Opportunity Information: Apply for NWO CESU 17 7
The BMGR, LUKE AFB, MCAS YUMA INRMP UPDATES opportunity is a Department of Defense environmental cooperative agreement focused on updating Integrated Natural Resources Management Plans (INRMPs) for several major military lands in Arizona. Specifically, the work centers on the Barry M. Goldwater Range (BMGR), Luke Air Force Base (including Auxiliary Field #1, often referred to as Aux-1, and the Fort Tuthill area), and Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Yuma. INRMPs are the planning documents used on military installations to guide how natural resources are managed in a way that supports both mission requirements (training, testing, aviation operations, range use) and conservation responsibilities (habitat, wildlife, vegetation, cultural and natural resource protection, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations). In practical terms, this grant is about bringing those management plans up to date using current source data and ensuring the plans remain usable for installation decision-making and regulatory coordination.
The opportunity was issued under Funding Opportunity Number NWO CESU 17 7 and was categorized as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement mechanism. A cooperative agreement typically signals that the federal agency expects to be substantially involved during the project, such as collaborating on technical direction, review cycles, data standards, deliverable formats, and coordination with installation stakeholders. The funding activity category is Environment, and the listing is associated with CFDA number 12.632, which is commonly tied to DoD environmental and conservation-related assistance. The issuing agency is the Department of Defense, Omaha District, indicating administration through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Omaha District in support of DoD environmental planning needs.
From a funding standpoint, the notice indicated a single expected award, with an award ceiling of $193,000. The posting date was March 6, 2017, with an original application closing date of April 5, 2017, suggesting a relatively short turnaround typical of targeted, site-specific planning updates. Eligibility was listed broadly as "Others" with direction to consult an additional eligibility section in the full announcement, which often means eligibility may be limited to specific partner types (for example, members of a particular cooperative ecosystem studies unit network, nonprofits, academic institutions, or other qualified entities) rather than open competition for all applicant categories.
Overall, the core purpose of this grant was to support military installation and range managers by updating INRMPs for BMGR, Luke AFB (including Aux-1 and Fort Tuthill), and MCAS Yuma using complete source data, aligning management actions with current conditions and requirements, and ensuring the plans remain compliant, actionable, and coordinated across the relevant DoD stakeholders.Apply for NWO CESU 17 7
