Opportunity Information: Apply for W9126G 20 2 SOI 3525
The Cultural Resources Support, Travis AFB, CA opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number W9126G-20-2-SOI-3525) is a Department of Defense notice issued through the USACE Fort Worth District seeking Statements of Interest to identify a qualified investigator or team to provide professional cultural resources support for the Air Force Civil Engineer Center (AFCEC). The project is intended to help AFCEC successfully carry out responsibilities tied to the Sikes Act (16 USC 670c-1), particularly as they relate to installation planning and compliance needs that connect with broader natural and cultural resources management requirements. The government anticipated about $175,000 for the initial 12-month base period, with the possibility of additional follow-on funding in later fiscal years if options are exercised and funds are available. Only one award was expected.
Eligibility is a key constraint. To be considered, the applicant must be a non-federal partner in the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units (CESU) National Network, specifically within either the California CESU (W9126G-13-2-0012) or the Rocky Mountain CESU (W9126G-18-2-0018). The award is expected to be made as a cooperative agreement under the CESU program, and administration can use the CESU Network indirect cost rate (listed as 17.5%) only if both parties mutually agree and formally authorize its application.
The work is designed around embedded, hands-on support, including an onsite support person located with the AFCEC Travis Installation Support Section at Travis Air Force Base in California. The overall purpose is to help address cultural resource management (CRM) duties that, according to AFCEC, cannot be fully covered by existing staff. Support is expected to benefit both Travis AFB and Beale AFB, with recurring local travel between the installations. The notice contains two travel estimates, but the more detailed task section states travel from Travis AFB to Beale AFB will be required about 40 times during each 12-month period of performance.
The anticipated scope emphasizes program management, compliance support, and technical coordination rather than a single stand-alone research product. Core duties include regularly coordinating with AFCEC cultural resources subject matter experts and installation leadership to forecast, prioritize, and meet short-deadline requirements; attending weekly meetings at Travis ISS to report status; and participating in monthly meetings involving Travis and Beale to surface new issues and track ongoing ones. A major deliverable is development and implementation of a tracking database to monitor performance and status across ongoing and upcoming cultural resources projects, including plan and permit milestones, due dates, and required updates.
On the planning and execution side, the recipient would help with project programming by assisting AFCEC and installation CRM staff in identifying future requirements and preparing project narratives and justifications. The work also includes developing projects from existing cultural and natural resource management plans, preparing Authority to Release documentation for AFCEC submittals, and supporting AFCEC review of deliverables such as work plans, schedules, and technical reports. Compliance support features prominently, including assisting with or reviewing National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) Section 106 and 110 reviews, preparing consultation documentation, and supporting consultations with Tribal governments and the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO). The scope also calls for developing Archaeological Resources Protection Act (ARPA) and Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) plans of action for inadvertent discoveries.
Additional technical and programmatic tasks include supporting periodic data calls by collating, reviewing, and entering data; helping installation staff conduct annual Integrated Cultural Resources Management Plan (ICRMP) reviews and periodic updates, including stakeholder consultations; and tracking plan and permit milestone dates to keep reviews and submissions on schedule. The role also covers field and collections-related support such as assisting with identification and evaluation of built environment resources, archaeological sites, and Traditional Cultural Properties, as well as inspecting curated collections and facilitating professional research access. Beyond installation-level tasks, the recipient may help draft or revise Air Force-wide cultural resources policy documents (including Air Force Instructions, guidance, and policy memos), provide technical review and recommendations on proposals for the DoD Legacy Resource Management Program, support public-facing or stakeholder materials like fact sheets, and provide geospatial mapping expertise tied to cultural and archaeological resource management.
The period of performance is structured as a 12-month base period from the date of award, with four additional 12-month option periods anticipated, contingent on funding availability. The posting itself was a Request for Statements of Interest rather than a full proposal solicitation. Applicants were asked to submit a concise qualifications package by email (maximum two pages, single-spaced, 12-point font) including organizational identifiers and contact details (name, organization, CAGE code, DUNS number, email), plus a brief statement of qualifications with a biographical sketch, relevant past projects and clients, available staff/faculty/students and their expertise, and any capabilities that would help complete the work (facilities, equipment, or other resources). Importantly, the government stated that a full technical proposal and budget were not requested at this stage; the objective was to screen for qualifications and fit, after which selected respondents could be invited to develop a full study proposal.
Statements of Interest were to be evaluated by a government review board based on the investigator or team’s experience and capabilities relevant to the requirements. The notice indicated it had to remain posted for 30 days before the government would decide whether to request full proposals. Responses were due by 5:00 PM Central Time on July 2, 2020. Points of contact were Ali Marshall (Agreement/Contract Specialist, USACE Fort Worth District) and Greg Bonnell (Project Manager, USACE Tulsa District), with submissions requested via email to both listed addresses.Apply for W9126G 20 2 SOI 3525
