Opportunity Information: Apply for W9126G262SOI9008
The AFCEC Land Management Mapping for CONUS/Europe/PACAF Air Force Installations opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number W9126G262SOI9008) is a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Fort Worth District funding notice seeking statements of interest for a cooperative agreement focused on land management mapping support for U.S. Air Force installations across the continental United States (CONUS), Europe, and the Pacific Air Forces (PACAF) areas. The work is described at a high level in the notice, with the detailed anticipated tasks and requirements referenced in an attached Statement of Objectives (SOO). At this stage, applicants are not being asked to submit a full technical proposal or a detailed budget; the government is collecting initial responses first and will decide later whether to invite full proposals.
The award instrument is a Cooperative Agreement under CFDA 12.005, categorized under Science and Technology and other Research and Development. The agency anticipates making a single award, with an overall award ceiling listed as $59,332,041. The period of performance includes a 12-month base period starting from the date of award, with the possibility of up to four additional 12-month follow-on periods, contingent on the availability of funding. This structure suggests a potential multi-year effort where continued work is exercised incrementally year by year rather than guaranteed all at once.
Eligibility is narrow and specific. The opportunity is only available to Cooperative Ecosystem Study Units (CESU) within the Colorado Plateau and Desert Southwest regions. In addition, the notice states "SIKES AUTHORITY ONLY," meaning the project is being pursued under the Sikes Act (16 USC 670c-1). Under this authority, priority is to be given to federal and state agencies that have responsibility for conserving or managing fish and wildlife, particularly in connection with implementing and enforcing Integrated Natural Resources Management Plans (INRMPs) on military installations. In practical terms, applicants should be prepared to show alignment with INRMP-related outcomes and demonstrate that they are an eligible CESU participant in the specified regions.
The process and timeline described indicate that required statements of interest (RSOIs) must be posted on Grants.gov for 30 days before the government makes a decision and potentially requests full proposals. The original closing date listed is May 26, 2026. Questions and responses are directed to the listed USACE contacts: Maria Lopez, Grants Specialist (Maria.E.Lopez@usace.army.mil, 817-886-1881) and Joshua Wurtz, Project Manager (Joshua.C.Wurtz@usace.army.mil, 334-790-2568).Apply for W9126G262SOI9008
