Interested organizations must submit responses by the deadline of August 28, 2026, under solicitation number OFOP0003436, which was posted on July 29, 2026. The competition is open to entities capable of delivering effective English language instruction in the designated regions, with performance expected to meet the standards and objectives set by the U.S. Department of State. All inquiries and communications should be directed to the point of contact listed under U.S. Mission to Iraq, and further details are available through the official grants.gov portal.
