Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Sole Source Cooperative Agreement with SCA" (Funding Opportunity Number MVD 15 0001) is a discretionary funding announcement from the Department of the Army, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. It is structured as a cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources activity category, meaning the recipient is expected to work closely with the agency in carrying out the proposed work rather than operating entirely independently. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Louis District states its intent to make a single award on a sole-source basis to SCA to support field and technical assistance efforts across five projects within the Mississippi Valley Division.
The purpose of the agreement is to provide assistance in several practical, on-the-ground resource management and safety areas. The work includes GIS and GPS support (such as collecting, managing, and improving spatial data that can be used for planning, mapping, asset tracking, and operational decision-making), forestry activities (which may involve forest health tasks, stand improvement, invasive species monitoring, and related management support), wildlife management assistance (supporting habitat management, surveys, and stewardship actions that align with project resource objectives), and efforts that promote public safety at the identified Corps projects. Taken together, the scope points to applied conservation and operational support that helps the Corps manage public lands and facilities while improving safety outcomes for visitors and staff.
This opportunity was posted on April 3, 2015, created on April 2, 2015, and closed on April 14, 2015, with an archive date of May 14, 2015. The agency anticipated one award, with an award ceiling of $73,600. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed, so applicants were not expected to contribute non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving the award. Eligibility is limited to nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), although the notice specifically indicates the award is intended to be sole source with SCA rather than competed broadly among eligible entities.
For access issues or assistance related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Valerie Carlton, Supervisory Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 615-736-7976 with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
