About this opportunity
The Department of State seeks applicants for a cooperative agreement to enhance protective measures for critical minerals supply chain security, with applications due July 20, 2026. The initiative addresses export controls, customs screening, and investment screening across key critical mineral producers and transit states worldwide, targeting mitigation of acquisition by U.S. adversaries and protection of supply chains from predatory and illicit practices to strengthen U.S. national and economic security.
The opportunity falls under the Export Controls and Investment Screening for Critical Minerals Supply Chain program administered by ACN/EXBS (likely the Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation or similar State Department bureau). The source does not specify eligible applicant categories, cost share or matching requirements, award ceiling or floor, expected number of awards, period of performance, place of performance beyond "worldwide," evaluation criteria, or the Assistance Listing / CFDA number. The attached NOFO package file was inaccessible at the time of this summary; those details are contained in the full package and should be reviewed directly via the government file referenced in the posting.
Synopsis
This NOFO seeks to enhance protective measures for the supply chain of critical minerals, which are commodities of proliferation concern due to their prevalence in countless dual-use items. ACN/EXBS seeks an implementer to bolster export controls, customs screening, and investment screening across key critical mineral producers and transit states worldwide to mitigate their acquisition by U.S. adversaries, while securing supply chains from predatory and illicit practices to bolster U.S. national and economic security.
