Opportunity Summary:
The Invertebrate Species Survey at Naval Base Point Loma, San Diego, CA is a U.S. Navy natural resources grant opportunity issued by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) to support field surveys of invertebrates on Naval Base Point Loma in San Diego, California. The work is specifically tied to requirements in the installation's 2002 Integrated Natural Resources Management Plan (INRMP), which is the guiding document used on many military installations to plan, document, and implement natural resource compliance and stewardship actions. The core purpose of this project is to collect and document invertebrate occurrence information on the base, with an emphasis on surveying night-flying insects using light-based sampling methods.
The award is offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources activity category, with a single award expected. The total estimated funding for the project is $10,200, and the award ceiling is also $10,200, meaning proposals should be scoped to fit within that amount. Cost sharing or matching is not required, which can make participation more feasible for smaller programs that may not have additional funds available to contribute.
Eligibility is limited to certain organization types that can credibly execute scientific survey work, including private institutions of higher education, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding universities where applicable under the listing). The CFDA listing associated with the opportunity is 12.300, Basic and Applied Scientific Research, which signals that the work is treated as a research-oriented effort even though it is driven by site management and compliance needs.
Timing and submission requirements are clearly defined. The opportunity was posted on August 14, 2010, with proposals due by 3:00 PM Pacific Time on September 16, 2010. The notice also indicates an amendment issued on August 30, 2010. That amendment added or incorporated a supporting resource: a Naval Base Point Loma plant species list titled "Plant Species Detected on Point Loma" dated July 2002. The amendment did not change the due date, but it likely provided additional context for applicants about habitat types, botanical community composition, and potential sampling considerations that may affect invertebrate survey design and interpretation.
In practical terms, the project involves implementing a survey program on the installation with a strong nocturnal component, since the announcement highlights sampling night-flying insects using light sampling. Light sampling commonly refers to methods such as ultraviolet or mercury vapor light setups paired with sheets or traps, used to attract and document moths, beetles, and other flying insects active after dark. Because the objective is to meet INRMP requirements, deliverables would typically include properly documented species observations, standardized field notes, and an organized dataset that the Navy can use for long-term management, compliance reporting, and future planning. Even though the announcement is brief, the framing suggests the Navy is seeking a structured survey approach rather than informal collecting, meaning applicants would generally be expected to outline sampling locations, frequency, seasonal timing, data handling procedures, and reporting methods appropriate for an installation natural resources program.
The opportunity was administered through NAVFAC, and the listed point of contact for assistance with accessing the full announcement is Linda Protocollo, Contract Specialist and Cooperative Agreement Administrator, reachable by phone at 619-532-1159. The solicitation ultimately closed and was archived on October 16, 2010, but the details remain a useful snapshot of a small, targeted federal natural resources project focused on improving baseline knowledge of invertebrate species presence at Naval Base Point Loma.
