Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity, titled "PMWRA.FY13. Paktya. RFP. Project 3," is a U.S. Department of State grant competition run through the Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement (PM/WRA). It was issued as a Request for Proposals for the FY 2013/2014 cycle and focuses on humanitarian efforts tied to landmines, explosive remnants of war (ERW), and related weapons hazards. The central aim is to fund practical, on-the-ground programs that reduce harm to civilians by clearing explosive threats, educating communities that live with these risks, and improving the safety and control of weapons and ammunition stockpiles so they do not fuel further accidents or insecurity.
The scope of work is framed around three broad program areas that applicants can address individually or in combination. First is the detection and neutralization of landmines and ERW, which covers activities like surveying contaminated areas, locating explosive hazards, and safely clearing or disposing of them through humanitarian demining and explosive ordnance disposal operations. Second is risk education for people living in or traveling through threatened areas, meaning community-based outreach and training that helps civilians recognize hazards, change behaviors, and reduce the chance of injury or death. Third is support for safeguarding and properly managing existing government stockpiles of munitions and small arms/light weapons, which can include improving storage conditions, inventory controls, and other measures intended to prevent diversion, theft, accidental explosions, or unsafe handling.
Administratively, this is a discretionary grant program under CFDA 19.800 (Weapons Removal and Abatement). The funding activity is categorized as "Humanitarian Demining and Weapons Destruction." The announcement anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of up to $1,000,000. The award ceiling is $1,000,000 and the award floor is listed as $0, meaning proposals could vary in size up to the maximum available amount. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated, so applicants were not required to provide a match as a condition of eligibility.
Eligibility includes a range of organizational types typically involved in humanitarian mine action and related assistance: nonprofit organizations (including both those with and without 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education in those specific nonprofit categories), private institutions of higher education, and other entities as described in the solicitation. Public International Organizations are also explicitly listed as eligible. In short, the competition is aimed at capable humanitarian and international actors that can plan and deliver demining, risk education, victim assistance, and/or stockpile management work consistent with PM/WRA objectives.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on November 2, 2012, with an original and current closing date of December 6, 2012, and an archive date of January 5, 2013.
