Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled 15.PMWRA.Project3.Parwan.Afghanistan.NOFO (Funding Opportunity Number: PM PMWRA 15 027) is a discretionary grant competition administered by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement (PM/WRA). It falls under the CFDA program 19.800, Weapons Removal and Abatement, and is categorized as Conventional Weapons Destruction. The overall purpose is to strengthen regional security and improve civilian safety by reducing the risks posed by conventional weapons that are at risk of illicit proliferation, are being used indiscriminately, or otherwise threaten communities through contamination and unexploded hazards.
For the FY 2015/2016 funding cycle, PM/WRA is seeking proposals from eligible organizations to design and implement a mine action project in and around Parwan province, Afghanistan. The project must run for no less than 12 months and is expected to deliver large-scale clearance results: approximately 3,672,361 square meters of contaminated land should be cleared, along with mitigation of 77 known hazards. In practical terms, the grant is aimed at removing explosive remnants of war and mine-related threats so land can be safely used again and civilians are better protected from injury, death, and property loss.
PM/WRA anticipates making one award under this announcement. The estimated total funding is set at 2,300,000 USD, and both the award ceiling and award floor are listed as 2,300,000 USD, indicating the agency planned a single grant at that fixed amount rather than a range of possible award sizes. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants are not required to contribute a specified portion of project costs as a condition of eligibility.
Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations (both those with and without 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education in those nonprofit categories) as well as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education. The opportunity was posted and created on April 24, 2015, with an original and current closing date of May 24, 2015, and it was archived on June 23, 2015. Applicants needing help accessing the full announcement were directed to the Grants.gov Contact Center (support@grants.gov; 1-800-518-4726), which operates continuously except on federal holidays.
