The Department of State’s Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement (PM/WRA) seeks information for a Quick Reaction Force (QRF) capability. This grant aims to establish a globally deployable force to rapidly address and mitigate the harmful effects of conventional weapons. Key objectives include reducing landmines, explosive remnants of war (ERW), and risks from unplanned munitions site explosions (UEMS). The initiative also focuses on managing at-risk or illicit small arms and light weapons (SA/LW) and conventional ammunition. Operational capacities include ERW clearance, destroying excess munitions, enhancing physical security at storage facilities, and improving stockpile management practices to international standards. U.S. non-governmental organizations (NGOs) with no foreign ownership are encouraged to respond.
