Opportunity Information: Apply for DFOP0010805
The grant opportunity titled 24.PMWRA.NorthernTriangle.PSSM.NOFO (Funding Opportunity Number DFOP0010805) is a U.S. Department of State program administered by the Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement (PM/WRA). It is a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement, which typically means the government expects to stay actively involved during implementation rather than simply providing funds and stepping back. The program is focused on Physical Security and Stockpile Management (PSSM) activities in the Northern Triangle, a term commonly used to refer to El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras, where strengthening weapons and ammunition storage practices is often tied to broader public security, stability, and risk-reduction goals.
The central purpose of the award is to support practical, on-the-ground efforts that improve how weapons, ammunition, and related explosive materials are secured, accounted for, stored, and managed. In general, PSSM work aims to reduce theft, diversion, loss, accidental explosions, and unauthorized access, while also improving accountability and safety procedures at storage locations. While the notice indicates that the detailed goals, objectives, and technical requirements are contained in the full application instructions, the overall intent is clear: fund an implementing partner that can work with relevant security-sector counterparts to assess vulnerabilities, upgrade physical infrastructure and storage systems where appropriate, strengthen inventory and recordkeeping practices, and build local capacity through training, mentoring, and sustainable procedures.
Funding under this notice is capped at a total of up to USD 5,000,000 for fiscal year 2024. PM/WRA anticipates making one award, but it reserves the option to issue multiple awards; however, even if more than one award is made, the combined total across all awards will not exceed USD 5,000,000. The published award ceiling is USD 5,000,000, and the expected number of awards listed is 1. The opportunity’s CFDA/Assistance Listing number is 19.800, which corresponds to State Department political-military assistance activities.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations that have 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. This means applicants must be qualified U.S.-recognized charitable nonprofits (or similarly eligible entities meeting the specified criteria) and should be prepared to demonstrate compliance status, organizational capacity, and the ability to manage U.S. government funds under a cooperative agreement structure. Because this is a cooperative agreement, applicants should also be prepared for substantial programmatic coordination with PM/WRA, including regular reporting, joint planning, and potential government input on technical approaches, prioritization of sites, or coordination with partner-nation stakeholders.
Key administrative details include a posting (creation) date of 2024-04-03 and an original application closing date of 2024-06-07. The funding activity category is listed as "Other," which reflects the specialized nature of weapons removal and abatement work. In practical terms, a competitive application would normally be expected to present a strong technical plan for PSSM in the Northern Triangle, including a clear theory of change, implementation timelines, risk management, monitoring and evaluation approaches, and evidence of experience working with security-sector institutions and sensitive commodities. Applicants should also be ready to show they can operate safely and responsibly in complex environments and that their approach emphasizes sustainability so that host-nation counterparts can maintain improved security and stockpile practices after the period of U.S. support ends.Apply for DFOP0010805
