Opportunity Information: Apply for 72DFFP18RFA00002
The grant opportunity titled "IFRP - USAID-FFP IFRP RFA - FINAL FOR APPLICATIONS" is a discretionary USAID funding announcement issued through the Agency for International Development under its Food for Peace (FFP) programming. It was released as a Request for Applications (RFA) for grants, with the intent of funding projects that handle the transportation, delivery, and distribution of shelf-stable, prepackaged food commodities provided under the International Food Relief Partnership (IFRP) program. In practical terms, the focus is not on agricultural production or long-term development programming, but on the logistics and implementation needed to move packaged food assistance to target locations and ensure it is distributed to intended recipients.
USAID is seeking proposals specifically from U.S. private voluntary organizations and international organizations, with eligibility narrowed in the posted data to nonprofits that have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS (and excluding institutions of higher education). The activity category is listed as Food and Nutrition, and the assistance listing/CFDA number tied to the opportunity is 98.008, which signals the broader USAID assistance framework the award falls under. The opportunity uses a grant instrument, meaning applicants would be expected to propose a defined program approach, implementation plan, and budget aligned with the RFA requirements rather than bidding to provide goods or services through a procurement contract.
The funding details indicate an award ceiling of $150,000 per award, with USAID anticipating up to 18 awards. This suggests a portfolio approach where multiple organizations receive relatively modest grants to carry out discrete IFRP-related distribution efforts, potentially in different geographies or through different operational pipelines. Because the ceiling is comparatively low and the expected number of awards is relatively high, applications likely need to be very execution-oriented and cost-conscious, emphasizing feasibility, partner capacity, and a clear plan for managing delivery and distribution activities effectively within budget.
This announcement was explicitly labeled as a "Final RFA for applications," meaning it was presented as the final opportunity window under that particular solicitation and that applicants needed to meet the stated deadline without expecting an extension or additional round under the same RFA. The opportunity was created on April 6, 2018, and the original (and stated) closing date for submissions was Wednesday, May 9, 2018, by 12:00 noon Washington, D.C. Eastern Time. Applicants were directed to consult the attached RFA document for the complete funding opportunity description and full requirements, implying that critical details such as target countries or regions, commodity types, compliance obligations, reporting, evaluation expectations, and application formatting and submission instructions were contained in the full RFA rather than in the brief synopsis.Apply for 72DFFP18RFA00002
