Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0005919
The U.S. Department of State, Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation, released a discretionary funding opportunity called "Technical Engagements on Iran Sanctions: UAE Emirates and EXBS International Partners" (Funding Opportunity Number SFOP0005919). It was posted on May 24, 2019, with an original application closing date of June 28, 2019. The Department planned to make one award under a cooperative agreement, with a maximum funding level (award ceiling) of $400,000. The opportunity sits under CFDA 19.901 and is categorized under "Other" for funding activity, reflecting a specialized nonproliferation and sanctions-implementation support effort rather than a standard program label.
At its core, the project is about building practical, usable content and providing expert support to help governments better understand and apply sanctions related to Iran. The selected recipient would develop training or briefing materials and also serve as subject matter experts on panels. These panels are meant to raise awareness and improve implementation of sanctions frameworks from multiple levels: United Nations sanctions, United States sanctions, and relevant regional government sanctions or controls. The emphasis is not simply on general education, but on improving real-world government capacity to recognize sanctions risks, spot prohibited activity, and translate policy into action.
The nonproliferation goal is explicit: strengthen awareness and enforcement in ways that inhibit Iranian proliferation-linked activities. The subject matter focus areas cover a wide range of high-concern items and programs, including weapons and conventional arms, ballistic missiles, man-portable air-defense systems (MANPADS), and chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) materials and related defense items. In practical terms, that implies the materials and expert engagements would likely address how procurement networks operate, how dual-use items may be diverted, what red flags look like in trade and shipping, and how sanctions authorities apply to specific categories of goods, technologies, and financial or logistical support that could enable proliferation.
The geographic and partnership framing highlighted in the title points to engagement connected to the United Arab Emirates and the Export Control and Related Border Security (EXBS) international partner network. That suggests the effort is designed to complement broader U.S. technical assistance goals: helping partner governments strengthen export controls, border enforcement awareness, and interagency coordination in ways that make sanctions more effective. Because the award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, the Department of State would expect to be actively involved in shaping or coordinating elements of the work, such as priorities for content, the structure of panels, audiences, and alignment with broader U.S. nonproliferation and sanctions objectives.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others" with additional details referenced in the full notice, indicating that applicants were not limited to only state or local governments and could potentially include organizations capable of providing specialized technical and policy expertise (for example, nonprofits, research institutions, or other qualified entities, depending on the notice terms). Overall, the opportunity funds a single implementer to produce sanctions-focused engagement materials and deliver expert panel support aimed at improving government understanding and implementation of Iran-related sanctions to reduce proliferation risks tied to missiles, MANPADS, and CBRN-relevant materials.Apply for SFOP0005919
