Opportunity Information: Apply for W912DQ 19 2 003
The grant opportunity titled "Bat Surveying and Assessment, Ft. Leavenworth, KS" (Funding Opportunity Number W912DQ 19 2 003) is a Department of Defense effort administered through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Kansas City District. It is a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement, meaning the selected recipient should expect active collaboration and coordination with the government during project planning, execution, and reporting rather than operating completely independently. The funding activity focus is natural resources, and the opportunity is tied to CFDA number 12.114.
The main purpose of the project is to carry out bat surveying and assessment work at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, with a practical emphasis on how bat conservation fits alongside ongoing military training, operations, and routine installation sustainment or enhancement activities. The installation is seeking information and analysis that helps it evaluate potential effects of its activities on several bat species of concern and then translate those findings into installation-specific protection measures. The targeted species named in the opportunity are the Northern Long-eared Bat (NLEB), the Tri-colored Bat, and the Little Brown Bat, all of which have faced significant population pressures in recent years, including threats associated with habitat disturbance and disease impacts such as white-nose syndrome.
A key theme of the solicitation is compliance-driven conservation planning. The work is intended to support and advance the objectives laid out in several governing or guiding documents, including the IMCOM Programmatic Informal Consultation Guidelines dated May 4, 2015, the Programmatic Biological Opinion and the Final 4(d) Rule for the Northern Long-eared Bat (including activities excepted from take prohibitions) dated January 5, 2016, and the requirements of Section 7(a)(2) of the Endangered Species Act. In practical terms, this means the survey and assessment results are expected to help the installation document species presence or likely presence, understand how installation actions intersect with bat habitat and seasonal use, and develop measures that reduce risk to the species while keeping mission needs in view. The end product is not just raw field data, but decision-useful recommendations that align with the established programmatic consultation framework and ESA compliance expectations.
Eligibility is limited to nonprofit organizations with IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) status, excluding institutions of higher education. The government anticipated making a single award, with an award ceiling of $68,328, reflecting a relatively focused, site-specific project rather than a multi-year, multi-site research program. The opportunity was posted March 26, 2019, with an original application closing date of April 24, 2019, indicating it was structured as a time-bounded competition for a near-term field and assessment effort.
Overall, this opportunity is best understood as a conservation compliance and management support project for a military installation. The government is seeking qualified nonprofit capacity to perform bat surveys and interpret the findings in a way that directly informs Fort Leavenworth operational planning and natural resource management, especially as it relates to avoiding or minimizing impacts to protected or at-risk bat species under the Endangered Species Act and associated programmatic rules and consultations.Apply for W912DQ 19 2 003
