Seeking Input for our Sub-Opportunities Portal USAID will soon be launching a sub-opportunities portal on WorkwithUSAID.org. It will provide a searchable platform for sub-award and sub-contract opportunities being offered by current USAID prime partners, increasing the visibility of these opportunities to all, including new, nontraditional, and local organizations. But, we need your help! We want to populate the new page with opportunities before its launch, so we are asking current primes to share any upcoming sub-award/sub-contract opportunities via this submission form by February 27, 2023. Questions? Email the team at: IndustryLiaison@usaid.gov. New Additions to the WorkwithUSAID.org Resource Library WorkwithUSAID.org's Resource Library now has more than 220 curated tools for global organizations to better understand partnership. Filter through various categories, content types, and languages to find exactly what you need. You may also nominate resources that have helped you understand the partnership landscape. Changes in SAM.gov for CAGE and NCAGE Codes To make registering in SAM.gov easier, the federal government has reduced the number of new entities that need a Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) or NCAGE code. This change only applies to new financial assistance registrants. If you are registered in SAM.gov and already have a CAGE code or NCAGE code, this change does not apply to you. Learn more about the criteria in GSA's announcement here. Seeking Comments on OMB Guidance for Grants and Agreements – Build America, Buy America Act The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) is proposing to revise OMB Guidance for Grants and Agreements. The proposed revisions are limited in scope to support implementation of the Build America, Buy America Act provisions of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act; and to clarify existing requirements. These proposed revisions provide further guidance on implementing these statutory requirements, and improve federal financial assistance management and transparency. Comments are due from the public on this site by March 13, 2023. An Indirect Cost Rate Guide for Nonprofit Organizations Are you a nonprofit organization looking to understand indirect costs?
