Opportunity Information: Apply for W9126G 20 2 SOI 4876
This Department of Defense opportunity (Fort Worth District) is a Request for Statements of Interest (RSOI) for a project titled "Integrated Natural Resources Management Plan (INRMP) Support at Fort Hunter Liggett (FHL) and Parks Reserve Forces Training Area (PRFTA)." The project was intended to start in 2020 and is designed to provide professional and technical assistance that helps Fort Hunter Liggett successfully carry out the requirements of the Sikes Act (16 USC 670c-1), which directs military installations to manage natural resources through Integrated Natural Resources Management Plans developed and implemented in coordination with appropriate partners.
The core purpose of the work is straightforward: the selected cooperator will prepare two revised INRMPs, one for Fort Hunter Liggett and one for Parks Reserve Forces Training Area in California. The support is for the Directorate of Public Works, Environmental Division, Natural Resources Program at these installations. In practical terms, this means updating the planning documents that guide how the installations manage natural resources while still supporting military training and readiness, and ensuring the plans remain compliant and implementable under the Sikes Act framework.
Funding is modest and targeted. The announcement indicates approximately $89,987 is expected to be available, with one award anticipated. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, reflecting the expectation of substantial involvement and coordination between the government and the awardee during development of the revised INRMPs. The opportunity is categorized under natural resources and is listed under CFDA 12.300.
Eligibility is narrow and is one of the main gatekeeping features of this notice. Interested parties must be non-federal partners in the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units (CESU) National Network to be considered. The notice specifically points to the Californian CESU and the Colorado Plateau CESU regions as the relevant CESU affiliations. While public and state-controlled institutions of higher education are listed as eligible applicants in the source data, the CESU non-federal partner requirement is emphasized as mandatory for qualification. The cooperative agreement would be issued through the CESU program, and the CESU Network indirect cost rate of 17.5 percent would apply, but only if both parties mutually agree and formally authorize its use.
Administratively, the RSOI process is being used to identify potential investigators rather than requesting full proposals upfront. The notice directs interested applicants to review the attached RSOI and Statement of Objectives (SOO) documents for the complete scope, expectations, and submission details. Key dates shown in the source data include a posting/creation date of June 26, 2020, and an original closing date of July 27, 2020.Apply for W9126G 20 2 SOI 4876
