Opportunity Information: Apply for W9126G 21 2 SOI 4655
The Cultural Resources Support AFCEC/CZ opportunity is a Department of Defense cooperative agreement aimed at providing professional, technical, and policy support to the Air Force Civil Engineer Center Environmental Directorate (AFCEC/CZ), with a focus on cultural resources and NEPA compliance. The purpose is to strengthen and streamline the Air Force’s ability to meet its environmental and cultural resource obligations while sustaining mission readiness at several installations supported by AFCEC, including Hill AFB, F.E. Warren, Malmstrom, Minot, and Peterson. The project is framed around helping the Air Force successfully implement the Sikes Act (16 USC 670c-1), while also ensuring compliance with related federal requirements such as the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA), and the Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA), along with applicable executive orders and state and local regulations.
Eligibility is limited and very specific: only members of Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units (CESUs) under the Colorado Plateau CESU, Great Plains CESU, and Rocky Mountains CESU are permitted to apply. While the listing may show “unrestricted” in a general eligibility field, the narrative eligibility statement controls here, meaning applicants outside those CESU networks would not be considered eligible for award under this announcement.
The government is not requesting a full technical proposal or a detailed budget at this stage. Instead, the solicitation is a Request for Statements of Interest (RSOI). Responses to the RSOI are intended to help the government identify qualified investigators and teams who could carry out the work, after which the government may invite selected respondents to submit full proposals. The RSOI had to remain open at least 30 days, and the stated due date for responses was 5:00 P.M. Central Time on July 23, 2021.
In terms of funding and duration, the opportunity anticipates approximately $255,162 available for an initial 6-month base period. Beyond that base period, the government notes that additional funding may be available for follow-on work for as many as six subsequent fiscal years, contingent on funding availability and continued need. The notice also references an overall award ceiling of $1,913,372 and an expectation of one award, signaling that this is designed as a single-provider support vehicle that could be extended through optional periods. The period of performance is structured as a 6-month base with up to six optional 12-month periods.
The work itself is described as technical assistance that helps AFCEC/CZ meet regulatory and policy responsibilities in a cost-effective, flexible way. The Air Force specifically emphasizes the value of partnering with non-DoD subject matter experts in environmental compliance, conservation and cultural resource management, and environmental law. That expertise is expected to support decision-making, strengthen policy development and implementation, and help the Air Force coordinate effectively with federal and state agencies, tribes, and other stakeholders in a way that reduces risk to the mission and minimizes environmental impacts.
Operationally, the project requires an onsite support person located at an installation within the Midwest Region (examples given include Hill AFB and Peterson AFB) as well as support performed from the individual’s home office. Travel is an expected and planned part of performance. The estimate provided includes two one-week trips to San Antonio, Texas (one person per trip) and six one-week trips within the Midwest Region (one person per trip), largely to attend meetings and support regional coordination activities.
Several important considerations are highlighted that affect staffing and project execution. Some tasks may require access to or review of classified information up to the Secret level, so personnel performing those tasks must have a final adjudicated Secret security clearance. The awardee (described as the Non-Federal Entity) may choose to subaward parts of the work to other organizations, including nonprofit or for-profit entities, as appropriate. Travel demands are explicitly anticipated and should be factored into staffing and scheduling assumptions for anyone responding.
Administratively, the opportunity is managed through the USACE Fort Worth District on behalf of the Air Force. The listed points of contact are Sandy Justman (Grants Specialist) and J. Grant Harrison (Project Manager), and the announcement directs interested parties to consult the full RSOI and Statement of Objectives (SOO) in the related documents for complete requirements. The funding opportunity is identified as W9126G-21-2-SOI-4655, uses a cooperative agreement instrument, and is categorized under science and technology and other research and development (CFDA 12.005).Apply for W9126G 21 2 SOI 4655
