Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0005936
The grant opportunity titled 19.PMWRA.Colombia.HMA.NOFO.1 (Funding Opportunity Number SFOP0005936) is a discretionary U.S. Department of State program administered by the Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement (PM/WRA). It is focused on humanitarian mine action in Colombia, specifically in the department of Cauca, and it is intended to support operational demining work during U.S. fiscal year 2019. The core purpose is to reduce the threat that landmines and other explosive hazards pose to civilians by funding activities that identify contaminated areas and then remove the hazards so land can be used safely again.
The funded work is centered on humanitarian demining operations, with an explicit emphasis on both survey and clearance. In practical terms, this means applicants are expected to propose field activities that first determine where mines and explosive remnants of war are located (survey) and then physically remove and dispose of them (clearance). The opportunity highlights "high-impact minefields," signaling that the program prioritizes areas where contamination is likely to be causing the greatest harm or restriction, such as blocking access to communities, farmland, schools, roads, water sources, or other essential services. While the notice references additional goals, objectives, and technical requirements being detailed elsewhere in the application package guidance, the headline deliverable is straightforward: safe release of land in Cauca through properly planned and executed mine action tasks.
The award structure indicates PM/WRA anticipated making a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with a maximum possible federal funding amount (Award Ceiling) of up to USD 3,000,000. The instrument type is a grant rather than a contract, which generally means the applicant organization designs and implements a proposed program aligned with PM/WRA objectives, and then carries it out with federal oversight and reporting requirements rather than delivering a procurement-style service. The assistance listing (CFDA) is 19.800, which is associated with the Department of State's weapons removal and abatement assistance portfolio.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations that have 501(c)(3) status with the Internal Revenue Service, excluding institutions of higher education. In other words, U.S.-recognized charitable nonprofits can apply, but universities and colleges are not eligible under this specific notice. The opportunity was created on May 31, 2019, and the original application deadline was July 8, 2019, which implies a relatively short submission window and suggests applicants were expected to already have substantial mine action capacity, local partnerships, and operational readiness to deploy or expand quickly in Cauca.
In summary, this NOFO offered up to $3 million for one qualified 501(c)(3) nonprofit to conduct survey and clearance of high-impact minefields in Cauca, Colombia, under the Department of State PM/WRA humanitarian mine action framework, with the overall intent of reducing civilian harm and restoring safe access to land and infrastructure through professional demining operations.Apply for SFOP0005936
