About this file
This file is a Questions and Answers document for federal grant opportunity OFOP0002567, "Accelerating Prosecution of Criminals and Terrorists in Lebanon by Digitizing Paper Criminal Court Files," issued by the Department of State's Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) under the Criminal Justice Systems program (CFDA 19.703). The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement. The Q&A clarifies two key points: (1) for-profit organizations are ineligible to apply per Section C of the Notice of Funding Opportunity, as INL retains discretionary authority to limit eligibility to specific organization categories for programmatic, statutory, or policy reasons, and (2) the partner's DocuWare system operates on-premises only and is not cloud-based.
The underlying grant opportunity aims to digitize criminal court files in Lebanon to expedite investigations and prosecutions of individuals associated with Foreign Terrorist Organizations and Transnational Criminal Organizations that threaten U.S. interests. The digitization project will strengthen collaboration between U.S. and Lebanese law enforcement agencies, enabling access to criminal case files in minutes rather than months, thereby supporting U.S. national security objectives and enhancing the ability to investigate and disrupt FTO and TCO activities in the region.

Questions and Answers for Digitizing Paper Criminal Court Files in Lebanon
OFOP0002567
Date: April 8, 2026
Question 1:
Per Section C of the NOFO, for-profit organizations are not eligible to apply. Can the State Department clarify on what basis are for-profit organizations excluded from applying? For-profit organizations often implement cooperative agreements and grants without collecting profit.
INL Response:
As required by Department policy, the issuing bureau (INL) has the discretion to define which types of organizations are eligible to apply for a particular funding opportunity. For programmatic, statutory, or policy reasons, INL may choose to limit eligibility to certain categories of organizations and exclude others, such as for-profit entities. Any such limitation must be clearly communicated in the NOFO. For INL Notices of Funding Opportunity, for profit organizations are not eligible to apply.
Question 2:
Could you please clarify whether the partner’s DocuWare system is only on-premises, or if it is also stored and managed via DocuWare Cloud?
INL Response:
The docuware system is only on premises.
