Opportunity Information: Apply for PM PMWRA 17 001
The opportunity titled 17.PMWRA.15October2016.UnsolicitedProposal.RFI (Funding Opportunity Number: PM PMWRA 17 001) is a U.S. Department of State request for organizations to submit unsolicited concept notes for work that supports the U.S. Conventional Weapons Destruction (CWD) program in fiscal year 2017. It is administered by the Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement (PM/WRA), and it is framed as an open invitation to propose ideas that align with the U.S. governments conventional weapons risk-reduction priorities rather than a narrowly defined solicitation with a single prescribed project.
The core activities the Department of State is seeking ideas for center on reducing harm from conventional weapons and explosive hazards. Specifically, PM/WRA is looking for concept notes related to small arms and light weapons (SALW) destruction, humanitarian demining, explosive ordnance disposal (EOD), and assistance programs for victims affected by landmines and explosive remnants of war. The notice also leaves room for other project concepts as long as they clearly fit within the broader CWD mission, meaning proposals can potentially cover adjacent needs such as clearance operations, stockpile security and destruction approaches, technical survey and risk assessment methods, capacity building for local EOD teams, or community-level interventions that reduce exposure to explosive threats, provided they are consistent with PM/WRA program objectives.
From an administrative and eligibility standpoint, the listing characterizes the award mechanism as a discretionary grant under CFDA 19.800, and it indicates that eligible applicants are unrestricted, implying a wide range of organizations may submit concept notes (for example, nonprofits, NGOs, international organizations, academic entities, or other capable implementers, depending on standard U.S. government grant rules and any additional requirements that would be detailed in the full notice). The posting is not presented as a typical competitive funding announcement with a stated total funding amount or a clear maximum award size; the award ceiling is listed as 0 and expected awards are not specified, which usually signals that the notice is primarily about collecting project concepts for consideration rather than advertising a fixed pot of money tied to a single competition.
The timeline information provided shows the opportunity was created on 2016-09-19 with an original closing date of 2016-10-15. In practice, that means interested organizations would have been expected to submit a concept note by mid-October 2016 for potential inclusion in PM/WRA planning and funding decisions for FY 2017. Because the notice explicitly emphasizes that it is a request for unsolicited concept notes, the main purpose is to invite implementers to propose solutions and project ideas proactively, giving PM/WRA a pool of actionable concepts to review, refine, and potentially advance into funding discussions or later-stage proposal requests.Apply for PM PMWRA 17 001
