Cultural and Natural Resources Technical Reporting at Pacific Installations Bellows Air Force Station and Ka'ena Point Space Force Station Oahu, HI

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Fort Worth District, is seeking organizations to provide technical assistance for cultural and natural resources management at Bellows Air Force Station and Ka'ena Point Space Force Station in Oahu, Hawaii. The project requires comprehensive technical reporting, including archaeological inventories, cultural resources compliance, historic building evaluations, and natural resource management. Qualified applicants must be members of specific Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units (CESU) Regions and have personnel with relevant graduate or bachelor's degrees and supervised field experience in Hawaiian archaeology or ecology. Statements of Interest (SOI) are due by 10:00 AM Central Time on August 18, 2025, with questions accepted until July 30, 2025. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed, the opportunity suggests that expertise in Hawaiian archaeological and ecological research will be a critical factor in selection.

The base period of performance is 12 months from the date of award, with potential for six additional 12-month follow-on periods. Approximately $490,000 is expected to be available for the base period, with the possibility of additional funding for optional tasks or follow-on work in subsequent years. The project is funded under the Conservation and Rehabilitation of Natural Resources on Military Installations program (CFDA 12.005) and will be administered through a cooperative agreement with the Department of Defense. Interested parties must also comply with NIST (National Institute of Standards and Technology) security requirements, including implementing NIST SP 800-171 and maintaining a current Basic NIST SP 800-171 DoD Assessment.
