Monitoring of Wood Stork Reproduction in the Everglades, Florida | W9126G 25 2 SOI 4748

Opportunity Information: Apply for W9126G 25 2 SOI 4748

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Fort Worth District, is seeking Statements of Interest (SOIs) for a project titled "Monitoring of Wood Stork Reproduction in the Everglades, Florida." This is being released as a Request for Statements of Interest (RSOI), meaning the government is not asking for a full technical proposal or a detailed budget at this stage. Instead, interested parties are expected to submit an SOI that demonstrates relevant qualifications and a technically sound approach, which USACE will use to decide who may be invited to submit a full proposal later.

The award will be made as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 12.005, within the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity area. The opportunity is competitive and merit-based, with selections driven primarily by the technical merits of the proposed research and development and how well the work supports or connects to USACE and Department of Defense mission needs. While the public notice does not include the full technical scope in the text provided, it indicates that the anticipated work is described in an attached Statement of Objectives (SOO). In practical terms, applicants should expect that the core requirement is field- or program-based monitoring of wood stork reproductive performance in the Everglades, and that the SOO will define the specific study areas, methods, metrics, reporting requirements, coordination expectations, and any optional tasks.

Funding for the base period is expected to be about $267,270.00 for the initial 12-month period of performance, starting from the date of award. USACE notes that additional funds may be available for optional tasks and/or follow-on work. The structure allows for up to four additional 12-month follow-on periods (potentially up to five years total including the base year), but these extensions are explicitly contingent on funding availability and government need/performance.

Eligibility is narrowly limited: this opportunity is only available to Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units (CESU) participants within the Piedmont-South Atlantic Coast and South Florida-Caribbean Regions. The listing shows one expected award and an award ceiling of $1,418,973, which likely reflects the maximum potential value if base and optional/follow-on work are fully funded across multiple periods.

From a process and timeline standpoint, USACE will keep the RSOI posted on Grants.gov for 30 days before making a decision on which respondents to advance and potentially invite for full proposals. The opportunity number is W9126G 25 2 SOI 4748, and the original closing date shown is 2025-07-28. Questions and responses are directed to the USACE Fort Worth District points of contact: Yvonne Howard, Grants Specialist (yvonne.howard@usace.army.mil, 817-751-9737), and Emily Woodruff, Project Manager (emily.t.woodruff@usace.army.mil, 918-803-2356).
