Opportunity Information: Apply for NOI ILAB 22 10
The U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL), through the Bureau of International Labor Affairs (ILAB), released this item as a Notice of Intent (NOI) rather than an open grant competition. The notice signals ILAB's plan to make a single cooperative agreement award to the Fair Food Standards Council (FFSC) for a technical assistance project focused on strengthening worker voice and labor rights protections within international agricultural supply chains. Because it is only a notice of intent, there is no accompanying funding announcement, no application package, and no opportunity to apply; ILAB explicitly states it is not accepting applications.
The core purpose of the proposed project is to explore and support the international expansion of the Fair Food Program (FFP) model. The FFP is described here as a worker-driven social responsibility approach, meaning it centers worker participation and mechanisms for workers to raise concerns, influence conditions, and help enforce rights in the workplace. ILAB intends for the funded work to begin with an initial feasibility study and assessment to determine how, and under what conditions, the FFP model could be adapted and implemented in agricultural contexts outside the United States. In addition to studying feasibility, the project scope includes piloting the FFP model on farms located outside the U.S., which implies practical, on-the-ground testing of implementation approaches, partnerships, and systems needed to operationalize worker voice and rights protections in varied international supply chain environments.
Structurally, the planned award is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial federal involvement compared with a standard grant. In practice, that usually means ILAB expects to collaborate closely with the recipient on project direction, milestones, and performance. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and is listed under CFDA 17.401. The activity category is labeled "Other," indicating it does not neatly fit into standard buckets and should be interpreted in light of the narrative description focused on labor rights and supply chain technical assistance.
In terms of funding scale and award expectations, ILAB lists an anticipated award ceiling of $10,000,000 and expects to make one award. The notice also clarifies why the agency intends to fund FFSC specifically rather than run a competitive process. The cited authority is DLMS 2-836 G.3, justified on the basis that services are available from only one responsible source, no substitute will suffice, or the intended recipient has unique qualifications to carry out the activity to be funded. This language reflects a sole-source rationale: ILAB is asserting that FFSC is uniquely positioned to deliver this particular technical assistance effort tied to the Fair Food Program model.
Key identifiers included in the listing are the funding opportunity title, "Project to Expand and Assess Implementation of the Fair Food Program Model for Promotion of Human and Labor Rights Protections in International Agricultural Supply Chains," and the funding opportunity number, "NOI ILAB 22 10." The record shows a creation date of November 9, 2022. The "closing date" field is effectively not applicable because the notice is informational only and not an application-based solicitation.Apply for NOI ILAB 22 10
