Opportunity Information: Apply for W9126G 23 2 SOI 3594
The Department of Defense, through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Fort Worth District, announced a cooperative agreement opportunity called "NATURAL RESOURCES SUPPORT for FORESTRY BRANCH, FORT STEWART/HAAF, GEORGIA" (Funding Opportunity Number W9126G 23 2 SOI 3594). The effort supports forestry and natural resources work at Fort Stewart and Hunter Army Airfield (HAAF) in Georgia. It is positioned as applied science/technology and natural resource support, with the detailed technical requirements referenced in an attached Statement of Objectives (SOO) that accompanies the notice.
Eligibility is limited: only members of the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units (CESU) Program in the region(s) identified in the opportunity are allowed to compete. The award will be made under the terms of the solicitation and the recipient's existing CESU Master Agreement, meaning the partnership structure, compliance expectations, and administrative rules are anchored to the CESU framework. Applicants should also factor in the CESU indirect cost rate, which is explicitly stated as 17.5%, since that rate governs allowable indirect costs under this mechanism.
The government is not asking for a full technical proposal or a detailed budget at this stage. Instead, the notice is a Request for Statements of Interest (SOI), and the purpose is to screen for organizations that can demonstrate relevant qualifications and capacity to perform similar forestry and natural resource support work. In practical terms, the SOI should emphasize credentials, past performance, staff expertise, relevant project experience, and the ability to deliver the types of tasks described in the SOO, rather than pricing or a fully developed workplan.
Funding is structured across multiple years. The base period is expected to have about $1,834,480 available for a 12-month period of performance beginning at award. The government anticipates up to four additional 12-month follow-on periods (for a total potential performance window of five years), but those follow-on efforts are explicitly contingent on mission need and the availability of funds. Across the base and potential follow-on periods, the anticipated total funding is $8,068,223, and the notice indicates the government expects to make one award. Importantly, the specific objectives and scope for the follow-on tasks are not fully locked in upfront; they will be determined after earlier periods are completed and then negotiated and added through modifications to the agreement.
The submission deadline for the Statement of Interest is 5:00 P.M. Central Time on July 26, 2023. Submissions are sent by email as attachments, and the notice provides two points of contact at USACE Fort Worth District: Sandra Justman, Grants Specialist (sandra.justman@usace.army.mil, 817-886-1073) for submission and grants-related questions, and Kathy Mitchell, Project Manager (kathy.s.mitchell@usace.army.mil, 817-886-1709) for technical or project-related questions. The SOO in the related documents is the primary reference for the anticipated work, and any organization preparing an SOI would need to align its qualifications directly to those outlined requirements.Apply for W9126G 23 2 SOI 3594
