Opportunity Information: Apply for W911KB 23 2 0006
The Department of Defense (DoD), through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Alaska District, announced a discretionary funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number W911KB 23 2 0006) to support the Army's Integrated Training Area Management (ITAM) program on the island of Oahu, Hawaii. The project is focused on delivering vegetation management services and broader ITAM support for multiple Army training lands and ranges, specifically Schofield Barracks, South Range, East Range, Kahuku Training Area, Dillingham Training Area, Makua Military Reservation, and Kawailoa. The intent is to keep these training areas functional and safe while meeting environmental stewardship requirements that come with managing large, intensively used outdoor training environments.
The core work falls into two connected tracks: vegetation management and ITAM technical support. Vegetation management centers on maintaining vegetation to specified heights and conditions to support both environmental protection and physical safety. This includes controlling encroaching shrubs and trees that can create hazards, restrict access, interfere with training activities, or contribute to fire risk and other safety concerns. In addition to trimming and control work, the opportunity also calls for revegetation of bare ground areas, with the goal of establishing sustainable ground cover. That element is typically tied to erosion control, sediment reduction, habitat and watershed protection, and keeping heavily used training corridors from degrading into chronic dust and runoff sources.
The ITAM support component includes geospatial and assessment functions that help the Army monitor land condition and plan maintenance strategically. Specifically, the opportunity references GIS functions, which commonly involve maintaining and updating spatial data, producing maps and analytical layers for management decisions, and supporting reporting or planning products used by range staff. It also includes Range and Training Land Assessments (RTLA), which are systematic evaluations of training land conditions. RTLAs are generally used to document impacts, identify problem areas (such as erosion, vegetation loss, or damaged infrastructure), prioritize remediation, and track trends over time so land managers can balance mission use with long-term sustainability.
The funding instrument for the award is a cooperative agreement, which usually indicates a closer working relationship with the federal sponsor than a standard grant, often with substantial federal involvement in coordination, review, or technical direction during performance. The funding activity category is listed as Environment (CFDA 12.005), reflecting the land stewardship and environmental management purpose of the work even though it directly supports military readiness and training capacity.
The opportunity anticipated a single award with an award ceiling of $1,437,916 and an expected number of awards of 1. It was posted with a creation date of April 28, 2023, and an original closing date of May 31, 2023. Eligibility is noted as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement, meaning interested applicants would need to consult the full Funding Opportunity Description (Section I and the eligibility clarification text) to confirm organizational fit and any special restrictions or preferences.
In practical terms, this opportunity is about keeping Oahu-based Army training lands usable and resilient by combining on-the-ground vegetation control and restoration with the data, mapping, and assessment work needed to target maintenance efficiently and document land condition over time. The result the Army is aiming for is sustained training capability across multiple installations and ranges, reduced safety and environmental risks, and better planning and accountability through GIS-backed assessments.Apply for W911KB 23 2 0006
