Opportunity Summary:
The PM/WRA Vietnam Technical Adviser NOFO (Funding Opportunity Number PM PMWRA 16 026) is a U.S. Department of State funding opportunity issued by the Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement (PM/WRA). It was posted on April 6, 2016, and sought applications for a fiscal year 2016 program focused on conventional weapons destruction efforts in Vietnam. The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the U.S. government expects to have substantial involvement in guiding or collaborating on the project during implementation, rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back.
The purpose of the opportunity is to support activities that fall under conventional weapons destruction programming in Vietnam, administered through PM/WRA. While the public summary does not list the detailed scope of work, it clearly situates the program within PM/WRA's broader weapons removal and abatement mission, which generally covers reducing harm from conventional munitions and related hazards. The notice indicates that specific goals, objectives, and technical requirements were provided in the full application instructions referenced by the solicitation, suggesting applicants were expected to propose a technically credible approach aligned with PM/WRA priorities and to submit a complete package meeting those stated requirements.
Funding available under this NOFO was anticipated to be up to USD 450,000 as an award ceiling. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary, with a funding activity category labeled "Other" (with additional clarification referenced in the full notice). The CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) number associated with the opportunity is 19.800, which is linked to Department of State foreign assistance-related programming.
Eligible applicants included nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), nonprofit organizations without 501(c)(3) status (also excluding institutions of higher education), and additional eligible entities described under an "Others" category, with the expectation that the complete solicitation contained further eligibility clarifications. The application deadline was June 6, 2016 (the original and current closing date were the same), meaning applicants had roughly two months from posting to prepare and submit proposals.
In practical terms, this NOFO was inviting qualified organizations to serve in a technical adviser capacity or otherwise deliver technical support tied to conventional weapons destruction programming in Vietnam, under close coordination with PM/WRA. The government's intent to award through a cooperative agreement and the emphasis on technical requirements signal that proposals were likely evaluated on demonstrated field and technical competence, management capacity, and an ability to coordinate effectively with U.S. government stakeholders and relevant partners in Vietnam, consistent with the detailed requirements laid out in the full announcement.
