Opportunity Information: Apply for DFOP0016797
The grant opportunity 24.PMWRA.PapuaNewGuinea.UXO.NOFO (Funding Opportunity Number DFOP0016797) is a discretionary U.S. Department of State funding competition run by the Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement (PM/WRA). It is designed to support the establishment of operational capacity in Papua New Guinea (PNG) focused on unexploded ordnance (UXO) and broader humanitarian mine action (HMA) priorities during U.S. fiscal year 2025. In practical terms, the program is aimed at setting up or expanding on-the-ground activities that reduce the risks and impacts of explosive remnants of war, with the specific technical goals and performance expectations to be defined in the full notice and application instructions.
Funding will be provided through a cooperative agreement, which typically means the Department of State expects active involvement during implementation, such as coordination on planning, monitoring, reporting, and potentially technical direction or approvals at key points. PM/WRA anticipates making a single award under this notice, with an award ceiling of up to $2,250,000. The assistance listing reference is CFDA/Assistance Listing 19.800, which is commonly associated with weapons removal and related humanitarian safety programming.
Eligibility, as stated, is open to certain non-traditional categories under this notice, specifically Foreign Public Entities (FPEs) and Public International Organizations (PIOs), with the listing also indicating “Others” as eligible applicants. This suggests the competition may be oriented toward governmental or international bodies capable of running national or multi-stakeholder UXO/HMA operations, though the precise eligibility rules, documentation requirements, and any restrictions would be spelled out in the full NOFO.
Key timing details include an original application closing date of October 20, 2024, and a creation/posting date of July 19, 2024. Applicants should expect the full application package to require a detailed technical proposal aligned to PM/WRA priorities in PNG, along with implementation plans and compliance elements typically required for U.S. federal assistance awards. The short description emphasizes that the NOFO itself contains the specific goals, objectives, and technical requirements applicants must follow, indicating that proposal responsiveness to those requirements will be central to competitiveness.Apply for DFOP0016797
