Opportunity Information: Apply for W911KB 18 2 0001A

The Legacy Resource Management Program, authorized under the Sikes Act (16 U.S.C. 670c-1), is a Department of Defense funding opportunity focused on environmental and natural resource work that supports military lands and missions. The opportunity is issued by the Department of Defense through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Alaska District, and is categorized as a discretionary funding opportunity in the environment funding activity area (CFDA/Assistance Listing 12.632). Awards are planned as cooperative agreements, which generally means the government expects to have substantial involvement during the project period, such as collaborating on technical direction, coordinating access to installations or data, and participating in review and oversight as the work progresses.

The notice indicates the agency anticipates making five awards under this announcement. While the summary text is brief, it signals that additional steps, selection procedures, and any special requirements are described in the full announcement. The maximum funding amount listed is an award ceiling of $10,000,000, which represents the upper limit for an individual award under this opportunity rather than a guaranteed amount for every recipient. Applicants should interpret the ceiling as the highest possible award size allowed by the solicitation, with actual award amounts depending on proposal scope, available funding, and the agency's selection decisions.

Eligibility is described as unrestricted, meaning the opportunity is open to a wide range of applicants (for example, nonprofit organizations, universities, private entities, state and local governments, tribal entities, and others), subject to any clarifications or limitations that may be stated in the full announcement under the section typically titled "Additional Information on Eligibility." The opportunity was created on June 6, 2018, and the original application deadline was July 16, 2018, which establishes the historical window for submission for that specific posting.

Overall, this funding opportunity supports projects that align with the DoD Legacy Resource Management Program's intent: improving the management of natural and cultural resources on military installations, strengthening compliance and stewardship, and advancing practices and information that help sustain mission readiness while protecting environmental values. Because the public-facing synopsis references that "additional process information can be found within the announcement," applicants would need the complete FOA to understand the specific project priorities, required proposal format, evaluation criteria, allowable costs, reporting expectations, and how the cooperative agreement partnership would function during execution.
