Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Department of State, through the Secretarys Office of Global Partnerships (S/GPI), issued this opportunity as a request for Statements of Interest and Capacity (SOIC) rather than a traditional grant competition for a single defined project. The goal is to identify organizations that can implement and manage public private partnerships (PPPs) or similarly structured collaborative programs that are innovative, flexible, and able to deliver measurable impact. S/GPI wants a pool of capable implementers it can draw on when new partnership needs come up across different sectors, industries, and geographic regions.
Instead of awarding money immediately, S/GPI uses this SOIC process to pre qualify organizations. Submitted SOICs are reviewed against criteria described in the full announcement, and organizations with acceptable submissions are placed on an S/GPI maintained list. Being placed on the list does not guarantee funding, but it positions an organization to be invited later to submit a full proposal for a specific partnership activity. These invitations can occur at any time over the following five years, which means the opportunity functions like a standing qualification process that supports rapid engagement when a new PPP activity emerges that would benefit from coordination with the Department of State and a non federal partner.
Eligibility is broad but still defined. U.S. registered organizations are eligible, including non profits and for profits. The listing also notes other eligible categories such as international organizations, universities or research institutions, and consortia (with a designated lead organization). Cost sharing or matching is not required under this announcement. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary, with the funding instrument type listed as other, and the activity area described as public private partnerships. Notably, the announcement does not commit to a specific funding amount at the SOIC stage (estimated total funding, ceiling, and floor are listed as zero), reinforcing that this is about building a qualified roster rather than making immediate awards.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted February 20, 2014, created February 25, 2014, and had an original and current closing date of April 11, 2014, with an archive date of May 11, 2014. The expected number of awards is listed as 10, which likely reflects an anticipated number of organizations to be added to the pre qualified list, not necessarily ten funded projects. The CFDA number referenced is 19.301 under the Secretarys Office of the Global Partnership Initiative grant programs. For access issues or support, the contact listed is Erika Crowell or the grants.gov help desk at 800 518 4726.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1) What is this opportunity from the U.S. Department of State (S/GPI)?
This is a U.S. Department of State opportunity issued through the Secretary's Office of Global Partnerships (S/GPI) to identify organizations that can implement and manage public-private partnerships (PPPs) or similar collaborative programs. It is designed to build a pool (roster) of capable implementers that S/GPI can draw on when new partnership needs arise across different sectors, industries, and geographic regions.
2) Is this a traditional grant competition for a single project?
No. The opportunity is a request for Statements of Interest and Capacity (SOIC) rather than a traditional grant competition tied to one defined project. The intent is to pre-qualify organizations for potential future partnership activities.
3) What does SOIC stand for, and what is being requested?
SOIC stands for Statement of Interest and Capacity. The Department of State is requesting submissions that demonstrate an organization's interest and capacity to implement and manage PPPs or similarly structured collaborative programs that are innovative, flexible, and able to deliver measurable impact.
4) What is the main goal of the SOIC process?
The main goal is to identify organizations with the ability to implement and manage PPPs and to place acceptable organizations on an S/GPI-maintained list of pre-qualified implementers. This supports faster engagement when a new PPP activity emerges.
5) Does submitting an SOIC result in immediate funding?
No. The SOIC stage does not provide immediate funding. The announcement does not commit to a specific funding amount at the SOIC stage, and estimated total funding, ceiling, and floor are listed as zero. This reinforces that the purpose is qualification, not an immediate award.
6) If my organization is placed on the S/GPI list, is funding guaranteed?
No. Being placed on the S/GPI-maintained list does not guarantee funding. It positions an organization to potentially be invited later to submit a full proposal for a specific partnership activity.
7) What happens after an organization is placed on the list?
Organizations with acceptable SOIC submissions are placed on an S/GPI-maintained list. After that, S/GPI may invite listed organizations to submit a full proposal for a specific partnership activity as needs arise.
8) How long can invitations to submit full proposals occur after being listed?
Invitations can occur at any time over the following five years after the SOIC process, functioning like a standing qualification process for future partnership activities.
9) What kinds of activities does S/GPI want implementers for?
The activity area is described as public-private partnerships. The opportunity emphasizes programs that are innovative, flexible, and able to deliver measurable impact, and that can support partnership needs across multiple sectors, industries, and geographic regions.
10) Who is eligible to submit an SOIC?
Eligibility is broad but defined. U.S.-registered organizations are eligible, including non-profits and for-profits. The listing also notes other eligible categories such as international organizations, universities or research institutions, and consortia (with a designated lead organization).
11) Can a consortium apply, and are there special requirements?
Yes. Consortia are listed as eligible, with the condition that there is a designated lead organization.
12) Is cost sharing or matching required?
No. Cost sharing or matching is not required under this announcement.
13) What type of funding opportunity is this categorized as?
The opportunity is categorized as discretionary, with the funding instrument type listed as "other." The activity area is described as public-private partnerships.
14) Is there a specific total funding amount, ceiling, or floor for awards at the SOIC stage?
No. The announcement does not commit to a specific funding amount at the SOIC stage. The estimated total funding, ceiling, and floor are listed as zero, consistent with a pre-qualification process rather than immediate awards.
15) How are SOIC submissions evaluated?
Submitted SOICs are reviewed against criteria described in the full announcement. Organizations with acceptable submissions are placed on the S/GPI-maintained list.
16) What does "expected number of awards: 10" mean in this context?
The expected number of awards is listed as 10, which likely reflects an anticipated number of organizations to be added to the pre-qualified list, not necessarily ten funded projects.
17) When was the opportunity posted and what were the key dates?
The opportunity was posted on February 20, 2014, created on February 25, 2014, and had an original and current closing date of April 11, 2014. The archive date is May 11, 2014.

20) What is the practical purpose of this SOIC approach for S/GPI?
This SOIC approach allows S/GPI to maintain a ready pool of capable implementers and to engage quickly when a new PPP activity emerges that would benefit from coordination with the Department of State and a non-federal partner.
