About this opportunity
The Department of State Bureau of Counterterrorism is seeking a cooperative agreement with a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization to train Yemeni law enforcement in cross-border weapons smuggling investigations. The selected applicant must possess extensive subject matter expertise in countering the trafficking of small arms, uncrewed aerial systems (UAS), and dual-use items, with critical language and cultural capabilities specific to Yemen. Key contract objectives include strengthening border control capabilities and building criminal justice practitioners' capacity to investigate and prosecute terrorist offenders. Evaluation criteria will likely focus on demonstrated counterterrorism expertise, alignment with the Counterterrorism Functional Bureau Strategy, and ability to disrupt terrorist networks. The grant opportunity has a critical application deadline of July 30, 2025, with anticipated technical review and selection to follow standard federal grant evaluation processes.
The federal grant opportunity provides up to $3,946,719 for a program performance period ranging from 12 to 36 months, with an anticipated start date of September 30, 2025. The place of performance will be in Yemen, targeting the Republic of Yemen Government's law enforcement and border control agencies. Eligible applicants include not only 501(c)(3) nonprofits, but also for-profit organizations, educational institutions, and international/governmental organizations with relevant counterterrorism capabilities. The grant is part of the Global Counterterrorism Programs (CFDA 19.701), which focuses on building foreign partner law enforcement capacity to prevent and disrupt terrorist activities.
