Applications for 2025 5311 A/O Baseline Allocations and 5310 Operating and Mobility Management services continuing from CY2024 are not included, as requests for those services were previously collected via survey in August 2024.

All applications are due to DTR via submission in COTRAMS, DTR's online award management system, as designated in the NOFA.
