About this opportunity
The Department of State Bureau of Counterterrorism is seeking a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization to provide specialized training for Yemeni law enforcement in cross-border weapons smuggling investigations through a cooperative agreement. The selected applicant must demonstrate extensive subject matter expertise in countering the trafficking of small arms, uncrewed aerial systems (UAS), and dual-use items, with critical language and cultural competencies specific to Yemen. This grant opportunity falls under the Global Counterterrorism Programs (CFDA 19.701), which aims to build foreign partner law enforcement capacity to prevent, disrupt, and investigate terrorism. Applicants will be evaluated based on their technical expertise, cultural understanding, and ability to effectively train Yemeni law enforcement in complex smuggling investigation techniques. The grant opportunity was posted on July 1, 2025, with proposals due by July 30, 2025, offering a narrow window for interested nonprofits to submit their applications.
While specific award amounts are not explicitly stated, the Global Counterterrorism Programs typically issue cooperative agreements ranging from $500,000 to $7 million, with performance periods of 12 to 36 months. The place of performance will be in Yemen, requiring the selected organization to conduct on-site training and capacity-building activities with local law enforcement agencies. The project will focus on enhancing investigative capabilities related to weapons smuggling, with an emphasis on interdicting small arms, UAS, and dual-use items that could potentially support terrorist activities. The cooperative agreement structure suggests a collaborative approach between the U.S. Department of State and the selected nonprofit organization in achieving counterterrorism objectives.
