Opportunity Summary:
The PMWRA.FY13.DRC.RFP opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PM PMWRA 13 032) is a discretionary U.S. government grant competition run by the Department of State office responsible for Weapons Removal and Abatement (PM/WRA). It focuses on Conventional Weapons Destruction (CWD) activities in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) under the FY 2013 country program. In practical terms, this program area typically covers efforts that reduce harm from weapons and explosive hazards, such as reducing the threat posed by unsecured or abandoned conventional weapons and related dangers, and strengthening safety and stability through weapons removal and abatement activities.
Funding is limited and relatively targeted. The total amount available for this solicitation is $500,000, and the agency expects to make a single award. Individual project budgets are anticipated to fall between $100,000 and $500,000 per project, with an overall ceiling of $500,000 and a stated floor of $0. An important budgeting detail is that if additional funds become available later, the office indicates it will only consider proposals that requested less than the full amount initially; that creates a strategic incentive for applicants to consider proposing a scalable project that can start at a lower level and expand if more funding is released. The announcement also allows applicants to submit multiple proposals, which can be useful for organizations that want to propose different approaches or distinct project components rather than bundling everything into one concept.
The funding instrument is a grant (not a contract), and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants are not required to contribute their own funds as a condition of eligibility or competitiveness. Eligible applicants are nonprofit organizations, including those with IRS 501(c)(3) status and those without 501(c)(3) status, as long as they are not institutions of higher education. The listing references CFDA (now commonly aligned with Assistance Listing) number 19.800, Weapons Removal and Abatement, which is the federal assistance program under which this opportunity sits.
Timing-wise, the opportunity was posted and created on March 26, 2013, with an original and current closing date of April 12, 2013, and an archive date of May 12, 2013. For access issues related to the full announcement or submission platform, the notice directs applicants to the Grants.gov Contact Center (1-800-518-4726) and support@grants.gov, available 24/7 except federal holidays.
