Opportunity Information: Apply for W9126G 21 2 SOI 5122
The Department of Defense, through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Fort Worth District, is seeking Statements of Interest (not full proposals yet) for a cooperative agreement to provide field biology and natural resources technical assistance at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam (JBPHH) on Oahu, Hawaii. The effort is designed to strengthen and support JBPHH's Natural Resources Program so the installation can successfully carry out the requirements and planned actions in its Integrated Natural Resources Management Plan (INRMP), as required under the Sikes Act, while also meeting applicable regional regulatory mandates tied to environmental compliance.
The work is framed as on-site, hands-on professional support rather than a standalone research study. JBPHH is looking for a partner with the capacity to help implement day-to-day and program-level INRMP elements, including technical expertise that spans practical field operations, ecological monitoring, data management, and compliance support. The broader context is that JBPHH's environmental program must ensure military mission activities remain consistent with environmental laws, regulations, and policies, and this project contributes by supplying the biological and natural resources capacity needed to keep management actions on track. The opportunity also sits within the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units (CESU) model, emphasizing collaboration among federal agencies, universities, and partner institutions, and encouraging interdisciplinary, ecosystem-based problem solving across biological, physical, and social science dimensions.
The anticipated scope covers a wide range of natural resource functions. Key activities include general natural resource program support; monitoring and field surveys focused on sensitive species and sensitive habitats; predator control activities to protect vulnerable wildlife and ecosystems; management and upkeep of natural resource databases; response and coordination for injured wildlife; support to conservation law enforcement efforts; and development or delivery of education and outreach that helps communicate natural resource goals, compliance needs, and stewardship practices. In practical terms, the awardee would be expected to operate as embedded technical capacity for the installation, helping JBPHH plan, execute, document, and improve natural resources actions that align with the INRMP.
Funding for the initial period is expected to be approximately $342,023, with the notice indicating that additional funding may be available for follow-on work in later fiscal years if the project continues and funds remain available. The agreement structure includes a 12-month base period from the date of award, with four additional 12-month option periods anticipated. The full potential value can be higher when options are included (the listing shows an award ceiling of $1,769,509), but continuation is dependent on project conditions and funding availability.
Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning a wide variety of entity types may submit, subject to any specific clarifications in the full posted documents. The government is expecting to make a single award. At this stage, applicants are only being asked to submit a Statement of Interest in response to the Request for Statements of Interest (RSOI); a full technical proposal and detailed budget are explicitly not requested yet. The RSOI was required to remain open for at least 30 days, and responses were due August 27, 2021. Questions and submissions are directed to the USACE Fort Worth District points of contact: Grants Specialist Sandy Justman and Project Manager Kathy Mitchell, with contact information provided in the announcement.
In short, this opportunity is essentially a multi-year (base plus options) field biology and natural resources support role for JBPHH, funded via a cooperative agreement, focused on implementing INRMP-driven conservation and compliance actions on Oahu through monitoring, species and habitat management, predator control, data systems support, wildlife response, enforcement support, and public-facing education and outreach.Apply for W9126G 21 2 SOI 5122
