Opportunity Information: Apply for 72049224RFA00001
The USAID/Papua New Guinea Peace Project is a U.S. Agency for International Development funding opportunity seeking proposals from qualified organizations to implement a peace-focused program in Papua New Guinea through a cooperative agreement. USAID plans to select the applicant that best meets the opportunity objectives, using the merit review criteria laid out in the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO), and the final selection is also subject to a risk assessment. The opportunity is listed as discretionary funding, categorized under "Other" activities, and tied to CFDA 98.001.
This solicitation is open to unrestricted applicants, meaning a broad range of entity types may apply as long as they meet the eligibility requirements described in the NOFO (particularly Section C) and submit all required information. USAID emphasizes that applicants should read the full NOFO carefully to understand the specific program approach being sought, the required application components, how submissions must be formatted and delivered, and how USAID will evaluate and select proposals. While the short description does not spell out the detailed technical objectives, it makes clear that the winning applicant will be held accountable for delivering the program objectives as presented in its own technical application (referenced as being summarized in Section A of the NOFO).
USAID encourages applicants to partner with other organizations, including through consortia, to strengthen technical quality and improve efficiency in time and resources. In a consortium arrangement, unless the NOFO states otherwise, the applicant submitting the proposal is treated as the lead organization and would receive the award if selected. The lead is also responsible for managing partners and ensuring the full set of proposed activities and results are achieved, consistent with what was promised in the submitted application.
The total potential funding is substantial: the award ceiling is $26,000,000, and USAID anticipates making one award. The opportunity number is 72049224RFA00001, and it was created on 2023-12-18 with an original closing date of 2024-02-22. The issuing agency is listed as USAID (USAID-Manila/Philippines USAID-Manila), while the project itself is focused on Papua New Guinea.
From an applicant compliance standpoint, USAID highlights several standard but critical federal requirements. Applicants must maintain the necessary federal registrations, including a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) and active registration in the System for Award Management (SAM), as described in the NOFO (referenced as Section D.10). Because registration can take weeks, organizations are urged to begin the process early to avoid missing deadlines. Applications are submitted through Grants.gov, and USAID notes that the posting can be amended, so applicants are responsible for checking Grants.gov regularly to make sure they are working from the most current version.
The announcement also explains how questions are handled. Applicants must submit questions to the points of contact listed in Section G of the NOFO by the stated question deadline. USAID will then share responses to questions received before the deadline through an amendment posted to Grants.gov, so all potential applicants have access to the same clarifications and guidance.
Finally, the notice includes standard federal disclaimers: posting the NOFO does not commit the U.S. Government to make an award, and it does not obligate the Government to cover any costs incurred by applicants while preparing or submitting an application. Applicants bear all costs and assume the risk of applying, including any issues related to data transmission or file conversion through Grants.gov, and are directed to the Grants.gov Helpdesk for technical support if they encounter system access or registration problems.Apply for 72049224RFA00001
