Opportunity Summary:
The "Improved Compliance with Labor Laws in the Country of Georgia" item is not an open grant competition. It is a Notice of Intent (NOI) posted by the U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL), Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB), meaning it is informational only and signals an agency plan rather than inviting proposals. The notice states plainly that there is no related funding announcement and that applications are not being accepted under this posting.
ILAB indicates it intends to make a single, non-competitive (sole-source) cooperative agreement award with a total value of up to $1,000,000. The purpose of the planned award is to extend ongoing work under an existing project focused on improving compliance with labor laws in Georgia (the country) for an additional three years. In other words, this is described as a continuation or extension of current activities, not the start of a brand-new, competed program.
The intended recipient is the International Labor Organization (ILO), and ILAB anticipates making one award. The notice also emphasizes that the award would be contingent on the Government of Georgia meeting certain conditions, implying that continued U.S. support depends on specific commitments or actions by the Georgian government (the NOI does not spell out those conditions).
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding, using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. A cooperative agreement typically indicates that the funding agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project compared to a standard grant. The listing includes CFDA number 17.401 and identifies the agency component as DOL-ETA-ILAB. The posting date and creation date are April 5, 2016, and the "closing date" fields repeat that this is only an NOI with no application window.
The sole-source justification is grounded in USDOL Manual Series (DLMS) 2-836 G.3, which allows a non-competitive award when services are available from only one responsible source and no substitute will suffice, or when the recipient has unique qualifications to carry out the work being funded. In practical terms, USDOL is stating that ILO is uniquely positioned to continue and deliver the project activities and that the agency does not plan to solicit competing applications for this extension.
