Opportunity Information: Apply for W9127N2420003
This funding opportunity is a discretionary cooperative agreement from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Portland District, focused on controlling and managing undesirable plants (often referred to as noxious weeds or invasive/problem plant species) on federal lands in Klickitat County, Washington. The work will take place specifically on lands managed by USACE Natural Resource Management at two major Corps projects in the area: The Dalles Project and the John Day Project. The overall purpose is to bring in a qualified public-sector partner that already has legal responsibility and expertise under state undesirable plant laws to provide professional services that help USACE meet its land stewardship and vegetation management obligations.
The agreement is being issued under the authority of the Federal Noxious Weed Act of 1974 (7 U.S.C. 2814), which is why eligibility is limited to government entities that administer or implement a state s undesirable plants laws. In practical terms, the intended recipient must be a state department of agriculture or another state agency, or a political subdivision of the state, that has official duties tied to noxious weed or undesirable plant regulation and management. The listed eligible applicant types include state governments as well as county governments and city or township governments, but the key qualifying factor is that the applicant must be the entity responsible for carrying out the state s undesirable plants laws (not simply an interested party).
From a funding and competition standpoint, the opportunity anticipates a single award with an award ceiling of 147,000 dollars. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically signals that USACE expects to remain actively involved during project implementation rather than issuing a hands off grant. The activity category is Agriculture, and the CFDA (assistance listing) number associated with the opportunity is 12.012. The opportunity was created on February 21, 2024, and the original closing date for submissions was March 21, 2024, under Funding Opportunity Number W9127N2420003.
While the notice does not lay out a detailed scope of work line by line, it clearly states that the partner will provide professional services to assist USACE with managing undesirable plants on these federal project lands. That generally includes planning and implementing weed control actions, coordinating with land managers, and applying state level expertise and compliance practices so that weed management is consistent with applicable laws and established best practices. The core emphasis is on supporting the USACE Natural Resource Management section in preventing, controlling, and reducing undesirable plant populations on Corps managed lands at The Dalles and John Day projects in Klickitat County.Apply for W9127N2420003
