DRL Transshipment Supply Chain Tracing

The U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor is seeking proposals for a cooperative agreement to disrupt transshipment practices that bypass forced labor import prohibitions. The selected recipient will work to strengthen the capacity of the United States and partner countries with Ask-the-Right-Questions systems to identify and prevent the importation of goods produced through forced labor. Project activities will focus on enhancing supply chain tracing mechanisms to detect illicit transshipment pathways and improve enforcement actions. Eligible applicants include domestic and foreign non-profit organizations, institutions of higher education, and for-profit businesses. Applications must be submitted through the MyGrants portal by the closing deadline of August 27, 2026, for a single award valued at $1,973,359.
