The Bureau of International Security-Nonproliferation is pleased to announce the applications for Jordan Licensing and SEZ Outreach.
The purpose of this award is to assist the Government of Jordan (GOJ) with implementing and enforcing its legal-regulatory framework governing the licensing of strategic trade and conducting related outreach to industry, with particular focus on Jordan’s Special Economic Zones (SEZ).
Under this NOFO, ISN/ECC seeks proposals to advance U.S. foreign policy and national security priorities by supporting initiatives that make decision-making structures and processes in fragile, conflict, or crisis-affected contexts more reflective of and responsive to the needs and perspectives of partner states to ensure strategic trade control systems meet international standards and by engaging on bilateral, regional and multilateral levels with foreign governments to aid in the establishment of independent capabilities to regulate transfers of weapons of mass destruction, WMD-related items, conventional arms, and related dual-use items, and to detect, interdict, investigate, and prosecute illicit transfers of such items.
ISN/ECC seeks applicants that have significant experience and expertise in strategic trade controls (STC), including in licensing, industry outreach, risk analysis, and commodity identification, have been active in the development of Jordan’s STC framework in the past five years, and have demonstrable and current expertise in its current operational status. Further, ISN/ECC seeks implementers who can facilitate participation in industry outreach engagement from private sector leaders who have strong STC compliance records and can speak to the benefits of instituting robust internal compliance programs
