Opportunity Summary:
The WeedErosion Control, Naval Observatory Flagstaff Station, AZ opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number N62473 12 R EROSION) is a discretionary federal funding announcement issued by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC). It was offered as a cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources activity area, with the intent of supporting on-the-ground land management work at the Naval Observatory Flagstaff Station (NOFS) in Flagstaff, Arizona. The project scope focuses on weed and erosion control across approximately 287 acres, reflecting priorities already laid out in the station's Integrated Natural Resources Management Plan, which is the guiding document for balancing military mission needs with responsible stewardship of natural resources on the installation.
The core purpose of the work is to remove and manage non-native plant species and address erosion issues in ways that improve overall forest and watershed conditions. A major driver is wildfire risk reduction: non-native vegetation can contribute to higher fuel loads and alter fire behavior, increasing the likelihood of severe, fast-moving, and difficult-to-control wildland fires. By reducing invasive plant cover and stabilizing soils, the project aims to lower the probability of catastrophic fire and limit post-fire impacts such as sediment movement, slope instability, and habitat degradation. This is not framed as a purely ecological effort; it is directly tied to protecting the Navy's mission continuity and infrastructure, safeguarding human health and safety, and supporting conservation obligations, including reducing threats to the federally threatened Mexican spotted owl, which can be affected by habitat loss and disturbance associated with high-severity wildfire and subsequent erosion.
Funding for the opportunity was modest and targeted, with an estimated total funding amount of $27,000 and an award ceiling of $27,000, indicating NAVFAC expected to make a single award (Expected Awards: 1) to support a defined set of activities rather than a multi-year, multi-site program. The announcement specified no cost sharing or matching requirement, which generally means applicants would not be required to contribute cash or in-kind support as a condition of eligibility, though voluntary leverage can still be considered in some competitive processes depending on evaluation criteria in the full solicitation.
Eligible applicants included a range of public and nonprofit entities that commonly partner on natural resource projects: public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, city or township governments, county governments, state governments, and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding universities when applying under the nonprofit category). The listing also referenced CFDA 12.300 (Basic and Applied Scientific Research), which can be used for federal assistance tracking and reporting even when the immediate project work is field-based management, monitoring, or applied natural resources implementation.
The timeline for the solicitation was short and clearly defined. The opportunity was posted on February 11, 2012, with a creation date of February 18, 2012. Proposals were due by 4:00 PM local time on March 15, 2012 (the original and current closing dates matched), and the opportunity was archived on April 14, 2012. Questions about accessing the full announcement electronically were directed to Linda Protocollo, Contract Specialist and Cooperative Agreement Administrator, at 619-532-1159.
