Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled 15.PMWRA.Project7.Balkh.Afghanistan.NOFO (Funding Opportunity Number PM PMWRA 15 030) is a discretionary grant solicitation issued by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement (PM/WRA). It falls under the funding activity area of Conventional Weapons Destruction and is associated with CFDA 19.800 (Weapons Removal and Abatement). The overall purpose is to strengthen regional security and improve civilian safety by reducing the dangers posed by conventional weapons of war that are at risk, illicitly proliferated, or indiscriminately used, with a specific focus on mine action outcomes that protect lives and property.
Under the FY 2015/2016 cycle, PM/WRA is seeking proposals from eligible organizations to design and implement a mine action project in Balkh province, Afghanistan. The project is expected to run for no less than 12 months and to deliver measurable clearance results, specifically the clearance of approximately 2,870,196 square meters of contaminated land and the addressing of 47 known hazards. In practical terms, the opportunity is aimed at organizations capable of planning, managing, and executing large-scale land release and hazard reduction activities in a challenging operating environment, with the end goal of reducing explosive threats to local communities and improving freedom of movement and safe use of land.
The anticipated award amount is up to USD 1,800,000, and the posted award parameters indicate an award ceiling of USD 1,800,000 and an award floor of USD 1,800,000, suggesting the agency expected a single award at that amount (the notice also lists an expected awards count of 1). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants are not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the grant. The funding instrument is a grant (not a contract), which typically emphasizes programmatic outcomes, compliance, and performance reporting rather than procurement deliverables.
Eligibility is open to nonprofit organizations (both those with and without 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education) and to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education. The opportunity was posted 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 24/7 except on federal holidays.
