Opportunity Information: Apply for USDA AMS TM SCMP G 19 0005
The Specialty Crop Multi-State Program (SCMP) is a discretionary grant program run by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS), focused on strengthening the competitiveness of U.S. specialty crops through projects that have a clear multi-state or broad, regional/national reach. Specialty crops generally include fruits, vegetables, tree nuts, dried fruits, horticulture, and nursery crops (including floriculture). The program is designed for efforts that go beyond a single-state benefit and instead address shared challenges or opportunities across multiple states, such as coordinated research and extension, market development, food safety and quality improvements, pest and disease issues that cross state lines, and other industry-wide needs that require collaboration.
This particular funding opportunity was posted under the title "Specialty Crop Multi-State Program" with the opportunity number USDA AMS TM SCMP G 19 0005 and is categorized as a discretionary grant. The eligible applicants include state governments, special district governments, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities, private institutions of higher education, and small businesses. In practice, SCMP projects often involve partnerships among state agencies, universities, and industry stakeholders to deliver outcomes that can be shared and adopted across a region or the nation rather than remaining limited to one location.
Funding is administered as a grant under the agriculture funding activity category, listed under CFDA number 10.170. The award ceiling for this opportunity is $1,000,000 per award, and the program anticipated making approximately 75 awards. The listing information indicates the opportunity was created on June 3, 2019, with an original closing date of October 1, 2019. While those dates reflect this specific notice, the program itself is part of USDA AMS grant offerings and may be reissued in other cycles depending on appropriations and AMS priorities, so applicants typically watch AMS announcements for current-year timelines and requirements.
At a high level, SCMP is meant to fund practical, results-oriented projects that can show measurable benefits to the specialty crop sector across state boundaries. Competitive proposals generally emphasize (1) clear multi-state relevance, (2) strong partnerships and coordination among states or regional entities, (3) realistic workplans and deliverables, and (4) dissemination plans so that the lessons learned, tools created, or practices improved can be adopted widely. The program is not just looking for local activities repeated in more than one place; it is aimed at joint solutions, shared infrastructure, scalable tools, and coordinated approaches that have value to specialty crop stakeholders across multiple states.
