Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0008601
The U.S. Department of State, through the Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation, announced a discretionary grant opportunity called "Support for Libyan Customs" (Funding Opportunity Number SFOP0008601). The program is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the government expects to play an active role in coordinating or guiding major elements of the work rather than simply providing funds and stepping back. The opportunity was posted on February 9, 2022, with an original application deadline of March 25, 2022, and it is associated with CFDA 19.901.
The central purpose of the award is nonproliferation and counterterrorism: strengthening the ability to stop proliferation-related transfers and disrupt networks involved in moving sensitive items. In practical terms, the focus is on preventing terrorists or other dangerous actors from gaining access to weapons of mass destruction (WMD), their delivery systems, and the materials and technologies needed to develop or use them. The scope also explicitly includes conventional weapons, reflecting a broader concern about illicit trafficking and diversion that can fuel insecurity, conflict, or terrorist capabilities.
This opportunity is aimed at supporting Libyan customs capacity in ways that improve detection, interdiction, and prevention of illicit transfers across borders and points of entry. While the notice summary does not list specific activities, programs of this type commonly emphasize strengthening operational capabilities (such as inspection processes, targeting and risk management, interdiction coordination, and secure handling of seized materials), improving systems and procedures relevant to trade and border security, and enhancing institutional coordination that helps identify and stop suspicious shipments before they reach end users of concern.
Funding for the award was capped at $1,000,000, with an expectation of one award being made. Eligibility is listed as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement (not included in the provided text). The funding activity category is labeled "Other," indicating the work does not fit neatly into standard categories and should be interpreted using the full notice explanation. Overall, the grant is designed as a targeted, single-award effort to bolster Libyan customs-related capabilities in support of U.S. and international objectives to prevent proliferation and deny terrorists access to WMD-related items and conventional arms.Apply for SFOP0008601
