About this opportunity
The Department of State's Bureau of Political Military Affairs is seeking a cooperative agreement with a 501(c)(3) nonprofit to provide operational mentorship and capacity building for the Somali National Army-Danab (SNA-Danab). The project aims to advance mission command activities at the brigade level, support stabilization mechanisms, improve territorial security, and enhance force management and operational effectiveness. Key objectives include facilitating SNA force integration, improving operational capability to counter terrorist organizations, and building accountability and sustainment capabilities. Applicants will be evaluated based on their ability to deliver comprehensive mentorship and capacity-building services in Somalia, with a focus on operational planning, medical treatment, and community engagement. The application deadline is August 31, 2025, at 11:59 PM EST, with proposals requiring a detailed narrative, budget, monitoring and evaluation plan, and other supporting documentation.
The total funding ceiling for this cooperative agreement is $10,000,000, with an anticipated single award to be made. The period of performance is 12-18 months, with project activities primarily occurring in Mogadishu and central and southern Somalia. The budget template provided indicates a detailed financial breakdown, with line-item allocations across categories such as Personnel, Fringe Benefits, Travel, Equipment, Supplies, Contractual, and Other Direct Costs. The project will be funded under the Regional Peace and Security program (CFDA 19.979) and requires a minimal cost-share of $100, with options for using a standard 15% Modified Total Direct Cost (MTDC) indirect cost rate.
Synopsis
The project will continue and advance mentorship of the SNA-Danab on the execution of mission command activities at the brigade level and below. Operational mentorship activities will include those activities that support stabilization mechanisms to secure Somali territory, accountability measures to promote SNA-Danab self-sustainment and readiness, and operational capacity to improve force management and operational effectiveness.
