Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0010050
The grant opportunity titled 23.PMWRA.16November2023.Unsolicited.RFI (Funding Opportunity Number SFOP0010050) is a U.S. Department of State request for unsolicited concept notes under the Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement (PM/WRA). It falls under the U.S. Conventional Weapons Destruction (CWD) Program and is structured as a discretionary cooperative agreement, meaning the Department of State expects to have substantial involvement in guiding or coordinating funded activities if a project advances beyond the concept stage.
The program focus is on reducing harm from conventional weapons and explosive hazards in affected communities. PM/WRA is specifically inviting ideas that address small arms and light weapons (SALW) destruction, humanitarian demining, explosive ordnance disposal (EOD), and victim assistance. The scope also includes other related CWD efforts, which can cover practical, field-oriented interventions that reduce threats from landmines, unexploded ordnance, abandoned ordnance, or poorly secured weapons and ammunition. In practice, concept notes would typically describe a clear problem statement (what contamination or weapons risk exists, where, and who is affected), proposed technical approach (how the work would be carried out and by whom), expected outputs and outcomes (for example, land released, items cleared and destroyed, stockpiles secured, survivors assisted), and the operational feasibility and safeguards needed to implement safely.
Eligibility is limited to U.S.-based nonprofit organizations with current 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The CFDA/Assistance Listing number associated with this opportunity is 19.800, which corresponds to Department of State programming in this domain. Because this posting is a request for unsolicited concept notes rather than a standard competitive notice with a defined funding pot, the listing does not specify an award ceiling and shows zero expected awards. That combination usually signals that PM/WRA is gathering and reviewing potential project ideas on an ongoing basis, and may choose to invite select organizations to develop full proposals or may use the information to shape future solicitations.
The opportunity was created on September 15, 2023, with an original closing date of November 16, 2023. In essence, PM/WRA is signaling continued interest in high-impact, well-justified CWD concepts that can be implemented by qualified nonprofit partners, particularly those that can demonstrate technical credibility, strong field access and partnerships, a realistic plan for safety and quality management, and a clear humanitarian or security benefit tied to weapons removal and abatement.Apply for SFOP0010050
