Opportunity Information: Apply for NOI ILAB 22 06

The grant opportunity titled "Building the Capacity of Civil Society to Combat Child Labor and Improve Working Conditions (Pilares)" is not an open funding competition. It is issued as a Notice of Intent (NOI) by the U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL), Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB), which means it is essentially a public statement of the agency's plan rather than a call for applications. The notice explicitly states that there is no related funding announcement and that applications are not being accepted.

The core purpose of the planned action is to provide additional funding to extend an already-existing cooperative agreement with Pact Inc. In practical terms, ILAB intends to continue and expand the current project by prolonging its implementation period and increasing its funding capacity, rather than starting a new project with a new recipient. The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency in the funded work (for example, ongoing collaboration, shared technical input, or coordinated oversight), as opposed to a more hands-off grant.

This NOI uses a justification for awarding without full and open competition, citing the authority "DLMS 2-836 G.3." The rationale given is that the services are available from only one responsible source, no substitute will suffice, or the recipient has unique qualifications to carry out the activity being funded. In other words, ILAB is documenting that Pact Inc. is considered the only suitable organization to continue this particular effort, likely because of its existing role, established systems, relationships, or specialized experience tied to the ongoing program.

Key administrative details include the opportunity number "NOI ILAB 22 06," a creation date of July 6, 2022, and a CFDA number of 17.401. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding, with an activity category listed as "Other" (with clarification referenced in the original notice). The anticipated funding level is up to an award ceiling of $5,000,000, with an expectation of a single award. Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," but because the notice is not soliciting proposals and is intended to fund an existing agreement with a specific organization, that eligibility label does not translate into a real opportunity for new applicants.

Overall, this notice signals ILAB's intent to directly extend and expand an existing child labor and labor conditions initiative under the Pilares program through Pact Inc., using a non-competitive approach and planning for one continuation award of up to $5 million, with no application process associated with the notice.
