Opportunity Information: Apply for W9126G 24 2 SOI 3270
The Integrated Training Area Management Program (ITAM) Support opportunity is a US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Fort Worth District funding announcement seeking partners to support ITAM work at Yuma Proving Ground in Yuma, Arizona. The award will be made as a cooperative agreement, meaning the government expects an active partnership with the recipient during project execution rather than a simple pass-through grant. The project is positioned under an environmental assistance focus (CFDA 12.005) and is presented as a competitive selection within a very limited eligibility pool.
Eligibility is restricted to organizations that are members of the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units (CESU) Program in the Californian, Colorado Plateau, or Desert Southwest CESU Regions. Applicants outside those CESU regions are not eligible. Any eventual award will be governed both by the specific terms in this request and by the recipient organization's existing CESU Master Agreement. The announcement also highlights the CESU-established indirect cost rate of 17.5 percent, which is the standard rate applied to CESU cooperative agreements unless otherwise specified.
At this stage, USACE is not asking for a full technical proposal or a detailed budget. Instead, they are soliciting Statements of Interest (SOIs) to identify qualified CESU partners that have the capability, relevant experience, and appropriate personnel (especially a highly qualified Principal Investigator) to perform the anticipated work. The agency will use the SOIs as a screening tool: submissions that best align with the program objectives and demonstrate strong qualifications will be invited to submit a full proposal later.
Funding for the base period is anticipated to be approximately $195,000, with the possibility of additional funding for optional tasks and/or follow-on work in later years. The base period of performance is 24 months from the date of award. If funding remains available and the work supports ongoing needs, the government may add up to three additional 12-month follow-on periods. While the listing notes an overall award ceiling of $815,807, the initial expectation is the smaller base amount, with growth dependent on options and future-year decisions.
The description of the work refers applicants to an attached Statement of Objectives for the detailed tasking. In general terms, the project is framed as ITAM support at a major Army testing and training installation, which typically involves work that helps sustain mission readiness while managing natural and cultural resources and maintaining compliance with applicable environmental requirements. The exact scope, deliverables, and performance expectations are intended to be clarified in the Statement of Objectives referenced in the announcement.
SOIs must be submitted by 12:00 P.M. Central Time on July 20, 2024. Submissions are sent by email attachment, and questions can be directed to the points of contact listed: Sandy Justman, Grants Specialist (sandra.justman@usace.army.mil, 817-886-1073) and Kathy Mitchell, Project Manager (kathy.s.mitchell@usace.army.mil, 817-886-1709). After the deadline, an evaluation board associated with the receiving installation/activity will review all SOIs from eligible CESU members and assess which ones best meet program objectives, demonstrate the strongest expertise, and show the highest likelihood of successful performance. Only the strongest candidates will be asked to prepare and submit a full proposal.Apply for W9126G 24 2 SOI 3270
