Opportunity Summary:

The grant opportunity titled 14.PMWRA.Cambodia.RFA (Funding Opportunity Number: PM PMWRA 14 017) is a competitive U.S. government funding announcement focused on explosive remnants of war (ERW) clearance in Western Cambodia. It was issued by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement (often referenced as PM/WRA). The overall purpose is to support activities that locate and clear ERW hazards, which can include unexploded ordnance and other explosive contamination left behind from past conflicts, with the broader goal of improving civilian safety and enabling communities to use land safely again.

This opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and uses a grant as the funding instrument. The funding activity is listed under an "Other" category with the explanation tied to conventional weapons destruction (CWD), which aligns with the listed CFDA program number 19.800 (Weapons Removal and Abatement). In practical terms, the announcement is aimed at organizations capable of planning and executing field clearance operations in Western Cambodia, including the operational management, technical procedures, and quality and safety systems needed to conduct ERW clearance in a humanitarian context.

In terms of funding size, the maximum potential award (the ceiling) is up to $1,500,000, while the award floor is listed as $0, meaning the agency did not specify a minimum award amount. The announcement does not require cost sharing or matching funds, so applicants were not obligated to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of eligibility or competitiveness, based on the posted summary.

Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning it is open to any type of entity, subject to any additional eligibility details that might appear in the full announcement text. That typically suggests a wide applicant pool could compete, such as non-profit organizations, international NGOs, commercial entities with demining capacity, and potentially academic or other institutions, so long as they can meet the programmatic and administrative requirements laid out in the full solicitation.

The timeline provided shows the opportunity was posted and created on June 4, 2014, with an original and current closing date of July 18, 2014. The archive date is August 17, 2014, indicating the listing was later moved into an archived status after the application window closed. Applicants at the time would have needed to submit their proposals by the July deadline through the standard federal grants portal process.

For access and submission support, the listing directs applicants who have trouble obtaining the full announcement electronically to the Grants.gov Contact Center, which operates 24/7 (excluding federal holidays). The contact details provided are the phone number 1-800-518-4726 and the email address support@grants.gov. The listing also includes an additional information link labeled 14.PMWRA.Cambodia.RFA, which would have pointed to the full solicitation package and any required forms, technical instructions, and application requirements not included in the summary record.
