Opportunity Summary:
The Forest Inventory and Harvest Plan at NSF Dahlgren, Virginia grant opportunity is a Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) Washington, DC cooperative agreement intended to update and modernize long-range forest planning at the Naval Support Facility Dahlgren (NSFD) in King George County, Virginia. NSFD has managed its forest resources under a written plan for more than 40 years, but its most recent comprehensive forest management plan was produced by Virginia Techs Forestry Department in 1997. That earlier plan estimated timber volume and growth across desired rotation periods, provided management recommendations, and laid out a 100-year harvest schedule. Since then, several timber harvests have been completed, with the most recent occurring in 2003. While inventories were conducted in 1992 and 1993 (Virginia Tech and NSFD staff) and again in 2000 (NSFD staff), the Navy determined that an updated, installation-wide forest inventory and a new long-range management and harvest plan are needed.
The central purpose of the agreement is twofold: first, to conduct a forest inventory of all accessible forest stands on NSFD, and second, to produce an updated forest management and harvest plan. The plan is expected to reflect a sustainable, multiple-use philosophy that balances timber and other resource values with natural resources stewardship, biodiversity protection, and broader ecosystem management principles. The opportunity is also explicitly tied to the Navy meeting responsibilities under the Sikes Act Improvement Act (16 USC 670 et seq), which governs natural resources management on military installations and emphasizes coordinated, conservation-minded planning.
The work would take place on roughly 4,320 acres along the western shoreline of the Potomac River in Virginias Northern Neck region. The installation is split by Upper Machodoc Creek into two main areas: Mainside (about 2,678 acres), which includes operational and support functions as well as military housing, and Pumpkin Neck (about 1,641 acres), which contains two large testing areas and scattered testing facilities. About half of the installation is forested, and the forest resource includes a mix of pine-hardwood, hardwood, and pine stands. These forests, together with grasslands, shrublands, and a range of wetland habitats, support a diverse wildlife community. Because NSFD conducts explosive operations, some areas may require special clearance before fieldwork can begin. Access coordination is handled through the NSFD Natural Resources Office (NRO), and the selected cooperator is expected to check in with the NRO before starting work each day to ensure safe and authorized access.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, this was a discretionary opportunity offered as a single expected award under a cooperative agreement structure, meaning the government anticipates collaboration and involvement beyond what is typical for a standard grant. The total funding was set at $50,000, with an award floor and ceiling both listed as $50,000, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement. Eligible applicants included nonprofits, universities, and state and local governments (with the listing indicating additional eligibility detail in the full announcement). The funding opportunity number was N4008008LTC0006, associated with CFDA 12.300 (Basic and Applied Scientific Research). The announcement was posted July 23, 2008, with an original and current closing date of August 13, 2008, and it was archived September 12, 2008. The contracting point of contact listed for access issues with the announcement was Tammey Crouse, Contracting Officer, at 202-685-3162.
