Opportunity Information: Apply for W9126G 23 2 SOI 4043
The Department of Defense, through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Fort Worth District, is seeking a partner to provide cultural resources support for Edwards Air Force Base (Edwards AFB) in California under a cooperative agreement. This announcement is not requesting a full technical proposal or budget yet; instead, it is a Request for Statements of Interest (SOI) intended to identify qualified organizations that have the capability and past experience to perform similar cultural resources work. The detailed scope is referenced in an attached Statement of Objectives, which is where the government lays out the anticipated tasks and deliverables.
Eligibility is limited in a very specific way: the cooperative agreement is being offered only to members of the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units (CESU) Program, within the CESU Region(s) identified in the full opportunity materials. In other words, while the listing may appear broadly open at first glance, the text clarifies that only CESU-member organizations in the relevant region(s) can be selected. If an applicant is eligible and ultimately chosen, the award will be governed by the terms in the Request for Proposal and by the recipient’s existing CESU Master Agreement. The CESU-established indirect cost rate applies, and it is set at 17.5 percent for this opportunity.
Funding is structured in phases. For the base period, the government anticipates about $589,842 available to support the initial work. Beyond that, the announcement notes the possibility of additional funding totaling up to $3,863,552 for optional tasks and/or follow-on work in later years, awarded to the successful recipient depending on need and available funds. The opportunity is expected to result in a single award.
The legal authority cited for the project is 16 USC 670c-1, the Sikes Act. The notice also highlights a Sikes Act preference: for projects tied to implementing and enforcing Integrated Natural Resources Management Plans (INRMPs), priority should be given to federal and state agencies that have responsibility for conserving or managing fish or wildlife. Practically, this means applicants should be mindful of how their organization type and mission align with Sikes Act priorities, and how their capabilities support installation management needs.
The period of performance begins with an 18-month base period starting from the date of award. The government may then exercise up to five additional follow-on periods, each lasting 12 months, contingent on funding availability. This structure signals the potential for a multi-year relationship if performance and funding support continued work.
At this stage, applicants are only being asked to submit an SOI demonstrating qualifications, relevant past performance, and the ability to carry out the required cultural resources support. A full proposal and budget are explicitly not requested right now, which typically means the SOI should focus on credentials, specialized expertise, comparable project examples, staffing capacity, and an understanding of the general mission rather than detailed pricing.
Statements of Interest were due by 5:00 P.M. Central Time on August 29, 2023. Submissions were to be sent by email (as attachments), and questions directed to the USACE contacts listed in the notice: Sandy Justman, Grants Specialist (Sandra.justman@usace.army.mil, 817-913-8685) and David Leptien, Project Manager (david.b.leptien@usace.army.mil, 402-889-5570). The opportunity listing identifies the title as “Cultural Resources Support for Edwards AFB, CA,” funding opportunity number W9126G 23 2 SOI 4043, with the activity category listed under science and technology and other research and development, and CFDA number 12.005.Apply for W9126G 23 2 SOI 4043
