Opportunity Summary:
The "Implementation of Labor Law Project Vietnam" opportunity is a Notice of Intent published by the US Department of Labor (USDOL), specifically the Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB), indicating its plan to fund a single cooperative agreement to continue work supporting Vietnam as it implements new labor legislation. The central aim of the project is to help Vietnam translate its new labor law into workable regulations that align with International Labor Standards, while also making sure the key stakeholders who will apply and enforce these rules understand them and can use them effectively in real workplaces. A major emphasis is on strengthening the capacity of the tripartite partners (government, employers, and workers and their representatives) so they can apply the new legal framework in practice and support more stable, constructive industrial relations as the changes roll out.
This announcement is not a competitive grant solicitation and is not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice that ILAB intended to make the award without full and open competition. ILAB cited Department of Labor Manual Series 2, Chapter 830, section 836G(3), which allows a noncompetitive award when a recipient has unique qualifications necessary to carry out the funded activity. In the rationale provided, ILAB stated that the International Labor Organization (ILO) is uniquely positioned to deliver the Vietnam Labor Law Implementation Project because it is the internationally recognized labor standards body and has the confidence of the Vietnamese government to engage on sensitive labor policy issues. ILAB also pointed to the ILO's strong in-country presence and its ability to rapidly bring significant technical expertise and resources to the project, allowing the work to proceed in a timely way.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the opportunity was listed under the category "Other" and uses a cooperative agreement, meaning USDOL would expect to remain substantially involved in the project as it is carried out, rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal participation. The opportunity was posted on August 24, 2012, with an original and current closing date of September 30, 2012, and later archived on October 30, 2012. The expected number of awards was one, with an estimated total funding amount of $1,000,000 and an award ceiling of $1,000,000 (with no stated award floor). There was no cost sharing or matching requirement. The listing indicates "Eligible Applicants: Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," but the substance of the notice makes clear that the purpose was to announce ILAB's intent to fund the ILO directly rather than open the project to competition.
Key administrative identifiers included Funding Opportunity Number "NOI 9 VIETNAM" and the activity category "Employment, Labor and Training." The issuing agency is shown as OASAM in the record, while the program description and implementation are clearly tied to USDOL ILAB. For further information or access issues, the notice provided grant officer contacts Brenda J. White and James Kinslow, with a listed phone number (202-693-4570) and emails white.brenda.j@dol.gov and kinslow.james@dol.gov, along with a reference to the ILAB website as an additional information link.
