Opportunity Information: Apply for DFOP0010803
The opportunity titled 24.PMWRA.Nigeria.PSSM.NOFO (Funding Opportunity Number DFOP0010803) is a U.S. Department of State grant competition run by the Bureau of Political-Military Affairs, Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement (PM/WRA). It is a discretionary funding opportunity that will be issued as a cooperative agreement, meaning the Department of State expects to remain actively involved with the recipient during planning and implementation rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The program focus is a physical security and stockpile management (PSSM) effort in Nigeria, scheduled for fiscal year 2025, aimed at improving how weapons and ammunition are secured, stored, tracked, and managed to reduce loss, theft, diversion, accidents, and other safety risks tied to poorly secured stockpiles.
Funding is expected to support one award, with an anticipated maximum (award ceiling) of up to $500,000. The opportunity is associated with CFDA/Assistance Listing 19.800 and falls under the broad funding activity category labeled "Other." The application deadline listed is June 1, 2024, and the opportunity was created on April 2, 2024. While the short description does not list detailed deliverables, it makes clear that specific goals, objectives, and technical requirements are contained in the full notice of funding opportunity, which applicants would need to follow closely when preparing the application package.
Eligibility is limited primarily to nonprofit organizations that hold 501(c)(3) status with the IRS (and that are not institutions of higher education). The notice also references Public International Organizations, suggesting the broader program area may engage international entities, but the explicit eligible applicant category provided in the source data is U.S. 501(c)(3) nonprofits excluding universities. In practical terms, this type of PSSM project often involves activities such as conducting security and safety assessments of storage sites, improving physical infrastructure (for example, locks, fencing, lighting, secure storage upgrades), strengthening inventory controls and recordkeeping, training personnel in safe storage and handling procedures, and building sustainable management practices so improvements continue after the award ends. Since this is a cooperative agreement, applicants should also be prepared for substantial coordination with PM/WRA on technical approaches, monitoring, reporting, and any required adjustments during implementation.
Overall, this NOFO is designed to fund a single, targeted initiative that measurably strengthens the security and management of weapons and ammunition stockpiles in Nigeria, with the broader public safety and stability goal of preventing diversion and reducing the risks posed by inadequately secured or poorly managed arsenals.Apply for DFOP0010803
