Opportunity Information: Apply for NWO CESU 18 09
The grant opportunity titled "SIKES ACT PROGRAM SUPPORT AFCEC, MULTIPLE INSTALLATIONS" (Funding Opportunity Number: NWO CESU 18 09) is a Department of Defense funding announcement focused on helping the United States Air Force carry out required natural resources work under the Sikes Act. At its core, the project is meant to support implementation of Integrated Natural Resources Management Plans (INRMPs), which are the planning documents military installations use to manage fish and wildlife, habitat, and other natural resources on base while keeping mission needs in mind. The Sikes Act reference provided (16 U.S.C. 670c-1) is the legal driver behind these INRMPs, and this opportunity is essentially aimed at providing the staffing and on-the-ground capacity needed to complete the kinds of projects those plans call for.
The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which usually means the federal government expects to be actively involved during the project rather than simply issuing a pass-through grant with minimal interaction. The opportunity is listed as discretionary and falls under the environment activity category, with CFDA number 12.632. The awarding agency is the Department of Defense, Omaha District, and the announcement anticipates making a single award. The maximum award amount (award ceiling) is $473,590, and the posted timeline shows it was created on March 21, 2018, with an original closing date of April 19, 2018.
The practical work described is "natural resources management support" for Air Force installations, with the key detail that the support is expected to be temporary and seasonal, provided as needed to help implement INRMP-directed activities. In other words, the award is not framed as a one-time research study or a standalone restoration project, but more like a flexible support package that can supply personnel and field capability to complete recurring or surge-demand conservation and compliance tasks tied directly to existing INRMP requirements. While the announcement does not list specific tasks in the excerpt provided, typical INRMP implementation support can include habitat management, invasive species monitoring or control, wildlife surveys, support for threatened and endangered species management actions, data collection and reporting, coordination support, and other compliance-driven field and planning assistance that installations need to stay aligned with their INRMP commitments.
The project is explicitly multi-installation. Support may be provided at the following Air Force or joint installations: Columbus AFB, Mississippi; Eglin AFB, Florida; Holloman AFB, New Mexico; Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson (JBER), Alaska; Joint Base Langley-Eustis (JBLE) - Eustis, Virginia; JBLE - Langley, Virginia; Joint Base San Antonio (JBSA), Texas; Little Rock AFB, Arkansas; Robins AFB, Georgia; Shaw AFB, South Carolina; and Tinker AFB, Oklahoma. This geographic spread signals that the awardee would likely need the ability to mobilize staff across multiple regions and ecosystems, respond to installation-specific needs, and coordinate with Air Force natural resources offices and partners to keep work consistent with each base's INRMP priorities.
Eligibility is described broadly as "Others," with a note to consult the full eligibility text in the original posting for clarification. In many DoD natural resources opportunities like this, eligibility is often connected to partnerships or cooperative ecosystems (for example, CESU-affiliated entities), but the excerpt does not spell that out, so the safest summary is that eligibility is not limited to only state or local governments in the listing and would depend on the additional eligibility language in the full notice.
Overall, this opportunity is best understood as a DoD-funded, Air Force-focused cooperative agreement intended to provide seasonal and temporary natural resources staffing and implementation support across a set of named installations, ensuring that INRMP commitments under the Sikes Act are carried out through practical, field-oriented natural resource management activities rather than purely administrative planning.Apply for NWO CESU 18 09
