Opportunity Information: Apply for NWO FY17 SIKESACT LRAM ITAM SRP
NWO-FY17-SIKES ACT-LRAM-ITAM-SRP is a Department of Defense funding opportunity released by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Omaha District) to select a single qualified Institution of Higher Education or non-profit educational institution to partner with the Corps under a cooperative agreement. The goal is to support long-term, nationwide management of Department of Defense lands, including installations and other DoD public lands across the continental U.S., Alaska, Hawaii, and U.S. territories. The agreement is designed for a period of performance of up to five years and is structured around active collaboration with the Corps rather than a simple pass-through grant, meaning the recipient is expected to coordinate closely on goals, priorities, methods, and implementation.
The core purpose of the award is to improve how DoD lands are managed by strengthening the collection, analysis, and practical application of environmental and cultural resource data, while also carrying out land rehabilitation and ongoing maintenance activities. DoD training and readiness depend on access to healthy, functional landscapes, but those landscapes must also be managed in compliance with a wide set of federal environmental and cultural resource laws. This announcement explicitly ties the work to compliance obligations under the Sikes Act, NEPA, NHPA, ESA, EPCRA, the Clean Water Act, and the Clean Air Act. In practical terms, the opportunity is aimed at building and maintaining the data foundation and decision-support processes that let installations document current conditions, assess impacts, plan projects, and demonstrate compliance, while keeping training lands usable and resilient.
The opportunity also emphasizes alignment with the Legacy Resource Management Program, which generally focuses on advancing DoD capabilities for natural and cultural resource stewardship through applied research, tools, and best practices. As described, the selected partner should be able to translate monitoring and inventory data into management decisions and on-the-ground actions, not just produce reports. The Corps expects the partner to work jointly to define common management goals and to support programs that connect land stewardship directly to sustained training capacity.
Work under the cooperative agreement is organized around ten primary areas of research and support. These include the Sustainable Range Program (SRP) and Integrated Training Area Management (ITAM), both of which are central DoD frameworks for keeping ranges and training lands functional while balancing environmental constraints. Related components include Training Requirements and Integration (TRI), which links land management actions to military training needs, and Sustainable Range Awareness (SRA), which supports outreach and understanding of sustainable range objectives. The Range and Training Lands Assessment (RTLA) area points to systematic evaluation of land condition and carrying capacity, while Land Rehabilitation and Maintenance (LRAM) covers the practical restoration, repair, and upkeep activities needed to address erosion, vegetation loss, habitat degradation, and other impacts associated with training. The announcement also highlights information management and GIS as foundational capabilities, reflecting the need for consistent databases, spatial analysis, mapping, and data governance that can be used across sites and over time. Environmental compliance is listed as a standalone focus area, reinforcing that the work is expected to directly support regulatory planning, documentation, and defensible decision-making.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a discretionary opportunity using a cooperative agreement instrument, with the funding activity categorized under environment and associated with CFDA 12.632. The posting shows an award ceiling of $45,000,000 and anticipates one award, indicating the Corps is looking for a major, centralized partner capable of handling a broad portfolio of tasks across many geographies and installations. The original opportunity dates show it was created on February 10, 2017 with an original closing date of March 13, 2017. Overall, the FOA is best understood as a large-scale, multi-year partnership to combine technical expertise (ecology, cultural resources, compliance, GIS, and data systems) with applied land management (rehabilitation and maintenance) so DoD can sustain training readiness while meeting environmental and historic preservation responsibilities.Apply for NWO FY17 SIKESACT LRAM ITAM SRP
