Opportunity Information: Apply for NWO CESU 17 31
The AIRFIELD HABITAT MGT- EDWARDS AFB opportunity is a discretionary federal funding announcement issued by the U.S. Department of Defense (Omaha District) to support a focused airfield habitat management effort at Edwards Air Force Base in California. The project is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the government expects to be actively involved with the recipient during the work rather than simply providing a grant with minimal interaction. The funding activity is categorized under Agriculture, reflecting the land and habitat management nature of the work even though the primary driver is aviation safety.
The main purpose of the project is to reduce Bird/Wildlife Aircraft Strike Hazard (BASH) risk by improving understanding of how wildlife are using airfield-adjacent areas and by identifying practical habitat and wildlife management actions that can lower the likelihood of strikes. The work centers on three airfields located on Edwards AFB. The first required objective is to conduct a comprehensive assessment of wildlife use patterns and the habitat features surrounding those airfields. In practical terms, this implies documenting which wildlife species are present, when and where they concentrate, what attracts them to the area (food, water, cover, nesting/roosting sites), and how those patterns relate spatially and temporally to aircraft operations. The second required objective is to develop recommendations for wildlife and habitat management alternatives that would reduce BASH risks on those airfields. That typically involves proposing specific changes to vegetation management, water management, refuse or food-source controls, structural or landscape modifications, and other deterrence or exclusion strategies that are appropriate for the base environment and mission requirements.
The announcement also notes an optional task with the same objectives for Air Force Plant 42, indicating the government may expand the scope to include an additional installation using a similar assessment-and-recommendations approach. While the posting does not list detailed methods or deliverables in the excerpt provided, the stated objectives clearly prioritize a data-driven assessment followed by actionable management alternatives aimed at aviation hazard reduction.
Administratively, the opportunity is identified by Funding Opportunity Number NWO CESU 17 31 and CFDA 12.632. It anticipated a single award with an award ceiling of $151,658. The notice was created on August 1, 2017, with an original closing date of September 1, 2017. Eligibility is broadly listed as "Others," with clarification expected in the full announcement under the additional eligibility information field, which often points to specific partner networks or categories of organizations permitted to apply.Apply for NWO CESU 17 31
