Opportunity Summary:
NOI 06 Vietnam is a federal Notice of Intent (NOI) issued by the U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL), specifically through the Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB), under CFDA 17.401 (International Labor Programs). The key point is that this posting is not an open call for proposals and not a request for funding applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice that USDOL intends to make a single, specific award using a cooperative agreement mechanism.
Under this NOI, USDOL planned to award up to $8,000,000 to the International Labor Organization (ILO) to carry out a technical assistance project focused on preventing and reducing child labor in Vietnam. The work is described as being implemented in collaboration with the Government of Vietnam, indicating that the project is expected to be coordinated closely with Vietnamese government counterparts and aligned with national child labor priorities, systems, and policies. Because the instrument type is a cooperative agreement (rather than a standard grant), USDOL would typically anticipate substantial involvement in the project during implementation, such as ongoing coordination, technical input, and oversight tied to performance and deliverables.
The NOI also explains the justification for limiting the award to ILO rather than competing it. The authority cited comes from the Department of Labor Manual Series (DLMS) provisions, including DLMS 2 836(G)(3), which supports a sole-source approach when only one responsible source can provide the needed services or when the recipient has unique qualifications and no adequate substitute exists. It also cites DLMS 2 836(G)(6B), which allows funding an organization with an established relationship with the agency to maintain capabilities relevant to investigative, technical, economic, or sociological research. In practical terms, USDOL is signaling that it views ILO as uniquely positioned for this Vietnam child labor effort due to specialized expertise, institutional capacity, and an existing working relationship that USDOL considers important to sustain.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on July 17, 2014, with an original and current closing date of August 15, 2014, and an archive date of September 14, 2014. The listing shows no cost sharing or matching requirement. Although the posting includes standard fields like award ceiling and floor showing 0, the narrative description provides the meaningful funding detail: an intended award of up to $8,000,000. Eligibility is effectively not applicable because this is not a competitive solicitation; the “eligible applicants†field is therefore not relevant to prospective applicants.
For additional details, USDOL pointed readers to the ILAB grants webpage (http://www.dol.gov/ilab/grants/). A contact was provided for access issues with the full announcement: Helen A. Williams, Grant Specialist, reachable at OPSGrantOffice@usdol.onmicrosoft.com.
