Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0006651
The grant opportunity titled 20.PMWRA.UkraineBAC.NOFO.V3 (Funding Opportunity Number SFOP0006651) is a discretionary U.S. government grant issued by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement (PM/WRA). It is designed to support mine action and explosive hazards mitigation activities in Ukraine, with work planned to begin in U.S. fiscal year 2020. The overall purpose is humanitarian and safety-driven: reduce the threat to civilians and help restore safe access to land and infrastructure by addressing explosive remnants of war and other explosive hazards found in areas affected by conflict.
The program scope is broad and covers several types of mine action and weapons-removal work. Activities specifically called out include battle area clearance (systematic clearance of explosive hazards from affected terrain), humanitarian demining (clearance of landmines and other explosive hazards to humanitarian standards), explosive ordnance response and disposal (EOR/EOD, including responding to and safely disposing of discovered munitions), and both technical and non-technical survey (gathering information and confirming contamination to prioritize and plan clearance effectively). In addition to operational clearance and disposal tasks, the opportunity also supports national capacity assistance, meaning efforts that strengthen local institutions, systems, and personnel so Ukraine can manage explosive hazards more independently over time. It also allows for explosive ordnance risk education (EORE) programs, which focus on informing at-risk communities about recognizing hazards and adopting safer behaviors to reduce injuries and deaths.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The funding instrument is a grant (not a contract), and the assistance listing is associated with CFDA/Assistance Listing number 19.800, which is commonly tied to State Department political-military and related assistance activities. The funding activity category is listed as "Other," with additional clarification referenced in the full notice text.
In terms of funding size and award expectations, PM/WRA set an award ceiling of up to $10,000,000. The notice states that PM/WRA anticipates making an award in a range up to that ceiling, but it also explicitly reserves the right to make no awards at all as a result of the competition. While the listing notes "ExpectedAwards: 1," the language also emphasizes agency discretion and the possibility that an award might not be issued at the end of the process.
Key timing details from the notice include a creation date of March 16, 2020, and an original application closing date of April 15, 2020. Applicants were expected to submit full application packages that respond to specific goals, objectives, and technical requirements described in the complete notice. In practical terms, this means proposed projects would be evaluated not only on general relevance to Ukraine mine action needs, but also on how well they align with PM/WRA technical expectations for clearance, survey methods, safety and quality management, risk education design, and plans for building sustainable national capability.
Overall, this opportunity is aimed at experienced humanitarian mine action organizations capable of deploying and managing technical field operations in Ukraine and/or delivering high-impact risk education and capacity support. The central outcome PM/WRA is seeking is measurable reduction of explosive hazard risk through clearance and disposal, improved understanding of contamination through survey, stronger local systems for long-term management of explosive threats, and better-informed communities that can avoid accidents while clearance and response operations continue.Apply for SFOP0006651
