Opportunity Summary:
The Weed and Erosion Control Naval Observatory Flagstaff Station opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number N62473 15 2 0004) is a discretionary cooperative agreement released by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command to support on-the-ground natural resources work at the Naval Observatory Flagstaff Station (NOFS) in Flagstaff, Arizona. The project focuses on practical field services across approximately 287 acres, specifically targeting invasive or exotic pest plant species and implementing erosion control measures. The overall intent is to improve land condition and resilience in a way that aligns with the station's forest management priorities and long-term environmental planning.
The core scope of work is service-based: the selected cooperator is expected to provide labor and technical expertise, along with transportation, to carry out weed treatments and erosion control activities. Staffing is planned for up to six weeks of effort, and the announcement notes that these weeks may be non-consecutive, implying the work could be scheduled in multiple field sessions to match seasonal conditions, site access, or operational constraints. While the notice does not list specific treatment methods, the emphasis on exotic pest plants and erosion control suggests hands-on activities such as invasive plant removal or treatment and stabilization measures to reduce soil loss and protect site integrity.
A key driver behind the work is risk reduction and habitat protection. The announcement explicitly ties weed and erosion control to reducing the likelihood and severity of catastrophic wildfires and to protecting habitat for the Mexican Spotted Owl. These needs are identified in the Integrated Natural Resources Management Plan (INRMP) for NOFS, which is the guiding plan used to prioritize conservation and land stewardship actions on the installation. In practical terms, the project is positioned as both a fuels and landscape health effort (by addressing vegetation conditions that can contribute to wildfire behavior) and a conservation effort (by supporting habitat conditions important to a sensitive species).
The government anticipated making one award under this opportunity, with an estimated total funding amount of $38,800. The award ceiling is also $38,800, with an award floor of $0, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates the agency expects to have substantial involvement during performance compared with a standard grant, often through coordination, technical direction, or joint planning as the work is carried out.
Eligibility is broadly open ("unrestricted"), with the important qualifier that applicants must qualify under applicable Department of Defense grant and agreement regulations (DoDGARS Parts 32, 33, and 34). The listing references CFDA 12.300, Basic and Applied Scientific Research, even though the described work is largely operational and land-management focused; applicants would want to ensure their proposed approach clearly connects field activities, technical expertise, and outcomes to the program purpose and the installation's INRMP objectives.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on February 4, 2015, with an original and current closing date of March 6, 2015, and an archive date of April 5, 2015, indicating it is a historical listing rather than an open solicitation today. For questions or difficulty accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Reagan Pablo, Contract Specialist, at 619-532-2090 or reagan.s.pablo@navy.mil.
