Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0006598
The grant opportunity titled 20.PMWRA.UkraineBAC.NOFO.V2 (Funding Opportunity Number SFOP0006598) is a discretionary U.S. Department of State grant issued by the Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement (PM/WRA). Its purpose is to fund activities in Ukraine starting in U.S. fiscal year 2020 that reduce the threat posed by landmines, unexploded ordnance, and other explosive remnants of war. In practical terms, the program is designed to make contaminated land and infrastructure safer for civilians and to support broader humanitarian and stabilization goals by enabling safer movement, resettlement, recovery, and access to services.
The scope of work is centered on conventional weapons destruction and humanitarian mine action activities. The notice invites proposals for battle area clearance and humanitarian demining, which generally involve identifying, marking, and clearing explosive hazards from land and conflict-affected areas. It also covers explosive ordnance response and disposal, meaning rapid or planned actions to locate, render safe, remove, or destroy explosive threats. Applicants may also propose technical and non-technical survey work, which includes information gathering and on-the-ground verification to define the location, extent, and priority of contamination so that clearance resources are used efficiently. In addition, the opportunity explicitly includes national capacity support, which typically refers to training, mentoring, systems development, and other assistance that helps Ukrainian institutions sustain mine action capabilities over time. Explosive ordnance risk education is also eligible, supporting efforts to educate at-risk communities about how to recognize hazards, avoid dangerous behaviors, and report suspected items safely.
Funding is offered as a grant under CFDA number 19.800. The announcement lists an award ceiling of up to USD 10,000,000 and indicates the agency anticipates making an award in a range from USD 0 up to USD 10,000,000. The wording also makes clear that PM/WRA may choose not to make any awards at all at the end of the process, which is an important planning consideration for applicants. The notice indicates an expected number of awards of 1, suggesting a single sizable implementing partner may be selected, though the agency retains discretion depending on proposals received and available funding.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations that have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. This means applicants generally must be qualified U.S.-recognized charitable nonprofits (or similarly recognized entities meeting the specified criteria) with the organizational capacity to plan and execute complex field operations, manage safety and quality assurance processes, coordinate with relevant authorities, and comply with U.S. government grant requirements.
Key timing details in the source information show the opportunity was created on March 6, 2020, with an original application closing date of April 15, 2020. The overall intent is to support mine action programming in Ukraine beginning in fiscal year 2020, with specific goals, objectives, and technical requirements referenced as being provided in the full application instructions tied to the notice of funding opportunity.Apply for SFOP0006598
