Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "16.PMWRA.Project 6.Kabul.Afghanistan.NOFO" (Funding Opportunity Number: PM PMWRA 16 028) is a discretionary grant issued by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement (DOS-PMWRA). It was posted on April 13, 2016, created the same day, and had an application deadline of May 31, 2016 (with no extension beyond that date listed). The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 19.800, which is commonly tied to U.S. foreign assistance programming in areas such as peace and security, including efforts that reduce harm from conventional weapons.
The purpose of the grant is straightforward: to support demining activities in Kabul Province, Afghanistan. In practical terms, a demining-focused award under PMWRA typically centers on identifying, surveying, marking, clearing, and otherwise reducing the threat from landmines and other explosive hazards remaining after conflict. While the notice text provided is brief, demining work in this context often includes activities like non-technical survey (gathering and validating information about suspected hazardous areas), technical survey (instrument-aided or evidence-based confirmation of hazardous areas), manual or mechanical clearance operations, explosive ordnance disposal tasks, and post-clearance documentation intended to confirm land can be safely returned to civilian use. Programs like this are generally designed to reduce civilian casualties, restore access to land and infrastructure, and support broader stability and recovery by making communities safer.
The award has a stated ceiling of $2,520,000, meaning applicants could request funding up to that maximum amount. The notice lists "ExpectedAwards:" but does not provide a number in the source text you supplied, so the exact number of planned awards is not specified here. The funding instrument is explicitly a grant rather than a contract, which typically implies the government is supporting a public-purpose activity carried out by an implementing organization, with programmatic objectives and reporting requirements, rather than purchasing a defined service deliverable in a procurement sense.
Eligibility is open to several categories of organizations. These include U.S.-based nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (also excluding institutions of higher education), and an additional "Others" category that would be clarified in the full notice under "Additional Information on Eligibility." In opportunities like this, "Others" sometimes means international NGOs, foreign nonprofit organizations, or other qualified entities with relevant technical capacity, but the specific interpretation would depend on the full eligibility language in the complete announcement.
Overall, this NOFO represents a targeted, province-specific weapons removal grant opportunity aimed at reducing explosive hazards in Kabul Province through professional demining operations, funded and overseen by DOS-PMWRA, with up to $2.52 million available per award and a closing date of May 31, 2016.
