This contract supports the Bureau's programs and initiatives related to diplomacy and foreign policy objectives in the region. Additionally, Lab-Co was awarded a $25,000 firm fixed price purchase order on September 26, 2023, also for educational training services in El Salvador, with a performance period from September 26, 2023, through December 12, 2023. Both contracts were awarded without set-aside designations, indicating open competition. These awards highlight Lab-Co's role in providing specialized educational training that supports the Department of State's diplomatic and foreign policy objectives in El Salvador and the broader Western Hemisphere region.

In addition to its contract work, Lab-Co has received federal grant sub-awards through Chemonics International, Inc. as the prime grantee.

These grant-funded activities showcase Lab-Co's involvement in collaborative efforts to address public safety and security challenges in Latin America. The organization's work under these sub-awards likely involves conducting research, analyzing data, and sharing knowledge that contributes to the development of effective strategies for improving citizen security and reducing crime and violence in the region.
