Opportunity Information: Apply for W9127N2420007
This grant opportunity is a small, targeted cooperative agreement from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Portland District, focused on controlling and managing undesirable (noxious/invasive) plants on federal lands associated with the John Day Project in Morrow County, Oregon. The work supports the Natural Resource Management section that oversees these USACE-managed lands, with the main goal of getting professional, on-the-ground assistance to prevent the spread of problem plant species and to bring affected areas under better control in line with state and federal weed laws.
The award will be made as a cooperative agreement rather than a standard contract, which usually signals an expectation of substantial involvement by USACE staff during planning, coordination, or oversight of the work. The legal authority cited is the Federal Noxious Weed Act of 1974 (7 U.S.C. 2814), which frames the project as a collaboration specifically aligned with noxious weed prevention and control responsibilities. In practical terms, the selected partner would be expected to bring subject-matter expertise, regulatory alignment with Oregon undesirable plant laws, and the operational capability to support weed management activities on these federal properties.
Eligibility is limited to government entities, and the recipient must be a state department of agriculture or another state agency (or political subdivision) that is responsible for administering or implementing the state’s undesirable plants laws. The listing also notes eligible applicant types as state governments, county governments, and city or township governments, but the description makes clear that the award is intended for an entity with formal responsibility for undesirable plant law administration or implementation. This requirement narrows the likely applicant pool to agencies and jurisdictions that have an official weed-control mandate rather than general-purpose local government offices without that statutory role.
From a funding standpoint, this is a single-award opportunity with an award ceiling of $35,000 and an expectation of one total award. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding, and it sits in the natural resources activity area, with CFDA number 12.012. The funding opportunity number is W9127N2420007, and it was created on February 12, 2024, with an original closing date of March 15, 2024.
Overall, the opportunity is designed to formalize a partnership between USACE Portland District and an Oregon state-aligned weed authority to carry out professional services that improve management of undesirable plants on USACE lands at the John Day Project. The emphasis is less on broad research or large-scale restoration and more on practical, compliant weed management support delivered through an intergovernmental cooperative framework.Apply for W9127N2420007
