Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0006132
The grant opportunity titled 19.PMWRA.Afghanistan.Project 33.NOFO (Funding Opportunity Number SFOP0006132) is a discretionary U.S. Department of State program administered through the Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement (PM/WRA). It is focused on Afghanistan and is designed to fund humanitarian action related to landmines and explosive remnants of war. In practical terms, the Department of State is seeking proposals that directly reduce harm to civilians by finding, removing, and safely disposing of explosive hazards, and by supporting people and communities affected by those hazards.
The core activities the notice calls for fall into three closely related areas: humanitarian demining, explosive ordnance disposal (EOD), and victim assistance. Humanitarian demining generally includes survey and clearance work to locate and remove mines and other explosive remnants so land can be used safely again. Explosive ordnance disposal typically refers to the identification, render-safe procedures, and disposal of explosive items that may be discovered in communities or during clearance operations. Victim assistance covers support for individuals harmed by mines or unexploded ordnance, which can include medical and rehabilitation services, assistive devices, psychosocial support, and efforts that help survivors reintegrate socially and economically. The notice indicates that the specific goals, objectives, and technical application requirements are laid out in the full solicitation, meaning applicants are expected to align their proposed workplans, methodologies, and reporting to PM/WRA standards for these types of programs.
Funding for this opportunity is capped at an award ceiling of $1,648,081, and PM/WRA anticipates making one award under this announcement. The funding instrument is a grant, and the opportunity category is discretionary. The CFDA listing associated with the program is 19.800, which is commonly used for State Department public assistance activities in this portfolio area. From a planning perspective, the single expected award and the stated ceiling suggest a competitive process where the Department may select one implementer to deliver a defined package of activities, likely emphasizing demonstrated technical capacity, strong operational controls and safety practices, credible access and implementation planning in Afghanistan, and clear monitoring and evaluation approaches that show measurable risk reduction and impact.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations that have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. That means applicants generally need to be U.S.-recognized charitable nonprofits (or otherwise able to document that status) and should be prepared to provide the standard nonprofit compliance documentation typically required in federal assistance applications. Since the opportunity is run by PM/WRA, applicants would also normally be expected to demonstrate sector-specific qualifications, such as experience managing mine action or EOD operations, established quality management systems, staff training and accreditation practices, and the ability to coordinate with relevant authorities and partners involved in mine action in Afghanistan.
Key dates in the source information show the opportunity was created on August 20, 2019, with an original closing date of October 19, 2019. While those dates indicate the application window for FY 2019 funding under this specific notice, the program description captures the purpose and structure of the funding: to support humanitarian mine action and related assistance in Afghanistan through a single grant award up to about $1.65 million, awarded by the U.S. Department of State office responsible for weapons removal and abatement programming.Apply for SFOP0006132
