Opportunity Information: Apply for W9126G 22 2 SOI 3711

The Island Night Lizard SCI opportunity is a Department of Defense (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Fort Worth District) cooperative agreement intended to support specialized natural resource monitoring and analysis for island night lizard populations. At this stage, the agency is not asking applicants to submit a full technical proposal or a detailed budget. Instead, interested parties are expected to submit a response as a Statement of Interest while the government completes an initial review and decides whether to invite full proposals later.

The anticipated work focuses on providing technical support to implement specialized monitoring protocols that track island night lizard population density and basic demographics and health indicators. This includes collecting and analyzing data on age structure, sex ratios, and body condition, and then interpreting those biological measures in relation to habitat conditions. The work also emphasizes understanding how broader environmental factors, especially regional weather patterns and fire conditions, correlate with species health and population metrics, which suggests a continuing need to connect field observations to environmental drivers over time.

A major deliverable is habitat mapping supported by GIS products and data. The selected cooperator is expected to develop spatial information that illustrates habitat conditions and how the species uses different areas, likely to inform management decisions, conservation planning, and ongoing monitoring design. The notice references an attached Statement of Objectives for additional detail, indicating that applicants should align their qualifications and approach with those objectives even though a full plan is not yet required.

The planned period of performance begins with an 18-month base period from the date of award. The structure is designed to support 12 months of field and data collection followed by 6 months dedicated to data analysis and reporting. In addition, the agency anticipates up to four additional 18-month option periods. These options are structured to overlap so that fieldwork can continue without interruption while analysis and reporting for the previous period are completed. In practical terms, each period is intended to include roughly a year of field activity plus a half-year for analysis and reporting, with the next period's fieldwork beginning before the previous period fully closes out.

The funding opportunity is listed on Grants.gov under Funding Opportunity Number W9126G 22 2 SOI 3711 and is categorized as "Other" with a cooperative agreement as the instrument type. It falls under the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity category and references CFDA 12.005. The posting indicates an award ceiling of $232,500 and anticipates one award. Eligibility is broadly described as "Others" with additional clarification expected in the full listing's eligibility section.

The timeline specified that the Request for Statements of Interest would be posted for 30 days, with responses due by 5:00 P.M. Central Time on July 8, 2022. Questions and responses were directed to the listed contacts at USACE Fort Worth District and the USACE Regional Planning and Environmental Center, reflecting that the opportunity is managed through USACE environmental agreements personnel and technical staff who oversee natural resource monitoring needs.
