Opportunity Summary:
The Kabul Polytechnic University Initiative (Funding Opportunity Number HQ0034 14 R 0042) was a U.S. Department of Defense grant opportunity focused on regional development activities connected to Kabul Polytechnic University. It was released in the "Other" opportunity category and used a grant as the funding instrument, indicating the government was seeking to support an assistance-style project rather than procure goods or routine services. The public-facing description in the listing points applicants to an attached synopsis for the full scope and requirements, so the detailed project goals, specific deliverables, and technical expectations would have been laid out in that accompanying document rather than in the brief summary record.
The opportunity anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $500,000. Individual award sizes were expected to fall between a floor of $200,000 and a ceiling of $500,000, meaning proposals likely needed to be sized to fit within that range depending on the approach and work plan described in the synopsis. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of eligibility or competitiveness, although the synopsis may have described whether voluntary cost share would be viewed favorably.
Eligibility was limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, which suggests the Department of Defense intended to partner with government-affiliated universities or similar publicly governed academic entities rather than private universities, nonprofits, or commercial firms. The funding activity category was listed as Regional Development, implying the work was expected to contribute to broader development outcomes in the region, potentially through capacity building, educational programming, institutional support, or related university-centered initiatives, as defined in the attached synopsis.
The posting date and creation date were both January 9, 2014. The application deadline was February 8, 2014 (with no change between the original and current closing dates), and the opportunity was archived on February 13, 2014. Anyone who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically was directed to contact the listed Contract Specialist, Maryam Fatima, at 703-545-1320 or by email at maryam.fatima.civ@mail.mil, indicating she was the point of contact for access issues and likely for administrative questions about the solicitation.
