mission
The mission of the Agreements Division is to manage the Cooperative Agreement and Federal Support Agreement Programs.
Services
Cooperative Agreement Program Role: Manage the Master Cooperative Agreement (MCA) and each individual Cooperative Agreement (CA), Military Construction Cooperative Agreement (MCCA), and Special Military Project Cooperative Agreement (SMPCA). Cooperative Agreements are typically entered into by the National Guard Bureau (NGB) (via the USPFO/Grants Officer) and the State (via the California Military Department (CMD)). Cooperative Agreements are funded through Department of Defense (DoD) appropriations for Army National Guard (ARNG) and Air National Guard (ANG) to conduct construction, minor construction, maintenance, repair, or operation of facilities, and mission operational support. The Grants Officer Representatives (GOR) are appointed by the USPFO/Grants Officer to perform the day to day administrative actions and technical monitoring of the Cooperative Agreement Program.
Federal Support Agreement Program Role: Manage all Federal Support Agreements for the California Army National Guard (CAARNG) and California Air National Guard (CAANG) by monitoring and assisting with the preparation, staffing, and approval of Support Agreements. Support Agreements document the terms and conditions whereby CAARNG and CAANG provide or receive reimbursable or non-reimbursable support from other governmental or non-governmental activities. Support Agreements may be Intragovernment (Federal to/from Federal), Intergovernmental (Federal to/from State, local, or tribal) or, in limited instances, Federal to Non-Governmental (i.e. congressionally chartered nonprofit organizations). Federal Support agreements are those that involve Federal funding, property, or personnel. The USPFO is the sole approval authority for Federal Support Agreements. The Support Agreement Managers (SAM) are appointed by the USPFO to manage the Support Agreement Program.
