Opportunity Information: Apply for W911KB 23 2 0013
The Department of Defense, through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Alaska District, released a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Environmental Cultural Resources Survey, Draughon Range (DR), Misawa Air Base, Japan" (Funding Opportunity Number W911KB 23 2 0013). The project is structured as a cooperative agreement and falls under the Environment funding activity category (CFDA 12.005). It was posted on August 8, 2023, with an original application deadline of September 8, 2023.
The core purpose of the grant is to support environmental compliance work at Misawa Air Base (MAB), a U.S. Air Force installation located in Aomori Prefecture, Japan. In practical terms, the opportunity is focused on cultural resources compliance, meaning the identification and documentation of archaeological and other culturally significant resources that may exist on or near the installation, particularly in the Draughon Range (DR) area. The work is meant to help the installation meet its compliance obligations by ensuring that culturally important sites and materials are properly surveyed, recorded, and considered in management decisions.
The scope highlights two main service components. First, the awardee is expected to develop and conduct a Pedestrian Reconnaissance Survey for cultural resources at Draughon Range. This typically refers to systematic, on-the-ground walking surveys across defined areas to locate and preliminarily evaluate cultural resources such as artifacts, features, or site boundaries. Second, the awardee must carry out an archaeological site field documentation effort, coordinated in consultation with the Misawa City Board of Education (BOE). That consultation requirement signals that local stakeholders and Japanese authorities or community representatives are expected to be engaged, and that documentation practices and reporting may need to align with local processes and expectations.
Financially, the opportunity anticipates a single award with a maximum (ceiling) amount of $220,000 and an expected award count of one. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with a note directing applicants to review the full opportunity package for clarification on who qualifies and any restrictions or special conditions. Overall, this opportunity is best understood as a targeted cultural resources field survey and documentation project intended to reduce compliance risk and improve stewardship of cultural and archaeological resources associated with military land use at Misawa Air Base, with explicit coordination with local Japanese educational and cultural authorities.Apply for W911KB 23 2 0013
