Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity is a US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Fort Worth District funding announcement for a cooperative agreement to provide Installation Natural Resource Management Plan (INRMP) implementation support for Navy Region Hawaii and Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam on Oahu, Hawaii. The activity is positioned under science and technology and other research and development (CFDA 12.005), and it is being competed as a single anticipated award with an award ceiling of $6,663,438. The notice makes clear that applicants are not being asked for a full technical proposal or a detailed budget at this stage; instead, the government is soliciting initial Statements of Interest that indicate capability, fit, and intent to participate.
The work itself is described at a high level in the posting, with the detailed anticipated tasks located in an attached Statement of Objectives (SOO) referenced in the announcement. In practical terms, the project is framed around implementing and supporting an existing INRMP, which typically involves on-the-ground natural resource management and compliance activities tied to military installation stewardship obligations. Because the announcement is issued under Sikes Act authority (16 USC 670c-1), it is specifically oriented toward projects that carry out and enforce INRMPs, and it notes a statutory priority for federal and state agencies with responsibility for conservation or management of fish and wildlife. That emphasis signals that the government is looking for partners able to execute conservation, monitoring, habitat management, and related natural resources actions in a way that aligns with installation requirements and interagency coordination expectations.
Eligibility is restricted to organizations participating in Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units (CESUs), and only certain CESU regions are allowed for this opportunity: Hawaii-Pacific Islands, Colorado Plateau, and Rocky Mountain Units. That restriction is central: even well-qualified entities outside those CESU units would not be eligible under the terms of this posting. The eligible applicant field is listed broadly as "Others," but the CESU limitation effectively narrows the pool to partners within those specific CESU networks that can receive and administer cooperative agreements consistent with CESU and Sikes Act requirements.
The period of performance is structured as a 12-month base period starting from the date of award, with the possibility of up to six additional 12-month follow-on periods. Those follow-on periods are explicitly contingent on the availability of funding, which means continued work beyond the first year would depend on annual funding decisions and satisfactory project progress. In total, the structure allows for up to seven years of performance when combining the base and potential follow-ons, supporting longer-term continuity for INRMP implementation needs at the installation.
From a submission and timing standpoint, the government plans to review Statements of Interest over a 30-calendar-day window from the date the notice was posted. The posting date is March 27, 2026, and the original closing date shown is April 27, 2026, matching that 30-day review timeline. Questions and responses are directed to two USACE Fort Worth District points of contact: Nicholas A. Aprea (Grants Specialist) at nicholas.a.aprea@usace.army.mil and Nicole D. Baker (Project Manager) at nicole.d.baker@usace.army.mil. The opportunity number is W9126G262SOI8227, and the title is "Installation Natural Resource Management Plan Implementation Support to Navy Region Hawaii and Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Oahu, Hawaii," which should be used for reference in correspondence.
Overall, this is an early-phase solicitation step aimed at identifying qualified CESU partners for a potentially multi-year cooperative agreement supporting natural resource management plan implementation on Oahu for Navy-managed lands and facilities. The key takeaways for interested parties are the CESU-unit eligibility limitation, the Sikes Act/INRMP mission focus, the single expected award with a defined ceiling, the base-plus-follow-on structure, and the fact that only a Statement of Interest is requested at this stage rather than a complete proposal package.
