Solicitation # DFOP0019538
This program, under solicitation DFOP0019538, is designed by the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor within the U.S. Department of State to disrupt forced labor and illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing in global seafood supply chains, targeting countries in East Asia and the Pacific that have signed Agreements on Reciprocal Trade—excluding Indonesia and the Philippines—as well as nations in the Western Hemisphere and other strategically significant partners whose engagement supports U.S. economic, trade, and maritime interests. The project operates over a 24-month performance period from September 30, 2026, to September 30, 2028, with a total estimated funding of $349,005, allocated across direct and indirect costs through a grant structure rather than a traditional contract, with no CLINs or formal line-item pricing. Proposals must be submitted electronically via Grants.gov or MyGrants by September 3, 2026, and require an active UEI and SAM.gov registration. Evaluation is based on technical merit across six factors: program quality and feasibility, organizational capacity including subaward management and financial systems, ability to achieve objectives, budget realism, monitoring and evaluation rigor with defined indicators and external assessments, and long-term sustainability. The award process employs a trade-off approach, prioritizing technical excellence over price, with tie-breaking favoring applicants with lower indirect cost rates. Compliance with federal regulations including 2 CFR 200, 2 CFR 175 (Trafficking in Persons), and 2 CFR 182 (Drug-Free Workplace) is mandatory, requiring grantees to implement a human trafficking compliance plan and maintain a drug-free workplace policy. Indirect costs must be supported by a negotiated indirect cost rate agreement, and the use of unmanned aircraft systems is restricted. All materials must be submitted in English using specified formatting rules, including 12-point Times New Roman font and strict page limits. The U.S. Government has no formal contracting officer, COR, or COTR assigned in this solicitation; oversight is administrative and conducted by the Grants Officer. Acceptance and inspection of deliverables fall to the recipient, who must ensure compliance with procurement and accountability standards under federal award regulations. Promotion and visibility of U.S. Government funding must adhere to State Department branding guidelines under 2 CFR Part 200 and 10 FAM 416.

Fair Housing Initiatives Program - Education and Outreach Initiative
Solicitation # OFH-2600-DC-021A
The Fair Housing Initiatives Program – Education and Outreach Initiative, administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, aims to prevent and eliminate discriminatory housing practices by funding eligible organizations to conduct public education and outreach efforts. The initiative operates through two main components: the National Media Campaign, which focuses on centralized, nationwide media products and includes targeted efforts to boost participation in Annual Fair Housing Month, and the General Component, which supports localized, community-based programs across the country. Both components require strict oversight by HUD, which retains approval authority over all deliverables, work plans, and statements of work, and actively participates in their development and implementation. Funding is distributed through competitive grants and cooperative agreements, with the majority awarded as grants to regional and local entities. National-level efforts, however, are administered under cooperative agreements managed by HUD Headquarters due to their broader impact and the need for heightened federal oversight and departmental review. HUD conducts regular monitoring, requests quarterly progress reports, and maintains control over the content and delivery of all educational materials. The program is forecasted to be available for applications starting June 18, 2026, with inquiries directed to Katherine Vasilopoulos at the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
