About this opportunity
The Department of State's Bureau of Counterterrorism is seeking a nonprofit organization to implement a cooperative agreement focused on training Yemeni law enforcement in cross-border weapons smuggling investigations. The selected applicant must possess specialized subject matter expertise in countering trafficking of small arms, uncrewed aerial systems (UAS), and dual-use items, as well as demonstrate significant language and cultural expertise relevant to Yemen. Applicants will need to develop a comprehensive Performance Monitoring Plan and Logic Model that aligns with the Bureau of Counterterrorism's Functional Bureau Strategy goals of disrupting terrorist plots and eliminating sources of terrorist strength. Evaluation criteria will likely emphasize the applicant's technical capabilities, regional knowledge, and proposed approach to strengthening Yemen's investigative capacities. The grant opportunity, identified as DFOP0017368, has a proposal submission deadline of July 30, 2025, with all application materials to be submitted electronically through Grants.gov or MyGrants.
The total available funding for this opportunity is $3,946,719, with an anticipated award of at least one cooperative agreement. The performance period is flexible, ranging from 12 to 36 months, with a projected start date of September 30, 2025. The place of performance will primarily be in Yemen, with the selected organization working closely with the U.S. Mission to Yemen and the Republic of Yemen Government to train law enforcement units in identifying, watchlisting, and potentially prosecuting weapons smugglers. Travel to Yemen will be permitted for non-U.S. government personnel, subject to coordination with the U.S. Mission to Yemen Regional Security Office. The program falls under the Global Counterterrorism Programs (CFDA 19.701), which focuses on building foreign partner law enforcement capacity to combat terrorism.
