Opportunity Summary:
The PM/WRA Burma HMA Request for Information (RFI) is a market-research style solicitation issued by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement (PM/WRA). Rather than announcing a specific grant award with a defined funding amount, it asks organizations to provide information and proposed approaches for how humanitarian mine action (HMA) activities could be implemented in Burma (Myanmar). The intent is to gather practical, program-focused input from qualified actors that can inform the U.S. government on feasible strategies, capabilities, and potential program designs for weapons removal and related humanitarian activities.
The opportunity is listed as discretionary and uses a non-standard funding instrument type labeled "Other," with the activity category also marked as "Other," indicating it is not presented as a typical grant competition with a stated award ceiling, number of awards, or a detailed program budget. In the source data, the award ceiling is shown as 0 and expected awards are not specified, which usually signals that this notice is meant to collect information rather than directly make an award. The CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) number associated with the posting is 19.800, which aligns with U.S. Department of State public assistance programming in areas that can include humanitarian and security-related support.
Eligibility is broad and includes U.S. nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status, nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education), and other entities as described in the full eligibility clarification. The text also explicitly welcomes both U.S.-based and foreign nongovernmental organizations, which suggests PM/WRA was seeking a wide range of operational perspectives, including organizations with on-the-ground experience, local access, or specialized technical capacity relevant to mine action.
The core request is for prospective approaches to implementing humanitarian mine action activities in Burma. In practical terms, this typically covers areas such as survey and assessment of explosive hazards, mine/ERW clearance, explosive ordnance risk education, victim assistance linkages, capacity building for local institutions, information management, and coordination mechanisms. Because it is an RFI, respondents are generally expected to describe how they would structure and deliver HMA programming, what methods and standards they would use, what partnerships or access they have, what implementation constraints exist, and how they would manage safety, quality assurance, and monitoring and evaluation in the Burma context.
The submission process is straightforward and email-based. Responses had to be sent to MurguiaCE@state.gov and were due no later than 5:00 pm Eastern Standard Time on May 6, 2016. The notice was created and posted on April 6, 2016, giving respondents roughly one month to prepare and submit their input. The key takeaway is that this posting is a request for detailed technical and programmatic input to help PM/WRA understand viable options for humanitarian mine action in Burma, rather than a conventional, fully-scoped grant solicitation with a declared funding amount and award plan.
