About this opportunity
The Department of State Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation is seeking applicants for a Cooperative Agreement under the Export Control and Related Border Security (EXBS) Program aimed at preventing advanced technologies from flowing to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). The grant opportunity focuses on engaging government and private sector entities to strengthen their capabilities in using Strategic Trade Controls (STCs) to mitigate technology acquisition risks in critical sectors such as artificial intelligence, advanced semiconductors, and quantum information science. Key contract objectives include developing mechanisms to identify and prevent weaponizable and dual-use technology transfers to CCP-affiliated actors, with a specific emphasis on engaging authorities from key economies in the supply chain. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed, the program will likely assess applicants' capabilities to develop robust technology protection strategies and international collaboration frameworks. The proposal response is due by August 6, 2025, with the opportunity originally posted on July 3, 2025.
The typical award range for EXBS Program grants falls between $200,000 and $1.6 million, with performance periods spanning two to three years. The place of performance is expected to involve multiple international locations, focusing on key economies with strategic technology supply chains. Cooperative agreements will target government and private sector entities developing or producing advanced technologies, with a particular emphasis on preventing technology transfers that could enhance the CCP's military, technological, and economic capabilities. The funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, suggesting close collaboration between the Department of State and selected recipients throughout the project's implementation.
Synopsis
This award will help government and private sector take effective measures to prevent the flow of advanced technologies to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) that would enable it to advance its military, technological, and economic dominance goals. Award activities shall include engaging and strengthening the abilities of authorities from key economies in the supply chain for a wide variety of critical technologies to use STCs and related measures to prevent the CCP and its affiliates' acquisition of weaponizable and dual-use technologies. Activities shall also engage private sector and other relevant entities developing or producing artificial intelligence models, advanced semiconductors, quantum information science and technology, and related technologies to strengthen their abilities to identify and mitigate the risk of acquisition of their technology by actors affiliated with the CCP.
