Opportunity Information: Apply for 72066324RFA00003
USAID is inviting applications for a cooperative agreement to implement the USAID Markets for Sanitation Activity, a health-focused program run through USAID Ethiopia (USAID Addis Ababa). The opportunity is listed as a discretionary funding program on Grants.gov under Funding Opportunity Number 72066324RFA00003 and CFDA 98.001. The overall intent is to select one implementing partner to carry out the activity, with the award going to the applicant that best aligns with the program objectives and scores highest against the merit review criteria laid out in the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), while also passing a required risk assessment.
This competition is open to all qualified entities because eligibility is unrestricted, meaning there are no special applicant-type limitations stated in the notice. Even with open eligibility, applicants still have to meet the specific requirements described in Section C of the NOFO and must submit every required piece of information in the application package to be considered for award. USAID emphasizes that interested applicants should read the full NOFO carefully to understand what kind of program USAID is seeking, how to structure and submit an application, and how proposals will be evaluated during the merit review process.
The funding opportunity has an award ceiling of $31,000,000, and USAID anticipates making a single award. The original application closing date is February 15, 2024, and the posting date on the government system reflects a creation date of December 14, 2023. Since the opportunity is posted on Grants.gov and may be amended, applicants are expected to monitor the listing regularly to catch updates, clarifications, and formal amendments. USAID also notes that it is not responsible for any technical issues or data errors that occur during transmission or file conversions, which is a practical reminder to verify that downloaded materials are complete and that submissions follow the required formats.
A key administrative requirement is registration compliance. USAID warns that it may not make an award unless the applicant has completed all applicable Unique Entity ID (UEI) and System for Award Management (SAM) requirements referenced in Section D.6.g of the NOFO. Because SAM/UEI registration can take weeks, the notice strongly encourages applicants to start registration early rather than waiting until the deadline is near, since late or incomplete registration can effectively block an organization from receiving an award even if the technical proposal is strong.
For questions about the opportunity, applicants are directed to email Mariamawit Girma at mgirma@usaid.gov and copy caddis@usaid.gov. The NOFO sets a specific deadline for submitting questions, and USAID plans to share responses to timely questions with all potential applicants through an amendment posted to Grants.gov. This approach is meant to keep the competition fair by ensuring everyone has access to the same clarifications and guidance.
Finally, the notice makes the usual federal disclaimer points: posting the NOFO does not guarantee funding, does not commit the government to make an award, and does not obligate USAID to pay any costs incurred while preparing or submitting an application. Applicants bear all proposal development costs and submit at their own risk. The full Request for Application package is attached to the opportunity listing and is the controlling document for technical, budget, and compliance instructions.Apply for 72066324RFA00003
