Opportunity Information: Apply for W9126G 23 2 SOI 1033

The Department of Defense, through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Fort Worth District on behalf of the USACE Galveston District, announced a cooperative agreement opportunity titled "Development and Application of Compound Flood Hazard Estimation Method for Coastal Texas." The effort is positioned as a science and technology / research and development project aimed at improving how flood hazards are estimated along the Texas coast, specifically by addressing compound flooding, where multiple drivers (such as storm surge, heavy rainfall, river discharge, tides, and coastal processes) can interact and worsen impacts. The notice indicates that the detailed description of the anticipated technical work is contained in an attached Statement of Objectives (SOO), rather than fully spelled out in the synopsis.

This posting is an initial request for responses in the form of statements of interest rather than full proposals. In practical terms, USACE is using the Grants.gov posting period to collect and screen interested parties before deciding who will be invited to submit a complete proposal package later. The announcement explicitly states that a full study proposal and a proposed budget are not requested at this stage, which signals that the government is first evaluating technical alignment, qualifications, and capability to perform the work described in the SOO before moving to a more formal proposal phase.

The period of performance is structured as a 12-month base period beginning on the date of award, with the possibility of three additional follow-on periods of 12 months each. That structure implies the government may continue the project for up to four years total if the work remains valuable, performance is satisfactory, and funds remain available. The opportunity anticipates making a single award, with an award ceiling listed at $998,000, meaning the total funding is expected not to exceed that amount.

Administratively, the opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number W9126G 23 2 SOI 1033 and is categorized as "Other" for the opportunity category, with "Cooperative Agreement" as the funding instrument type. The CFDA (now commonly referenced as Assistance Listing) number provided is 12.005. Eligibility is broadly summarized as "Others," with the expectation that additional eligibility details would be clarified in the notice or associated attachments (such as the SOO or an eligibility field on Grants.gov).

For timing, the statement of interest window aligns with the required 30-day posting period on Grants.gov, and responses were due by 5:00 P.M. Central Time on January 22, 2023. Questions and responses were directed to the listed points of contact: Audria Gill, Grants Specialist (audria.j.gill@usace.army.mil), and Kelsee Crawley, Project Manager (kelsee.f.crawley@usace.army.mil).
