About this opportunity
The Department of State is soliciting applications for cooperative agreements to strengthen U.S. advanced technology protection from Chinese diversion across the Near East and North Africa, Western Hemisphere, and East Asia-Pacific regions, with applications due July 20, 2026.
The program operates across three geographically and functionally distinct lines of effort. LOE 1 targets the Gulf Cooperation Council region to strengthen member governments' ability to implement U.S. AI license conditions, detect and prevent diversion of U.S.-origin advanced technologies, and counter Chinese exploitation of regional transshipment hubs. LOE 2 focuses on priority Western Hemisphere countries to design and enforce fair, effective investment screening mechanisms that block Chinese access to sensitive technologies, critical infrastructure, and minerals essential to defense supply chains. LOE 3 reinforces export controls and oversight of free trade and special economic zones across ASEAN member states and Mongolia to disrupt Chinese diversion of emerging and dual-use technologies through regional trading hubs.
The program addresses China's efforts to acquire U.S.-origin advanced technologies and control critical supply-chain nodes that enable proliferation-relevant capabilities. Prospective applicants should review the complete NOFO package (DFOP0018150) for specific details regarding award values, eligibility criteria, evaluation metrics, and required deliverables across each line of effort.
Synopsis
This NOFO combats China's efforts to acquire U.S.-origin advanced technologies and control critical supply-chain nodes that enable proliferation-relevant capabilities. LOE 1 strengthens GCC governments' ability to implement U.S. AI license conditions, detect and prevent diversion of U.S.-origin advanced technologies, and counter Chinese exploitation of regional transshipment hubs. LOE 2 helps priority Western Hemisphere countries design and enforce fair, effective investment screening to block Chinese access to sensitive technologies, critical infrastructure, and minerals essential to defense supply chains. LOE 3 reinforces export controls and oversight of free trade and special economic zones across ASEAN and Mongolia to disrupt Chinese diversion of emerging and dual‑use technologies through regional trading hubs.
