About this opportunity
The Technology Gateway Program (TECHGATE), administered by the Department of State's Bureau of Cyberspace and Digital Policy, seeks a cooperative agreement to facilitate large-scale cyber and digital technology knowledge transfer to eligible foreign governments. The program aims to encourage the adoption of trusted American digital solutions by supporting technology procurement, implementation, and capacity building in partner countries. Applicants must be U.S.-based non-profit or for-profit entities capable of assessing partner technology gaps, identifying requirements, procuring hardware/software, and providing sustainability roadmaps across five technology categories: fundamental hardware solutions, virtual infrastructure/software, cybersecurity solutions, digital telecommunications components, and artificial intelligence enablement. Evaluation criteria will likely focus on the applicant's ability to effectively transfer technology, build recipient capacity, and align with U.S. foreign policy objectives. The application deadline is September 2, 2025, with an anticipated award in September 2025.
The Department of State anticipates awarding a single cooperative agreement up to $13 million, with a three-year performance period targeting low and middle-income countries. The funding combines $13 million from the Economic Support Fund (ESF) and $12 million from the Appropriations for Advancing American Competitiveness and Ensuring Collaboration (AAECA). The program will focus on helping foreign government civilian agencies, critical infrastructure organizations, and select private sector entities develop skills in technology requirements identification, procurement, logistics, deployment, and configuration. Performance will be tracked through quarterly reports measuring outputs such as technology assessments, organizational reach, and quantitative metrics like number of deals supported and private sector investment leveraged.
