Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0008553
The Iraq-Jordan International Border Guard Training Program (Funding Opportunity Number SFOP0008553) is a U.S. Department of State grant opportunity administered by the Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation under CFDA 19.901. It was issued as a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement, meaning the selected implementer would be expected to work closely with the U.S. government during planning, execution, and oversight rather than operating with complete independence. The opportunity was posted on January 21, 2022, with an original application deadline of March 25, 2022.
At its core, the program is aimed at strengthening border security capacity along the Iraq-Jordan corridor to reduce the risk of dangerous cross-border trafficking. The stated purpose is to stop proliferation-related transfers and networks and to prevent terrorist access to weapons of mass destruction (WMD), their delivery systems, and associated materials and technology. In practice, that goal also extends to limiting illicit movement of conventional weapons and other sensitive items that could support armed groups, destabilizing actors, or procurement networks. The emphasis on both proliferation and terrorism reflects a broader nonproliferation strategy: improving frontline interdiction and detection capabilities so that threats are identified and stopped before materials or equipment can be moved, sold, or repurposed.
Financially, the award has a ceiling of $920,000, with the expectation of making a single award. Because only one award was anticipated, the funded project would likely serve as the primary vehicle for designing and delivering the training package, potentially including curriculum development, instructor support, specialized workshops, and coordination with relevant border and security stakeholders. While the eligibility category is listed broadly as "Others" with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement, it generally signals that the competition may be open to a range of qualified entities beyond standard categories, depending on the specific criteria in the notice.
Overall, this opportunity is best understood as a targeted capacity-building effort designed to improve the ability of border guard personnel to detect, deter, and interdict prohibited or high-risk transfers. The ultimate policy objective is reducing the likelihood that terrorist groups or proliferation networks can exploit cross-border routes to obtain WMD-related materials, delivery system components, enabling technologies, or conventional arms that could elevate threats to regional and international security.Apply for SFOP0008553
