About this opportunity
The Department of State US Embassy Mexico is seeking a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization to implement a cooperative agreement focused on improving Mexican law enforcement and prosecutorial capabilities. The primary objective is to enhance the effectiveness of vetted and special unit operations by addressing critical gaps in evidence handling, report writing, and legal interoperability. Key contract requirements include developing strategies to improve the legality, quality, and success of detentions, seizures, and prosecutions along the U.S.-Mexico border. The grant falls under the Criminal Justice Systems program (CFDA 19.703), which aims to institutionalize rule of law and strengthen international criminal justice systems. Interested applicants must submit their proposals by March 6, 2026, with the project directly supporting U.S. national security interests by bolstering cross-border law enforcement cooperation.
While specific award amounts are not explicitly stated, the grant is part of the Department of State's Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs program, which has historically awarded cooperative agreements ranging from $3,500 to $820,721. The place of performance will be in Mexico, focusing on frontline law enforcement and prosecutorial units working in partnership with U.S. supported special operations teams. The project is expected to have a defined implementation timeline aligned with the fiscal year, with a focus on developing sustainable improvements in criminal justice system capabilities. This initiative represents a targeted approach to enhancing bilateral law enforcement effectiveness and addressing shared security challenges between the United States and Mexico.
