Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0009656
The U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Counterterrorism (CT) is offering a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Enhance Multi-agency Incident Command and Support National Operations" (Funding Opportunity Number SFOP0009656). The award will be made as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the Department of State expects to have substantial involvement in guiding or coordinating certain aspects of the project during implementation rather than providing a simple pass-through grant.
The core purpose of the program is to strengthen crisis response coordination in Mogadishu by supporting an interagency national operations center. The selected organization would be responsible for training and equipping that operations center so it can coordinate multi-agency incident command during terrorist attacks and other major emergencies or disasters. In practical terms, the emphasis is on improving how different agencies work together under pressure: sharing information, establishing a common operational picture, clarifying roles and responsibilities, and making coordinated decisions quickly during fast-moving incidents.
The opportunity is funded under CFDA 19.701 and is open to for-profit organizations that are not classified as small businesses, as listed in the eligibility section. The program anticipates making a single award, with an expected award ceiling of $493,827, indicating the project is scoped for one implementer and one main package of activities rather than multiple parallel awards.
This funding announcement was created on April 11, 2023, with an original application closing date of June 9, 2023. The overall intent is capacity building for national-level operational coordination: developing incident command capabilities and ensuring the operations center has the tools and training needed to manage multi-agency crisis response in Mogadishu across both terrorism-related incidents and other large-scale emergencies.Apply for SFOP0009656
