Opportunity Information: Apply for DFOP0014380
The grant opportunity titled 24.PMWRA.SouthernIraqHMA.NOFO (Funding Opportunity Number DFOP0014380) is a discretionary U.S. Department of State program administered by the Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement (PM/WRA). It is structured as a grant (not a contract) and is intended to support humanitarian mine action style activities in Iraq during U.S. fiscal year 2024. The core purpose is to reduce harm to civilians and enable safer use of land and infrastructure by addressing explosive hazards through a combination of technical field operations and community-focused safety outreach.
Programmatically, the opportunity focuses on three interconnected lines of effort. First, it funds explosive hazards survey activities, which typically include non-technical and technical survey work to identify, confirm, and delineate areas contaminated by landmines, unexploded ordnance, or other explosive remnants of war. Second, it supports clearance operations, meaning the physical removal, neutralization, or destruction of explosive threats and the release of land for safe civilian use. Third, it includes explosive ordnance risk education (EORE), which is the delivery of practical, culturally appropriate safety messaging to people who may be exposed to explosive hazards, with the goal of changing behaviors that lead to accidents and improving community reporting of suspicious items.
Financially, PM/WRA anticipates making a single award under this notice, with a maximum funding level (award ceiling) of up to USD 4,000,000. The listing references CFDA/assistance number 19.800, which is commonly associated with State Department public assistance programs. The opportunity was created on 2024-05-06 and had an original application closing date of 2024-06-06, indicating a relatively short application window typical of targeted operational awards.
Eligibility, as stated in the notice, is geared toward non-traditional recipients in the sense that it specifies Foreign Public Entities (FPEs) and Public International Organizations (PIOs) among eligible applicants, and the general eligibility category is listed as "Others." In practical terms, this points to applicants such as international organizations or foreign governmental or quasi-governmental bodies that can implement humanitarian demining and risk education programs, rather than limiting eligibility strictly to U.S.-based nonprofits. As with many PM/WRA-funded programs, applicants should expect that the solicitation includes detailed technical requirements for how survey, clearance, and EORE must be planned, managed, quality assured, and reported, even though those detailed requirements are referenced rather than fully reproduced in the short description.
In terms of what a strong application would generally need to demonstrate under a PM/WRA weapons removal notice, the proposal would usually be expected to lay out a clear operational plan for survey and clearance (including task prioritization, methodologies, staffing, equipment, safety management, and quality management), paired with an EORE approach that is evidence-based and tailored to the affected populations. It would also typically need to describe coordination mechanisms with relevant national and local stakeholders, explain how data will be collected and shared (for example, contamination and land release data, accident reporting trends, and EORE reach), and present a realistic budget and timeline aligned with the geographic and technical scope in southern Iraq. The overarching intent is to deliver measurable reduction of explosive hazard risk through tangible land release and safer community behaviors, using established humanitarian mine action practices and rigorous reporting and accountability.Apply for DFOP0014380
