Opportunity Information: Apply for W9126G252SOI4849
This grant opportunity is a cooperative agreement being offered by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Fort Worth District, to support the United States Marine Corps with implementation-related planning and reporting tied to Integrated Natural Resources Management Plans (INRMPs) and Integrated Cultural Resources Management Plans (ICRMPs). The stated project focus is "Multimedia Planning and Technical Reporting" for USMC Installations and Logistics (I&L), Marine Corps Installations Command (MCICOM), Marine Corps Installations Pacific (MCIPAC), and specifically Marine Corps Base (MCB) Hawaii. In practical terms, the effort is aimed at providing technical support products (plans, reports, and other deliverables that may span multiple media and formats) that help the Marine Corps carry out and document actions required under its integrated management plans for natural and cultural resources across these installations.
The opportunity is not requesting a full technical proposal or a detailed budget at this stage. Instead, applicants are being asked to submit a Statement of Interest, which will be reviewed within 30 calendar days of the posting date. This is a common two-step approach for cooperative agreements under certain federal partnership programs, where the agency first identifies qualified partners and concepts before inviting fuller proposals later. The closing date shown for the opportunity is August 7, 2025, and the government anticipates making one award.
The period of performance is structured as a long-term support arrangement. The base period is 18 months from the date of award, with up to six follow-on periods, each also 18 months. If all periods are exercised, this would create a multi-year partnership intended to provide continuity for planning, compliance support, and technical reporting over time rather than a one-off study. The award ceiling is listed as $4,742,000, indicating the maximum anticipated federal funding level associated with the project across the agreement structure (as published). The assistance listing referenced is CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) 12.005, which aligns with Department of Defense-related assistance programs.
Eligibility is narrowly limited. This funding opportunity is only available to entities within specific Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units (CESUs), specifically the Colorado Plateau, Hawaii-Pacific Islands, and Californian CESU units. CESUs are regional consortia designed to link federal agencies with universities and other partners for research, technical assistance, and educational services. Because this notice restricts eligibility to those CESU networks, an applicant generally must be a current CESU partner within one of the named units to be considered. The notice also emphasizes "SIKES AUTHORITY ONLY," meaning the work is being pursued under the Sikes Act authority (16 USC 670c-1). Under the Sikes Act, military installations are required to develop and implement INRMPs in cooperation with relevant stakeholders, and the statute directs that priority be given to federal and state agencies responsible for conservation or management of fish or wildlife when executing projects that implement and enforce these plans. That priority statement signals that partners with direct fish and wildlife conservation or management missions (and demonstrated capability in that space) may be especially competitive or aligned with the intent of the authority.
From an applicant standpoint, the immediate action implied by the notice is to prepare and submit a concise Statement of Interest rather than a full proposal package. Questions and responses are directed to the listed USACE Fort Worth District contacts: Nicholas Aprea (Grants Specialist) at Nicholas.A.Aprea@usace.army.mil and Greg Bonnell (Project Manager) at Gregory.W.Bonnell@usace.army.mil. The awarding/administrating agency is identified as the Fort Worth District, and the award instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement during performance (for example, coordinating technical direction, reviewing deliverables, and collaborating on work planning).
Overall, this opportunity is best understood as an extended technical support and documentation effort to help the Marine Corps execute and report on natural and cultural resources obligations embedded in INRMPs and ICRMPs, with a particular geographic emphasis in the Pacific (including MCB Hawaii) and an administrative pathway restricted to certain CESU networks under Sikes Act authority.Apply for W9126G252SOI4849
