Written by GovTribe AI ·

The file is an email exchange between an IBM representative and the Department of State regarding the Technology Gateway Program (TECHGATE), Funding Opportunity DFOP0017381, which is a cooperative agreement under the Cyberspace and Digital Policy Federal Grant Program (CFDA 19.665). The program aims to foster large-scale cyber and digital technology knowledge transfer to eligible foreign governments, supporting U.S. foreign policy and national security objectives by encouraging the adoption of trusted American digital solutions.

The specific email interaction focuses on clarifying subgrantee eligibility, with the Department of State confirming that subgrantees are allowable under the cooperative agreement for both discrete scopes of work and long-term staffing. The program emphasizes capacity building and economic sustainability, helping recipient countries develop skills in requirements identification, procurement, logistics, deployment, and configuration. While specific award amounts are not detailed in this email, the related grant program typically awards between $300,000 to $9,999,715 with performance periods of 18 to 36 months, targeting low and middle-income countries to enhance international digital infrastructure and cybersecurity capabilities.
