Opportunity Information: Apply for NOI ILAB 19 03
The Myanmar Program on Elimination of Child Labor (My-PEC) is a U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL), Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB) funding notice dated October 9, 2019, but it is not an open grant competition. This posting is explicitly a Notice of Intent (NOI), meaning it is informational only and does not come with an active funding announcement, application instructions, or a deadline for submissions. In practical terms, no applications are being accepted from the public or from other organizations, because the agency is signaling its plan for how it intends to use funds if they are available.
The core purpose of the planned action is to extend an existing cooperative agreement with the International Labor Organization (ILO) to continue implementing the My-PEC program and to increase its funding capacity. The mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically implies that USDOL/ILAB expects to have substantial involvement in the project’s direction or oversight compared to a standard grant. The notice indicates ILAB’s intent to provide additional funding to the current ILO agreement rather than start a new competition, essentially allowing the same implementer to keep the program running and expand or deepen activities already underway.
A key point in the notice is that ILAB plans to proceed without full and open competition. The stated justification is based on USDOL Manual Series (DLMS) 2-836 G.3, which allows a noncompetitive award when services are available from only one responsible source and no substitute will suffice, or when the recipient has unique qualifications to perform the work. Here, the ILO is identified as that uniquely qualified source for the specific activities being funded, which is why the agency is not seeking other applicants.
In terms of funding scale and expectations, the notice lists an anticipated single award (ExpectedAwards: 1) with an award ceiling of up to USD 8,750,000, subject to the availability of funds. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary, falls under CFDA number 17.401, and is listed under the Department of Labor, Bureau of International Labor Affairs. Although the eligibility field is labeled broadly as "Others," the text of the notice makes clear that this NOI is tied to an extension of an existing agreement with the ILO, not a solicitation for new implementers.
Overall, this notice communicates ILAB’s intent to continue and expand a child labor elimination program in Myanmar by adding funds to an existing ILO cooperative agreement, using a justified noncompetitive approach. It does not provide a pathway for new applicants, and it should be read as a public statement of planned funding action rather than an invitation to apply.Apply for NOI ILAB 19 03
