Opportunity Information: Apply for W912DW 20 2 RFP2
The Natural Resource Survey and Habitat Enhancement opportunity is a U.S. Department of Defense funding announcement administered by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Seattle District, focused on Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM) in Washington State. It seeks a partner organization to enter into a Cooperative Agreement to carry out research, natural resource surveys, and on-the-ground habitat enhancement work aimed at protecting and sustaining rare habitats on the installation. The emphasis is specifically on maintaining and improving both wetland and upland habitat types that are considered uncommon or sensitive within JBLM, with the broader intent of supporting long-term ecological health while the installation continues its military mission.
At its core, the project is about collecting the scientific information needed to understand habitat conditions and species presence, then using that information to plan and implement restoration and enhancement actions. The government is looking for an organization with demonstrated technical capability and experience in natural resources work, including the staff, equipment, and operational capacity to perform field surveys, monitoring, restoration support, and invasive species control. The announcement signals that this is not a simple, one-time deliverable, but a coordinated effort where the recipient and the government will work together under a cooperative framework to restore, support, and sustain priority habitats across the JBLM landscape.
The minimum areas of support described in the notice include ecological restoration program support, species and habitat survey and monitoring, and habitat enhancement paired with invasive species control. In practical terms, that typically means developing and implementing survey protocols, conducting field assessments, mapping and documenting habitat and species conditions, tracking changes over time through monitoring, and carrying out targeted actions that improve habitat quality or functionality. Habitat enhancement work often includes activities such as restoring native vegetation communities, improving wetland hydrology or structure where appropriate, reducing pressures from invasive plants, and applying adaptive management approaches so the work can be adjusted as monitoring results come in.
The award is structured as a continuation opportunity using a Cooperative Agreement funding instrument, with a stated award ceiling of $7,800,000 and an expectation of a single award. The funding activity category is listed as "Other," reflecting the applied natural resources and habitat management nature of the effort rather than a conventional research-only or construction-only category. The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 12.005 and identifies eligibility broadly as "Others" with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement, indicating the agency may be open to qualified non-federal partners such as research institutions, conservation organizations, or other entities capable of performing the required work.
The legal authority cited for the agreement is Title 16 of the U.S. Code, section 670c-1, Section 103a, which supports cooperative and interagency agreements for land management on Department of Defense installations. This authority is commonly used to enable partnerships that strengthen natural resource stewardship on military lands by bringing in specialized expertise, facilitating collaborative implementation, and supporting sustained management actions that benefit sensitive habitats and species.
Key administrative details from the source listing include the funding opportunity title "Natural Resource Survey and Habitat Enhancement for the United States Army on Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM) in Washington State," the opportunity number W912DW 20 2 RFP2, and the publishing office as the Department of Defense, USACE Seattle District. The posting indicates a creation date of August 14, 2020, with an original closing date of August 31, 2020, and an anticipated single award under the ceiling amount noted above.Apply for W912DW 20 2 RFP2
