About this opportunity
The Department of the Army's Mission and Installation Contracting Command-Fort Sam Houston (MICC-FSH) is seeking to partner with eligible non-profit organizations through a cooperative agreement to acquire real property interests, such as easements or fee simple ownership, from willing landowners near Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM) in Washington. The goal is to prevent incompatible development that could adversely impact the installation's military training, testing, and operational missions, as well as secure off-post conservation credits for endangered species found on the base. Eligible applicants must demonstrate the capability to meet cost share requirements, acquire property, monitor and enforce conservation easements, and provide natural resource management services. Applications are due by June 21, 2024 and will be evaluated on factors including cost sharing, operational capacity, and financial stability.
Up to three cooperative agreements may be awarded under this $150 million program, with the federal government providing up to 80% of the funding over a period of performance of up to 25 years. The work will primarily take place in the vicinity of JBLM in Washington state, focused on identifying priority parcels and acquiring perpetual real property interests from willing landowners to prevent incompatible development and provide conservation credits for endangered species.
