Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Fort Worth District is announcing a government funding opportunity for work titled "Bat Surveys - Little Brown Myotis at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson (JBER)." The project is focused on bat survey work related to the little brown myotis at JBER in Alaska, and it falls under the Science and Technology and other Research and Development category. The notice makes clear that detailed technical requirements are provided in an attached Statement of Objectives (SOO), and that document is where applicants would find the specific anticipated tasks, methods, deliverables, and survey expectations.
This opportunity is being offered as a cooperative agreement (not a standard procurement contract), and it is posted under Funding Opportunity Number W9126G262SOI8777 with CFDA 12.005. At this stage, the government is not asking for a full study proposal or a proposed budget. Instead, applicants are expected to submit a statement of interest (often called an RSOI). After reviewing those statements, the government may invite selected respondents to submit full proposals later.
Eligibility is limited in an important way: the opportunity is only available to Cooperative Ecosystem Study Units (CESU) within the Alaska and Colorado Plateau Regions. In addition, it is explicitly issued under Sikes Act authority (16 USC 670c-1), which is the legal framework supporting natural resources work on military installations tied to Integrated Natural Resources Management Plans (INRMPs). Consistent with the Sikes Act language cited in the notice, priority is intended for federal and state agencies that have responsibility for conservation or management of fish or wildlife, which signals the programmatic intent to align this work with established wildlife management mandates and installation natural resource planning.
The anticipated period of performance is structured as an 18-month base period starting from the date of award, with the possibility of up to two additional 18-month follow-on periods if funding is available. In other words, the project could run for 18 months initially and potentially extend for a total of up to 54 months (18 + 18 + 18), depending on future funding decisions and government need.
In terms of funding scale and competition, the listing indicates an award ceiling of $206,025 and an expectation of one award. The original closing date shown is 2026-04-10. The review process is also described: statements of interest must be posted on Grants.gov for 30 days before the government makes a selection decision and potentially requests full proposals, so respondents should plan around that minimum public posting and consideration window when timing their submission.
For coordination and questions, the notice provides two points of contact at USACE Fort Worth District: Maria Lopez, Grants Specialist (Maria.E.Lopez@usace.army.mil, 817-886-1881) and David Leptien, Project Manager (David.B.Leptien@usace.army.mil, 402-889-5570). Applicants who believe they are eligible through the relevant CESU regions would typically use these contacts to clarify submission expectations for the RSOI and to confirm where to find and how to interpret the attached SOO that contains the detailed scope.
