Opportunity Information: Apply for PM PMWRA 18 008
The grant opportunity titled 18.PMWRA.Iraq.ThirdPartyMonitoring.NOFO (Funding Opportunity Number: PM PMWRA 18 008) is a U.S. Department of State competitive funding announcement issued by the Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement (PM/WRA). It seeks applicants to carry out third party monitoring of U.S.-funded explosive remnants of war (ERW) clearance operations in Iraq during U.S. fiscal year 2018. In practical terms, the work centers on independently verifying and assessing the performance, compliance, and results of ERW clearance activities supported by U.S. government funding, providing PM/WRA with credible, objective monitoring information to help ensure programs are being implemented safely, effectively, and in line with required standards.
The assistance mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the U.S. government expects substantial involvement during the period of performance (for example, coordination on monitoring priorities, reporting expectations, access arrangements, and other operational details). The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and is listed under CFDA number 19.800. PM/WRA anticipated making an award with a maximum federal funding level (award ceiling) of up to USD 1,000,000 under this competition, indicating the funded monitoring effort could be resourced at a level suitable for sustained field verification and regular reporting across relevant clearance locations in Iraq.
Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations, both those with IRS 501(c)(3) status and those without 501(c)(3) status (in both cases, excluding institutions of higher education). The notice also indicates eligibility for Public International Organizations (PIOs) and Foreign Public Entities (FPEs), signaling that qualified non-U.S. public entities and international bodies could apply where consistent with U.S. government assistance rules and the specific requirements in the full notice. The awarding agency is the Bureau of Political-Military Affairs - WRA, the office within the Department of State that manages U.S. conventional weapons destruction and related humanitarian mine action programming, including ERW mitigation.
Key timing details included an opportunity creation date of October 10, 2017, and an original application closing date of December 15, 2017. The overall purpose is to fund an independent monitoring function around ERW clearance operations in Iraq, which generally involves collecting evidence from program sites, validating reported outputs and outcomes, checking adherence to applicable technical and safety standards, and delivering structured findings to the U.S. government. While the summary text notes that specific goals, objectives, and technical requirements are detailed in the full application instructions, the core intent of the opportunity is clear: PM/WRA wanted an external, third party mechanism to strengthen oversight and accountability for U.S.-funded ERW clearance work in Iraq during FY2018, supported by up to one million dollars under a cooperative agreement.Apply for PM PMWRA 18 008
