Opportunity Information: Apply for W9126G 22 2 SOI 4237
The Department of Defense, through the US Army Corps of Engineers (Fort Worth District) on behalf of the US Air Force, released a grant opportunity called "Forestry Management Support, Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst (JBMDL)" focused on providing professional and technical assistance tied to the installation's Integrated Natural Resources Management Plans (INRMPs). The work is intended to support implementation of the Sikes Act (16 USC 670c-1), which guides how military installations manage natural resources while still meeting mission requirements. This announcement is not asking for a full proposal up front; it is a Request for Statements of Interest (SOI) meant to identify qualified investigators or organizations that can carry out the needed forestry and habitat management support.
The core objective described is tree thinning in selected areas on the Lakehurst portion of JBMDL in New Jersey. The government points offerors to a draft Scope of Objectives (SOO) for specifics, but the stated intent is clear: thinning is expected to improve overall forest health and promote natural recovery of understory and ground vegetation. In turn, the improved habitat is expected to benefit a wide range of native wildlife, including birds, mammals, reptiles, and amphibians, by providing better conditions for feeding, sheltering, breeding, and other life cycle needs. In other words, the project is both a forestry management effort and a habitat restoration effort aligned with installation conservation planning.
Funding is described in two layers. About $40,285 is expected to be available for the base period, contingent on funding availability, and additional option periods may be funded later if money remains available. The posting also lists an award ceiling of $319,787 and anticipates a single award, which suggests the project could be structured with a base year plus options that extend the total potential value over time. The instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the government expects to have substantial involvement during performance rather than operating purely as a hands-off grant.
Eligibility is limited: applicants must be non-federal partners within one of the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units (CESU) units referenced in the full announcement. That requirement is emphasized as a qualification gate, meaning organizations outside the CESU network (or not an eligible non-federal partner within it) would not be considered. The opportunity is categorized under "Other" with a science and technology/research and development activity classification, and it references CFDA 12.005.
The submission requested at this stage is strictly an SOI showing capabilities, relevant experience, and any needed skills or certifications to perform similar forestry management and related technical work. The agency explicitly states that a full study proposal and a proposed budget are not requested at this time. Instead, an installation or activity review board will evaluate SOIs and select the best fit for the project objectives; only those selected will be invited to submit a full proposal later. The evaluation focus is on specific experience and demonstrated capability aligned to the study and implementation requirements in the SOO.
Performance expectations are described as non-severable, meaning the work is treated as a whole and is not considered complete until final reports are produced and submitted after surveys and final data analysis are finished. Each awarded period is anticipated to run for 12 months from the date of award, which aligns with the base-plus-options structure mentioned elsewhere.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number W9126G 22 2 SOI 4237, creation date July 28, 2022, and an original closing date of August 28, 2022, with SOIs due by 5:00 PM Central Time on that date. Points of contact listed are Sandy Justman, Contract Specialist at USACE Fort Worth District (sandra.justman@usace.army.mil, 817-886-1073) and Margaret McCullough Wells, Project Manager at USACE Omaha District (margaret.m.wells@usace.army.mil, 402-995-2590). The notice also mentions that the SOI announcement must be posted for at least 30 days before the government makes a decision and requests full proposals, reinforcing that this is a qualification and down-select step rather than the final proposal round.Apply for W9126G 22 2 SOI 4237
