equipment, publications and technical
documentation, U.S. Government and
contractor engineering, technical, and
logistics support services, and other
related elements of logistics support.
The estimated cost is $1.2 billion.
This proposed sale will contribute to
the foreign policy and national security
of the United States by helping to
improve the security of Saudi Arabia
which has been, and continues to be, an
important force for stability in the
Middle East. This sale of Mark V patrol
boats will give the Royal Saudi Naval
Forces (RSNF) an effective combat and
threat deterrent capability to protect
maritime infrastructure in the Saudi
littorals. This acquisition will enhance
the stability and security operations for
boundaries and territorial areas
encompassing the Saudi Arabian
coastline.
The purchase of Mark V patrol boats
represents an upgrade and
modernization of the RSNF’s existing
patrol boat capability. The proposed
sale will enhance interoperability
between the U.S. and the Kingdom of
Saudi Arabia and will contribute to the
stability in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
and the region. The Mark V patrol boats
will provide additional capability to
rapidly identify, engage, and defeat
maritime security threats in the nearoffshore region of the Saudi littorals.
The boats will be used primarily to
patrol and interdict intruders in Saudi
territorial seas, and recognized
economic exclusion zones. Saudi Arabia
will have no difficulty absorbing these
additional boats.
The proposed sale of this equipment
and support will not alter the basic
military balance in the region.
The principal contractor for this effort
has not yet been determined. There are
no known offset agreements proposed in
connection with this potential sale.
Implementation of this proposed sale
will require an additional three to four
U.S. Government and contractor
representatives to Saudi Arabia for a
period of seven years to provide
logistics and technical support and
warranty work during delivery of the
boats.
There will be no adverse impact on
U.S. defense readiness as a result of this
proposed sale.

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
Office of the Secretary
Office of Economic Adjustment; Notice
of Cooperative Agreement
Federal Funding Opportunity Title:
Research and Technical Assistance.
Announcement Type: Cooperative
Agreement.
Catalog of Federal Domestic
Assistance (CFDA) Number: 12.615.
Key Dates: The proposal submission
deadline is thirty (30) days after the
publication of this notice.
Executive Summary: This notice
announces the opportunity to enter into
a cooperative agreement with the Office
of Economic Adjustment (OEA) for
Research and Technical Assistance
(RTA) and invites proposals to continue
to provide economic data to Defenseimpacted communities. The OEA is
authorized by 10 U.S.C. 2391 to make
grants to, or conclude cooperative
agreements or enter into contracts with,
a State or local government or any
private entity to conduct research and
provide technical assistance in support
of the Defense Economic Adjustment
Program, and to assist communities,
businesses and workers responding to
Defense changes under 10 U.S.C. 2391
and Executive Order 12788, as
amended. OEA is the Department of
Defense’s primary source for assisting
communities that are adversely
impacted by Defense program changes,
including base closures or realignments
and contract or program reductions or
cancellations. Awards provided under
this announcement support the Defense
Economic Adjustment Program by
providing: (1) Analysis and
dissemination of information; and (2)
support to innovative approaches.
I. Funding Opportunity Description
OEA, a Department of Defense (DoD)
Field Activity, is authorized to make
grants to, or conclude cooperative
agreements or enter into contracts with,
state or local governments or any private
entity, to conduct research and provide
technical assistance in support of its

program activities under 10 U.S.C. 2391
and Executive Order 12788, as
amended.
On December 31, 2008, OEA
published a Federal Funding
Opportunity in the Federal Register (73
FR 80369–80371), and through a
competitive process selected the
University of Illinois—Chicago
(University) to provide economic data
for 56 Defense-impacted communities.
The University conducted a multi-phase
approach to provide data and analysis
for these communities. Phase I entailed
identification, collection, and
preliminary analysis of baseline
indicators that collectively formed the
backbone of the project. Phase II
entailed reaching out to communities
and refining the baseline data indicators
based on community needs. The
University also produced a broad array
of reports and analytical products;
developed tools for the systematic
analysis of communities’ development
trends and challenges; and provided
detailed customized data and reports to
communities. The University designed,
manages, and hosts on their server the
Web site
www.defensecommunitydata.com, to
share the baseline data tracked through
the current cooperative agreement with
the target communities, as well as
Federal, state, and local agencies.
1. Description of opportunity—
Pursuant to the Research and Technical
Assistance program, OEA is soliciting
proposals that will result in a
cooperative agreement to provide
economic indicators on a recurring basis
to approximately 80 Defense-impacted
locations engaged in defense economic
adjustment. OEA works with
communities/regions experiencing base
closure, realignment, and reductions in
or cancellations of DoD spending.
Implementation of a community’s plan
to redevelop surplus property (base
closure) or address reductions in
defense procurement may be impacted
by changing economic conditions,
including, but not limited to, declining
home values, rising unemployment,
declining tax revenue, and housing/
business starts. Specifically, OEA is
seeking proposals to continue to provide
information to its program customer
base on: (1) Adjusted monthly and
quarterly economic data for
approximately 80 communities with
Defense impacts; and (2) a national
baseline for identified economic
indicators. This information was and
will continue to be developed with and
for the affected communities, and
posted on the Internet to further assist
OEA’s community, state, and other
customers in the coordination and
