Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0008193
The "Enhancing Morocco Public Health Capacity Activity" (Funding Opportunity Number SFOP0008193) is a U.S. Department of State grant opportunity administered by the Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation (ISN), specifically through its Cooperative Threat Reduction (CTR) programming. It is structured as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement, which generally means the U.S. government expects to be more actively involved in project oversight and coordination than it would be under a standard grant. The core purpose is practical, infrastructure-focused capacity building: funding one or more recipients to carry out laboratory renovations, construct or improve site boundaries, and procure as well as install equipment and furniture needed to strengthen public health-related institutional capabilities in Morocco.
The project is centered on an institute located in Casablanca, described as being in a highly accessible and well-connected area with air, sea, and land links. The site conditions are presented as favorable for project implementation because it has reliable telecommunications infrastructure and dependable access to municipal power and potable water. These details signal that the activity is intended to be implementable without major foundational utility upgrades, allowing the recipient to focus resources on construction, renovation, and outfitting rather than basic site enablement.
From an eligibility and administrative standpoint, the opportunity is limited to small businesses, indicating the Department of State is looking for private-sector implementers that can manage construction/renovation work, logistics, procurement, and installation in a controlled and compliant manner. The opportunity falls under CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) number 19.033. The award ceiling is listed as $2,500,000, setting the maximum potential federal funding per award. The posting shows an expected awards count of 0, which can reflect uncertainty at the time of posting about the final number of awards, funding availability, or the intended approach to selection rather than a definitive statement that no awards will be made.
The timeline in the source data indicates the opportunity was created on June 3, 2021, with an original closing date of July 5, 2021. In practical terms, that represents a relatively short application window, which often suggests the funding agency expected applicants with relevant experience and readiness to propose a well-scoped plan for renovations, perimeter or boundary works, and the end-to-end procurement and installation of laboratory and facility furnishings. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a targeted, implementation-oriented cooperative agreement aimed at materially improving a public health institute's operational capacity through facility upgrades and the acquisition and installation of essential equipment and furnishings at a strategically located site in Casablanca.Apply for SFOP0008193
