About this opportunity
The Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Alaska is seeking a cooperative agreement recipient to support the 11th Airborne Division's Training Support Activity - Alaska (TSA-AK) Integrated Training Area Management (ITAM) Sustainable Range Program (SRP). The primary objectives include performing Range and Training Land Assessment (RTLA) evaluations, monitoring military exercises, and managing training lands across Richardson Training Area, Fort Wainwright, and Donnelly Training Area in Alaska. Qualified applicants include state and local governments, federally recognized tribal governments, non-governmental organizations, and individuals with expertise in natural resource management. The project aims to minimize mission constraints while protecting and sustaining natural resources, including soil, water, vegetation, and wildlife. The application deadline is September 8, 2025, with an estimated award date of September 30, 2025, and the evaluation will likely focus on the applicant's ability to meet the comprehensive environmental management and conservation goals outlined in the Sikes Act.
The cooperative agreement is valued at $5,663,110.00, with an initial 12-month performance period ceiling of $1,093,729.00 and potential for four additional 12-month option periods. The project will cover approximately 2.5 million acres of military training lands, including multiple training areas in Alaska such as Richardson Training Area, Tanana Flats Training Area, Yukon Training Area, Donnelly Training Area, Gerstle River, and Black Rapids and Whistler Creek training areas. The work will involve conducting roughly one high-impact event (2-3 weeks long) per year, along with 3-4 moderate and low-impact events requiring field inspections, with the ultimate goal of creating sustainable training environments while protecting ecological health.
Synopsis
This project is intended to provide Integrated Natural Resource Management Plan (INRMP) implementation support to Range and Training Land Assessment (RTLA) support the 11th Airborne Division (11th ABN DIV) Training Support Activity - Alaska (TSA-AK) Integrated Training Area Management (ITAM) Sustainable Range Program (SRP) at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson (JBER) Richardson Training Area, Fort Wainwright and Donnelly Training Area, Alaska. Tasks include performing RTLA assessments to evaluate the capability of training lands to meet multiple use demands on a sustainable basis, performing missionscape readiness evaluations and monitoring, and military exercise monitoring for the ITAM program. The objectives of the program are to provide optimal management of training lands, to minimize restrictions to the military mission due to natural resource related constraints, sustain the land to provide for optimal military training while protecting natural resources, soil, water, vegetation, and wildlife in a healthy and diverse state.
This project implements both the USAG Alaska and JBER INRMPs with the objective of providing healthy and resilient environments that are sustainable settings for military training while protecting and enhancing biological diversity and ecological health on all USAG Alaska lands, and to ensure compliance with all environmental laws and regulations. Some of the benefits to the natural resources include sustainable use, wetland protection, fish and wildlife habitat enhancement on public lands, prevent damage and rehabilitate soils, educate land users and provide sustainable hunting and fishing opportunities for the public.
