Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0002266
The grant opportunity titled "Strategic Trade Control Support: Tajikistan and Uzbekistan" (Funding Opportunity Number SFOP0002266) was a discretionary U.S. Department of State grant announced through the Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation. It was created on July 19, 2017, with an original application deadline of August 25, 2017. The program anticipated making a single award, with a maximum possible funding level (award ceiling) of $207,500. The opportunity is associated with CFDA 19.901 and was published under a funding activity category labeled "Other," indicating that the work does not neatly fit into a standard grant category and instead aligns with a specialized nonproliferation and export control capacity-building mission.
The core purpose of the project was to provide technical and policy support to the Governments of Tajikistan and Uzbekistan to strengthen their national strategic trade control systems. In practical terms, the project focus was on helping these governments refine and update strategic trade control legislation, improve or draft implementing regulations, and build the administrative and legal mechanisms needed to enforce those rules. Strategic trade controls generally refer to the laws and procedures that govern the export, re-export, transit, transshipment, and brokering of sensitive items, including dual-use goods and technologies that have legitimate civilian applications but could also be used for military programs or weapons of mass destruction-related activities if diverted or misused.
A major deliverable highlighted in the announcement was assistance with developing and adopting a national control list for each country that aligns with the major multilateral export control regimes. A national control list is the backbone of an export control system because it specifies which goods, software, and technologies require government authorization before they can be exported or transferred. When the notice says the lists should "comport" with multilateral regimes, it means the lists should be consistent with widely used international standards that many countries reference when controlling sensitive trade. These regimes typically include frameworks like the Wassenaar Arrangement (conventional arms and dual-use goods and technologies), the Missile Technology Control Regime (missile-related items), the Nuclear Suppliers Group (nuclear-related items), and the Australia Group (chemical and biological-related items). Even when a country is not a member of these regimes, aligning national lists with them helps create compatibility with global compliance practices, reduces loopholes that proliferators can exploit, and makes it easier for legitimate industry to understand requirements that resemble those used in other jurisdictions.
While the posting does not enumerate specific activities, the described objectives imply hands-on expert engagement such as legal and regulatory gap analyses, drafting support for legislation and implementing rules, technical workshops on how to structure control lists and licensing procedures, and guidance on how to integrate control list management into day-to-day licensing and enforcement operations. It also implies support for translating regime-based list structures into national legal language and administrative processes that can be implemented by local ministries and agencies, including establishing clear authorities, definitions, penalties, interagency coordination, and procedures for updating lists over time as technology and international standards evolve.
Eligibility was not limited to a standard set of applicant types; the listing states "Others" with additional eligibility details referenced elsewhere in the full announcement. That phrasing is commonly used for specialized technical assistance programs where the government seeks implementers with export control, legal drafting, and capacity-building expertise, such as nonprofits, research organizations, or other qualified entities capable of delivering technical assistance in a government-to-government support environment.
Overall, the opportunity funded a targeted, single-award technical assistance effort aimed at improving the legal foundation and practical tools Tajikistan and Uzbekistan use to control sensitive trade. The intended end state was stronger, more modern export control laws and implementing regulations paired with national control lists harmonized with globally recognized standards, supporting broader U.S. and international nonproliferation goals by reducing the risk of diversion of controlled items through or from these countries.Apply for SFOP0002266
