**Buyer:** Office of Economic Policy
**Posted:** November 12, 2026
**Identifier:** UST-SIPPRA-2027-003

The U.S. Department of the Treasury is offering FY27 SIPPRA funding for government-led projects that pay for verified social outcomes.
- **Government buyer:** United States Department of the Treasury, Office of Economic Policy.
- **Eligible applicants:** State and local governments, federally recognized Indian tribes, and qualifying interjurisdictional government groups.
- **Funding:** Up to $11.8 million total, including approximately $10.2 million for project grants and approximately $1.6 million for independent evaluations.
- **Project grants:** SIPPRA grants (part number UST-SIPPRA-2027-003) support projects with specific, measurable social outcomes that reduce government outlays. Award payments depend on independent confirmation of results and may not exceed the value of the benefit to the federal government. Projects initially rely on non-federal funds.
- **Independent evaluation:** Funding supports rigorous, independent evaluation activities. Applicants must provide an evaluation-design summary and demonstrate evaluator independence and qualifications; evaluation arrangements must address data access, privacy and security, required approvals, reporting, and payment. Evaluation funding may be up to 15% of the project grant and is payable regardless of whether outcomes are achieved.
- **Notable consideration:** Workforce development proposals receive particular consideration.
- **Products and vendors:** No hardware, commercial OEMs, or specific vendors are identified.

### Description

The U.S. Department of the Treasury invites eligible State and local governments to apply for Social Impact Partnerships to Pay for Results Act (SIPPRA) awards. Projects must achieve measurable outcomes that benefit society and reduce government outlays, with award payments contingent on an independent evaluator determining that agreed outcomes were achieved. Treasury has made up to $11.8 million available, including approximately $10.2 million for competitive project grants and up to approximately $1.6 million for independent evaluation costs. Applicants must submit evaluation design and independent evaluator information; selected awardees must complete required final documents within nine months after receiving a Notice of Award.
