Opportunity Summary:
PMWRA.FY12.Iraq.RSOI is a U.S. Department of State grant opportunity issued by the Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement (PM/WRA) within the Bureau of Political-Military Affairs. It focuses on Conventional Weapons Destruction (CWD) work, specifically projects that help clear and safely dispose of or destroy landmines, unexploded ordnance (UXO), excess conventional weapons, and aging or surplus munitions. The overall goal is to strengthen practical CWD capabilities through targeted, field-oriented activities that reduce explosive hazards and improve safety and stability.
The opportunity uses a two-stage competitive selection process. In the first stage, interested organizations submit a short, two-page Statement of Interest (SOI). These SOIs are reviewed by a PM/WRA competitive panel to determine whether they meet technical requirements and whether the proposed concept appears strong enough to justify a full proposal. Only applicants whose SOIs are viewed favorably are invited to move to the second stage, where they submit a complete proposal expanding on the approach, technical plan, and other required details. Full proposals are then reviewed again by a PM/WRA panel for final funding consideration. The announcement described here launches that first stage and serves as the formal request for SOI submissions.
Eligibility is broad and includes both U.S.-based and foreign entities. The solicitation encourages applications from nonprofit and non-governmental organizations (including both 501(c)(3) nonprofits and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status), public international organizations (PIOs), and institutions of higher education (including public and state-controlled universities as well as private institutions). The funding instrument is a discretionary grant under CFDA (now Assistance Listing) number 19.800, Weapons Removal and Abatement. The notice states there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to contribute additional non-federal funds as a condition of eligibility.
Funding levels are described as dependent on fiscal year 2012 appropriations, but the Department anticipated making awards ranging from $100,000 to $5,000,000 per project. While the listing shows an award ceiling and floor as zero in the metadata, the narrative guidance clarifies the expected practical award range. The program category is listed as “Other,” with the explanation specifying Conventional Weapons Destruction.
Applications for the first stage had to be submitted electronically through either GrantSolutions.gov or Grants.gov. The deadline for SOI submission was 11:59 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on Wednesday, February 29, 2012, and the notice emphasizes that late submissions would not be accepted. The opportunity was posted February 3, 2012, created February 8, 2012, and archived March 30, 2012. For technical issues accessing the announcement or using the submission systems, the contact provided is the Grants.gov Contact Center (1-800-518-4726, support@grants.gov), with support hours listed as Monday through Friday, 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. Eastern.
