Opportunity Information: Apply for W9126G 22 2 SOI 3684
The Department of Defense, through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Fort Worth District, announced a cooperative agreement opportunity titled "Herpetofauna Survey at Naval Air Station (NAS) Meridian, Mississippi" (Funding Opportunity Number W9126G 22 2 SOI 3684). The purpose of the announcement is not to collect full technical proposals yet, but to gather Statements of Interest (SOIs) from qualified investigators or organizations who can support the installation's wildlife species management work focused on herpetological species (reptiles and amphibians) at NAS Meridian in Mississippi. The activity falls under science and technology and other research and development (CFDA 12.005).
The government expects to make one award, with approximately $95,500 anticipated for the base year effort. The notice also indicates that additional funding could become available in later fiscal years for added tasks or follow-on work, but that would depend on future needs and funding decisions and would likely go to the selected recipient if performance and program requirements align.
The planned period of performance is a single 18-month effort. While the announcement references specific technical objectives, those are contained in an attached draft Statement of Objectives rather than fully spelled out in the public text. In general terms, the work is intended to provide survey and management support related to amphibian and reptile species on the base, contributing to NAS Meridian's broader Wildlife Species Management Program. That implies field-capable expertise in herpetofauna surveys, species identification, data collection and reporting, and working within the compliance and operational context typical of military installations.
A key feature of this opportunity is the phased selection approach. At this stage, applicants are only being asked to submit an SOI that demonstrates qualifications, relevant capabilities, and prior experience performing similar work. The government explicitly states that a full study proposal and a detailed budget are not requested at this time. Instead, SOIs will be reviewed by an evaluation board made up of personnel from the receiving installation or related activity. After reviewing submissions, the government will decide which respondent or respondents best match program objectives and then invite selected investigator(s) to submit a full proposal. Evaluation is therefore expected to focus heavily on demonstrated technical experience, past performance on comparable herpetological survey or wildlife management projects, and capacity to execute an 18-month field and reporting effort.
Administrative details in the posting include a 30-day availability period on Grants.gov prior to the government making its decision about inviting full proposals. The opportunity was created on June 24, 2022, with responses due by 5:00 P.M. Central Time on July 25, 2022. Points of contact for questions and submissions are listed as Sandy Justman, Grants Specialist, USACE Fort Worth District (Sandra.justman@usace.army.mil), and Kathy Mitchell, Environmental Agreements Project Manager/Biologist, USACE Regional Planning and Environmental Center (kathy.s.mitchell@usace.army.mil, 817-886-1709).Apply for W9126G 22 2 SOI 3684
