Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0006127
The funding opportunity titled 19.PMWRA.Afghanistan.Project 28.NOFO (Funding Opportunity Number SFOP0006127) is a discretionary grant competition run by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement (PM/WRA). It was created on August 20, 2019, and originally closed on October 19, 2019. The program is listed under CFDA (now often referenced as an assistance listing) 19.800, which generally covers State Department activities related to weapons removal and abatement and similar humanitarian security assistance efforts.
At a practical level, the grant is meant to support on-the-ground humanitarian mine action in Afghanistan during U.S. fiscal year 2019. The notice emphasizes three broad, eligible program areas: humanitarian demining, explosive ordnance disposal (EOD), and victim assistance. Humanitarian demining typically refers to surveying, marking, clearing, and releasing land contaminated by landmines and other explosive remnants so communities can safely use it again. EOD programming generally focuses on locating, identifying, safely removing, and disposing of unexploded ordnance and other explosive hazards, often including rapid response and risk reduction in areas where contamination threatens civilians. Victim assistance programs usually center on helping survivors of mines/ERW and affected families through services such as medical care coordination, physical rehabilitation, psychosocial support, and socioeconomic reintegration, depending on the structure of the project.
Funding is capped at an award ceiling of up to $1,939,597, and the agency anticipated making one award under this specific notice. That structure suggests a single, relatively substantial project rather than multiple smaller grants, meaning applicants would be expected to propose a coherent, Afghanistan-focused program plan that can be implemented at scale within the budget limit. While the notice mentions that specific goals, objectives, and technical requirements are detailed elsewhere in the solicitation, the general intent is clear: reduce harm to civilians, address explosive contamination, and support people already impacted by mines and explosive remnants of war.
Eligibility is limited to U.S.-recognized nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. In other words, the target applicant pool is primarily experienced nonprofit implementers rather than universities or for-profit contractors. The funding instrument is explicitly a grant, which typically implies the government is supporting a program designed and executed by the grantee (within approved work plans and compliance rules), rather than directly procuring services as in a contract.
Overall, this opportunity is a State Department PM/WRA humanitarian mine action grant for Afghanistan, designed to fund a single nonprofit-led project (or integrated set of activities) focused on clearing explosive hazards, safely disposing of ordnance, and/or providing direct assistance to victims, with total federal support not expected to exceed about $1.94 million.Apply for SFOP0006127
