Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Management of Undesirable Plants on Federal Land in the Willamette Valley, Oregon" (Funding Opportunity Number NWP 14 0013), was issued by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Portland District, under the Department of the Army, Corps of Engineers. It was posted on June 27, 2014, with an original and final closing date of July 30, 2014, and later archived on August 29, 2014. The funding activity falls under Natural Resources and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which generally implies active involvement by the federal agency in carrying out or overseeing the work rather than a hands-off pass-through award.
The purpose of the opportunity is to support the management of invasive species and other undesirable plants on federal lands managed by the USACE Portland District in Oregon's Willamette Valley. The announcement emphasizes that invasive and noxious weeds can reduce the quality and usability of public lands, harm agricultural productivity, disrupt ecosystem processes, and in some cases create health hazards for people. The core intent is to prevent or reduce these impacts through coordinated vegetation management actions on USACE properties in the region, which can include activities like identifying infestations, prioritizing treatment areas, and implementing control measures consistent with applicable laws and land management goals.
A key feature of this opportunity is that USACE stated its intent to make a sole-source cooperative agreement with the Oregon Department of Agriculture (ODA). In practice, this means the agency planned to award to ODA without a competitive selection among multiple applicants, typically because the agency determined ODA was uniquely positioned to carry out the work due to statutory authorities, statewide responsibilities, technical capacity, or existing coordination structures for noxious weed management. Reflecting that structure, eligibility was limited to state governments, and the expected number of awards was one.
The award was to be made pursuant to 7 USC 2814(c), a statutory authority specifically addressing the management of undesirable plants on federal lands. While the synopsis does not list a detailed scope of work or deliverables, the framing points to on-the-ground invasive plant control and management support on USACE Portland District lands within the Willamette Valley, potentially leveraging ODA expertise in noxious weed programs, compliance frameworks, and interagency coordination.
Financially, the opportunity listed an estimated total funding amount of $25,000. The notice indicates no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient would not be required to provide a non-federal match as a condition of receiving the funds. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as $0 in the source data, which typically reflects how the posting was configured in the system rather than suggesting no funding; the estimated total funding amount is the more informative figure here.
For administrative and access questions, the posting provided a point of contact: Karen Dailey, Contract Specialist/Grants Specialist, reachable by phone at 503-808-4615, specifically for those who had difficulty accessing the full announcement electronically.
