About this opportunity
The U.S. Department of State Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs (INL) is seeking qualified organizations to provide comprehensive logistical and administrative support services to INL San Jose, including travel coordination, event management, and database/reporting systems for law enforcement training and international engagement activities. Eligible applicants include U.S.-based and foreign-based non-profit organizations and educational institutions that must obtain a Unique Entity Identifier and maintain active SAM.gov registration. Key requirements include arranging travel for 1,000-3,000 annual participants across events, managing participant advances and reimbursements, securing competitive rates for transportation and lodging, providing interpretation/translation services, and submitting quarterly performance reports through the INL's DevResults system. Recipients must comply with State Department procurement policies, Leahy Amendment vetting requirements for Costa Rican officials, and federal anti-discrimination and trafficking-in-persons standards. The application deadline is February 6, 2026, with questions due by January 30, 2026, and the estimated project start date is March 2026.
This Cooperative Agreement offers a single award with total available funding of $2,766,000 for a 24-month performance period, with applicants required to request between $1,000,000 and $2,766,000. The project will support approximately 1,000-3,000 annual participants attending events ranging from one day to six months in duration, with services directly supporting the expansion of host government attendance at critical trainings and law enforcement cooperation events with U.S. counterparts. Performance will take place primarily in Costa Rica at the INL San Jose office, with funding provided through FY21/22 and FY22/23 International Narcotics Control and Law Enforcement (INCLE) appropriations under the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961.
Synopsis
2 versions
Update #2 · Latest ·
To carry out a project to provide INL San Jose with efficient logistical and administrative customized support services that facilitate its travel and training activities, increasing INL San Jose's capacity and flexibility to expand host government attendance at critical trainings or events with U.S. law enforcement counterparts.
The proposed project directly advances the America First initiative by strengthening U.S. national security interests in the region, maximizing efficiency of U.S. government resources, and ensuring measurable returns on U.S. foreign assistance investments. By providing efficient, customized logistical and administrative support to INL San Jose, the project enhances the U.S. Department of State's ability to combat transnational crime, narcotics trafficking, and corruption-threats that directly affect the safety of the American people and the integrity of U.S. borders.
The project emphasizes cost-effective operations and operational agility, enabling INL San Jose to expand host-government participation in training and law enforcement cooperation without increasing long-term U.S. staffing or overhead. This aligns with America First principles by ensuring that U.S. engagement abroad is strategic, targeted, and results-driven.
