Opportunity Information: Apply for W9126G 24 2 SOI 2233
The Integrated Training Area Management (ITAM) Support to TRADOC Proponent Office (TPO) Ranges opportunity is a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Fort Worth District funding notice seeking partners to support Army training lands and range programs under the ITAM framework. The award will be issued as a cooperative agreement, meaning the government expects active involvement in the work rather than a simple pass-through grant. This announcement is not requesting a full technical proposal yet; it is a Request for Statements of Interest (SOI) used to identify qualified organizations that can demonstrate they have the right experience, personnel, and capacity to perform similar work. Organizations whose SOIs best match the program needs will later be invited to submit a full proposal and budget.
Eligibility is limited to members of the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units (CESU) Program within the Colorado Plateau and Great Plains CESU regions. The project will be executed under the Sikes Act authority (10 USC 670c-1), which governs natural resources management on military installations and emphasizes implementation and enforcement of Integrated Natural Resources Management Plans (INRMPs). Consistent with the Sikes Act, the notice highlights that priority may be given to Federal and State agencies that have responsibility for conserving or managing fish and wildlife, reflecting the natural resources focus that typically accompanies ITAM support work on training ranges.
Funding for the base period is expected to be about $671,612.38 for a 12-month performance period starting from the date of award. The notice also signals that additional funding may be available for optional tasks and follow-on work in later years, with up to four additional 12-month periods possible if funds remain available and the government continues to have a need. While the opportunity lists an award ceiling of $3,552,204 and anticipates a single award, the immediate action for applicants is limited to the SOI phase. The CESU program indirect cost rate is identified as 17.5%, which is an important constraint for eventual budgeting once an organization is invited to submit a full proposal.
The specific scope of work is referenced as being contained in an attached Statement of Objectives, rather than spelled out in the announcement text. In practical terms, that means interested CESU members should tailor their SOI to show they can perform ITAM-related support for TRADOC proponent ranges, including experience with military training land management, natural resources compliance and planning tied to INRMPs, and any scientific, technical, or operational capabilities relevant to sustaining training realism while protecting environmental resources. Because evaluation will consider how well the SOI aligns with program objectives, applicants are expected to emphasize directly relevant past performance, the qualifications of the proposed Principal Investigator, and the organization’s ability to deliver on similar projects.
Statements of Interest were due by June 5, 2024 at 12:00 PM Central Time and had to be submitted by email. The primary contacts listed are Sandy Justman, Grants Specialist at USACE Fort Worth District (sandra.justman@usace.army.mil; 817-886-1073) and Kali Evans, Project Manager (kali.evans@usace.army.mil; 402-768-1048). After submission, SOIs are reviewed by an evaluation board associated with the receiving installation or activity. The board selects the submissions that best meet the objectives and demonstrate the strongest expertise and capacity, and only those selected organizations will be asked to develop and submit a complete proposal package.
Key identifiers for the opportunity include the title "Integrated Training Area Management (ITAM) Support TRADOC Proponent Office (TPO) Ranges," Funding Opportunity Number W9126G 24 2 SOI 2233, CFDA 12.005, and an activity category aligned with science and technology and other research and development. Overall, this is a targeted, CESU-only, qualifications-first solicitation intended to quickly identify the most capable partner for multi-year ITAM and natural resources support work connected to TRADOC range and training land requirements under the Sikes Act framework.Apply for W9126G 24 2 SOI 2233
