Opportunity Information: Apply for W9126G 23 2 SOI 3325
This funding notice is a Department of Defense opportunity, administered through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Fort Worth District, seeking organizations to support natural and cultural resources work at three installations: Joint Base Langley Eustis in Virginia, Joint Base Andrews in Maryland, and Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling in Washington, D.C. The government is not asking for a full technical proposal or a detailed budget at this stage. Instead, it is issuing a Request for Statements of Interest (RSOI) to identify qualified parties that could carry out the work described in the Statement of Objectives (SOO), which is referenced as an attachment.
The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, and the activity area is broadly categorized under science and technology and other research and development. The notice anticipates a single award, with an overall potential ceiling listed as 2,828,460, indicating that the project could expand substantially beyond the initial funding depending on government needs and available funds. For the near term, approximately 83,306 is currently available to support specific work elements identified as base task 1 and optional task 6. The notice also signals that more funding may be added later to cover additional tasks during the base period, and that further funds may be available for optional tasks and follow-on efforts in later years. In practical terms, the government is setting up a multi-year support structure where the initial scope is modestly funded now, but the relationship could continue and grow if the selected recipient performs well and future funding is released.
The period of performance is structured as an 18-month base period followed by four additional follow-on periods, each also 18 months. That structure allows the government to continue the work in increments (rather than committing all years at once), which is common for ongoing support tied to evolving installation requirements, compliance timelines, and emerging priorities. While the specific technical tasks are not spelled out in the text provided (they are in the SOO), the title indicates the work will involve support for managing and complying with requirements tied to natural resources (such as wildlife, habitat, wetlands, species considerations, and related environmental planning) and cultural resources (such as historic properties, archaeological resources, surveys, documentation, and consultation support) across the three named joint bases.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with the expectation that applicants should consult the eligibility clarification language in the full posting. The opportunity number is W9126G 23 2 SOI 3325, and it was posted on June 5, 2023, with an original closing date of July 5, 2023. The notice also explains the process timing: statements of interest must be posted on Grants.gov for 30 days before the government makes a decision and potentially invites full proposals. That means this step functions as an initial screening and market research phase to narrow the field to organizations that clearly demonstrate relevant experience, staffing capability, and an understanding of installation natural and cultural resource support needs.
For questions or submission coordination, the points of contact are Maria Lopez, Grants Specialist (Maria.E.Lopez@usace.army.mil, 817-886-1881), and Brian Hesford, Project Manager (Brian.D.Hesford@usace.army.mil, 402-200-8268).Apply for W9126G 23 2 SOI 3325
