Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0008400
The opportunity titled 21.PMWRA.22November2021.Unsolicited.RFI (Funding Opportunity Number SFOP0008400) is issued by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement (PM/WRA). It invites eligible organizations to submit unsolicited concept notes for activities that support the U.S. Conventional Weapons Destruction (CWD) Program. In practical terms, PM/WRA is looking for early-stage project ideas rather than fully developed applications, with a focus on reducing the dangers posed by conventional weapons and explosive remnants of war in affected communities.
The types of projects encouraged under this request span several core CWD lines of effort. These include small arms and light weapons destruction, humanitarian demining, explosive ordnance disposal, and victim assistance programs, along with other related initiatives that align with conventional weapons destruction goals. The overall intent is to identify impactful interventions that improve safety and security, reduce civilian harm, and help countries and communities recover from the legacy of conflict and weapons contamination.
This is categorized as a discretionary opportunity and anticipates using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which typically implies substantial involvement by the U.S. government in shaping, guiding, or coordinating aspects of the project during implementation. The activity category is listed as "Other" (with additional clarification referenced in the full notice), and the opportunity is associated with CFDA number 19.800, which corresponds to State Department foreign assistance programming in this area.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofits that have IRS 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The posting indicates a creation date of September 22, 2021, with an original closing date of November 22, 2021. The notice does not specify a funding ceiling and lists expected awards as zero, which is consistent with the nature of an unsolicited concept note request: it functions more like an open invitation for organizations to propose ideas that could be considered for future funding or development, rather than a conventional competition with a defined number of awards and a set budget range.Apply for SFOP0008400
