Opportunity Information: Apply for W9126G262SOI9201
The Department of Defense, through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Fort Worth District, is seeking qualified partners to provide cultural resources technical guidance support for Joint Base San Antonio, Texas. This opportunity will be funded through a cooperative agreement and is restricted to organizations that are members of the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units (CESU) Program within the Colorado Plateau, Great Plains, and Rocky Mountains region. The government is not requesting a full technical proposal or budget at this stage; instead, it is using a Request for Statements of Interest (SOI) to identify organizations that can demonstrate relevant qualifications, expertise, and capacity to perform similar cultural resources work.
The anticipated initial funding is approximately $479,752.50 to support Task 1 and Task 2 during the base period, with the possibility of additional funding for optional tasks and follow-on efforts in later years. The base period of performance is 12 months from the date of award. If funding remains available and the work continues to align with agency needs, the agreement may be extended through as many as five additional 12-month follow-on periods, effectively allowing for a multi-year relationship under the CESU framework. While the posting references an overall award ceiling of $3,125,629 and an expectation of one award, the immediate action for applicants is to submit an SOI demonstrating capability, not a full costed plan.
The specific scope of work is described as “cultural resources technical guidance support,” with details to be provided in the attached Statement of Objectives (SOO). In practice, work under this kind of title typically supports compliance and technical decision-making tied to cultural and historic resource management on or associated with military installations. That can include support related to archaeological resources, historic structures, traditional cultural properties, and other resources protected under federal cultural resource laws and regulations. However, applicants should rely on the SOO for the authoritative list of tasks, deliverables, and performance expectations, since the public notice itself points to the attachment for the substantive work description.
Submissions are time-sensitive and must be emailed. Statements of Interest are due by noon Central Time on May 28, 2026. Questions must be sent no later than noon Central Time on May 7, 2026. Both SOIs and questions are to be emailed to the USACE points of contact: Yvonne Howard, Grants Specialist (yvonne.howard@usace.army.mil), and Nicole (Niki) Baker, Project Manager (nicole.d.baker@usace.army.mil).
