Opportunity Information: Apply for SFOP0005791
The opportunity titled 19.PMWRA.1August2019.BiH.Destruction.RFI (Funding Opportunity Number SFOP0005791) was issued by the U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement (PM/WRA). It relates to the U.S. Conventional Weapons Destruction (CWD) Program and focuses on Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH). The core purpose is to identify potential project ideas that would support small arms and light weapons (SALW) destruction and explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) activities in BiH, generally aimed at reducing the risks posed by excess, unsecured, or otherwise dangerous conventional weapons and explosive remnants.
Rather than being a standard open solicitation with defined funding levels and a set number of planned awards, this notice functions as a request for unsolicited concept notes. In practical terms, that means PM/WRA was inviting organizations to submit brief, high-level project concepts that could potentially be developed into a future cooperative agreement, but the government was not committing to funding at the time of the announcement. This is reinforced by the listing of an award ceiling of 0 and expected awards of 0, which typically signals a market-research or idea-gathering posture rather than an immediate grant competition.
The funding instrument contemplated for any follow-on support is a cooperative agreement, which usually indicates the Department of State expects to have substantial involvement in the design, coordination, or oversight of project implementation compared to a standard grant. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary, with the funding activity category marked as "Other" (with additional clarification referenced in the original posting). The CFDA number associated with the program is 19.800, which corresponds to Department of State public assistance programming in this area.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement. This phrasing commonly indicates that eligibility may extend beyond a narrow set of applicant types and could include organizations such as nonprofits, international organizations, NGOs, or other entities with relevant technical capacity, past performance, and compliance ability, depending on the requirements laid out in the complete notice. Because it is a concept-note request, the most important qualification implied by the notice is the applicant's ability to credibly propose and potentially execute SALW destruction and EOD-related work in Bosnia and Herzegovina, including coordination with national authorities and adherence to safety, security, and reporting expectations typical for weapons removal and abatement programs.
Key dates provided include a creation date of April 25, 2019, and an original closing date of August 1, 2019. Overall, the announcement is best understood as PM/WRA signaling interest in actionable project concepts for reducing conventional weapons risks in BiH through destruction of small arms/light weapons stockpiles and disposal of explosive ordnance, while leaving final scope, funding, and award decisions to a later stage after reviewing submitted ideas.Apply for SFOP0005791
