Opportunity Information: Apply for W9126G 24 2 SOI 3301
The Natural Resources Support - Beale AFB, CA opportunity is a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Fort Worth District cooperative agreement aimed at providing natural resources support at Beale Air Force Base in California. The project is being pursued under the Sikes Act authority (10 USC 670c-1 / referenced also as 16 USC 670c-1 in the notice), which supports implementation and enforcement of Integrated Natural Resources Management Plans (INRMPs) on military installations. A key emphasis of the Sikes Act language included in the announcement is that, for INRMP-related work, priority should be given to federal and state agencies that have responsibility for conservation or management of fish and wildlife.
Eligibility is limited. This is not an open competition to the general public; it is only available to organizations that are members of the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units (CESU) Program, specifically within the Californian or Colorado Plateau CESU units. The award will be made through the CESU framework, meaning the selected recipient must accept the terms in the request materials as well as the terms of the recipient's CESU Master Agreement. The established CESU indirect cost rate called out in the announcement is 17.5 percent, which is important for budgeting and understanding how overhead is handled under this mechanism.
The agency is currently requesting Statements of Interest (SOIs), not full technical proposals at this stage. The SOI is intended to help USACE identify capable organizations, and the notice indicates that applicants should focus on demonstrating qualifications and capability to perform the same or similar work. The detailed scope is referenced as being in an attached Statement of Objectives (not included in the text provided), so the immediate requirement is more about organizational experience, relevant past performance, personnel expertise, and the ability to execute natural resources management support consistent with INRMP implementation needs.
In terms of funding and timing, approximately $899,050 is expected to be available for the base period. The base period of performance is 18 months from the date of award, and the agreement may include up to four additional 18-month follow-on periods if funding is available, suggesting a potential multi-year relationship and continuity of work. The notice also mentions optional tasks and/or follow-on work in subsequent years, indicating the base award may be expanded depending on mission needs and appropriations. The listing includes an award ceiling of $9,608,500 and an expected number of awards of one, which signals the government anticipates selecting a single CESU partner for the work, with the ceiling reflecting the maximum potential value across base and potential follow-on efforts.
Submission instructions are straightforward: SOIs were due by 12:00 P.M. Central Time on July 15, 2024, and were to be submitted by email attachments. The primary contacts listed are Sandy Justman, Grants Specialist (Sandra.justman@usace.army.mil, 817-886-1073), and David Leptien, Project Manager (david.b.leptien@usace.army.mil, 402-889-5570).
