Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0006406
The grant opportunity titled 20.PMWRA.UkraineBAC.NOFO (Funding Opportunity Number SFOP0006406) 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 was created on January 27, 2020, with an original application closing date of April 15, 2020. The program falls under CFDA 19.800 and is structured to support humanitarian mine action and explosive hazards mitigation efforts in Ukraine starting in fiscal year 2020.
The core purpose of the opportunity is to fund activities that reduce the threat posed by explosive remnants of war and other explosive hazards to civilians and to enable safer access to land and infrastructure. PM/WRA invites eligible organizations to propose projects that can include battle area clearance and humanitarian demining, as well as explosive ordnance response and disposal operations. Applicants may also propose technical and non-technical survey work to identify, confirm, and map hazardous areas, which is often a prerequisite for prioritizing clearance tasks and targeting resources efficiently. In addition to field operations, the opportunity explicitly allows for national capacity support, meaning projects can include efforts that help Ukrainian institutions and partners strengthen their ability to manage and sustain mine action and explosive ordnance mitigation over time. Another allowable component is explosive ordnance risk education, which focuses on informing at-risk communities about how to recognize explosive hazards and adopt safer behaviors to reduce accidents.
Funding is provided through a grant instrument, with an announced award ceiling of up to $10,000,000. The notice indicates the Department of State anticipates making one award, but it also notes a wide range in possible total funding (stated as between $0 and $10,000,000). Importantly, PM/WRA explicitly reserves the option to make no awards at the end of the process, which signals that funding is contingent on factors such as proposal quality, alignment with U.S. government priorities, feasibility, and availability of funds.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations that have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. In practical terms, this means qualified nonprofit implementers with demonstrated technical capability in demining, explosive ordnance disposal, survey operations, risk education, and capacity building are the intended applicants. The notice also references that specific goals, objectives, and technical requirements for application packages are provided in the full solicitation, implying that applicants are expected to submit detailed operational plans, methodologies, safety and quality management approaches, and measurable objectives tailored to the Ukrainian context.
Overall, this opportunity is designed to support a comprehensive set of mine action functions in Ukraine, ranging from identifying hazardous areas and clearing explosive contamination to building local capability and educating communities to prevent injuries and deaths. The program’s structure suggests PM/WRA is seeking a capable nonprofit partner that can deliver technically rigorous, safety-focused, and impact-oriented programming, potentially at a significant scale, while meeting the Department of State’s stated requirements and priorities for FY2020 engagement in Ukraine.Apply for SFOP0006406
