Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0006696
The grant opportunity titled 20.PMWRA.UkraineBAC.NOFO.V4 (Funding Opportunity Number SFOP0006696) is a discretionary grant from the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement (PM/WRA). It was created on March 26, 2020, with an original application closing date of April 15, 2020. The program sits under CFDA 19.800 and is focused on weapons removal and abatement activities tied to civilian safety and stabilization in conflict-affected environments.
At a high level, the purpose of the opportunity is to fund organizations that can plan and carry out humanitarian mine action and explosive hazards mitigation work in Ukraine starting in U.S. fiscal year 2020. The scope is broad and covers several common pillars of mine action programming: battle area clearance (BAC), humanitarian demining, explosive ordnance disposal or response (often including EOD call-out and destruction of explosive remnants of war), technical and non-technical survey (to identify, confirm, and prioritize hazardous areas), national capacity support (helping develop local systems, institutions, procedures, and trained personnel), and explosive ordnance risk education (EORE) intended to reduce injuries and deaths among civilians by changing behavior and improving awareness.
The eligible applicant pool is limited to nonprofit organizations that hold 501(c)(3) status with the IRS and are not institutions of higher education. In practical terms, this usually points to specialized humanitarian demining NGOs and similar nonprofit implementers with demonstrated operational experience, safety management systems, and the ability to comply with U.S. government grant requirements and reporting. While the notice itself indicates that detailed goals, objectives, and technical requirements would be provided in the full application instructions, the activities listed imply a need for credible technical expertise, established standard operating procedures, strong quality management, and the ability to operate responsibly in a complex security environment.
Funding under this notice is described with an award ceiling of up to USD 10,000,000, and the agency indicates it anticipates making an award somewhere in the range between USD 0 and USD 10,000,000. The notice also makes clear that PM/WRA may decide not to make any awards at the end of the process, which is a common federal grant caveat that signals awards are contingent on factors like application quality, program priorities, compliance, and available funds. The expected number of awards is listed as 1, suggesting the bureau was considering either a single large implementer or a lead organization capable of managing a substantial operational footprint and potentially coordinating multiple workstreams.
From an implementation standpoint, the program description points toward end-to-end explosive hazard reduction: surveying suspected hazardous areas, clearing or disposing of explosive threats, educating communities at risk, and strengthening national or local capacity so that Ukrainian institutions can sustain risk reduction over time. Deliverables in programs like this often include cleared land returned to safe civilian use, documented survey results that refine contamination maps and priorities, safe disposal records for ordnance items, training and mentoring outputs for national partners, and measurable EORE reach and behavior-change indicators. Overall, the opportunity is designed to support practical, field-based interventions that reduce harm to civilians and enable recovery and normal life in affected areas by addressing landmines and explosive remnants of war.Apply for SFOP0006696
