Opportunity Information: Apply for NOI ILAB 22 01
The opportunity titled "Building an Independent and Democratic Labor Movement to Protect Worker Rights in Mexico" is issued by the U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL), Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB), and it is explicitly a Notice of Intent rather than an open funding competition. The notice makes clear that there is no active solicitation tied to it and that applications are not being accepted. In other words, this posting is informational, signaling the agency's planned direction for funding rather than inviting proposals from the public.
What ILAB is indicating is an intention, contingent on the availability of funds, to provide additional funding through a cooperative agreement mechanism. The plan is to add resources to an existing cooperative agreement rather than create a new award through full and open competition. The intended recipient is identified as the American Center for International Labor Solidarity, and the purpose of the additional funding is to extend both the implementation timeline and the overall funding capacity of an ongoing program focused on Mexico. A cooperative agreement, as opposed to a standard grant, generally implies substantial involvement by the federal agency in the project during performance, such as collaboration on implementation, monitoring, or technical direction.
The notice also explains why ILAB plans to proceed without full and open competition. It cites a specific authority, DLMS 2-836 G.3, which covers situations where services are available from only one responsible source and no substitute will suffice, or where the chosen recipient has unique qualifications to perform the activities being funded. In practical terms, the agency is stating that it views this organization as uniquely positioned to continue the work already underway and that switching implementers or re-competing the award is not considered appropriate for the intended objectives.
Key administrative details included in the posting reinforce that this is a single-recipient action. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding, uses the cooperative agreement instrument type, and is associated with CFDA number 17.401. The expected number of awards is one, and the listed award ceiling is up to USD 30,000,000, indicating a potentially large continuation or expansion of an existing effort rather than a small pilot. The opportunity number is NOI ILAB 22 01, and the creation date is November 19, 2021. Eligibility is not presented as broadly open; instead it is listed as "Others," with clarification implied elsewhere, which aligns with the intent to fund a specific existing partner rather than to run a competitive process.
In summary, this notice communicates ILAB's plan to extend and expand an ongoing worker-rights and labor-democracy program in Mexico through additional funding to the American Center for International Labor Solidarity. It is not a call for proposals, it does not accept applications, and it signals a sole-source continuation approach justified by the agency on the basis of unique qualifications and the lack of a suitable substitute provider for the work.Apply for NOI ILAB 22 01
