Salcha-Delta Swcd

Salcha-Delta Soil and Water Conservation District (Salcha-Delta SWCD) is a U.S. state government entity registered in SAM.gov since 2002, located in Delta Junction, Alaska. The organization primarily provides environmental and natural resource management services to federal agencies, specializing in ecological restoration, habitat management, invasive species control, and land rehabilitation projects. As a conservation district, Salcha-Delta SWCD works extensively with federal agencies to support environmental preservation, wildlife habitat protection, and sustainable land management across Alaska's diverse landscapes.

In terms of federal contract work, Salcha-Delta SWCD has demonstrated capabilities in invasive species treatment services, particularly for the Bureau of Land Management's Alaska Region. Their federal contract awards have included physical and herbicide-based invasive species treatment projects, such as a $88,000 Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) for invasive species treatment in the Dalton area and a $47,000 BPA for herbicide-based invasive species treatment. These contracts were not set-aside and involved civilian agencies like the Bureau of Land Management. While their federal contract portfolio appears limited, they have successfully executed targeted environmental management projects with clear scopes of work.

Salcha-Delta SWCD's federal grant awards are substantially more extensive, primarily focusing on natural resource management, habitat restoration, and conservation projects across military installations and public lands. They have received numerous cooperative agreements from agencies including the Department of Defense, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Bureau of Land Management, National Park Service, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. These grants support diverse initiatives such as invasive species management at Eielson Air Force Base, watershed restoration in Alaska's Yukon and Kuskokwim regions, wildlife habitat enhancement, stream restoration, native plant nursery development, and implementation of Integrated Natural Resources Management Plans (INRMPs) for military training areas. Grant values range from approximately $170,000 to over $4.4 million, demonstrating their capacity to manage complex, multi-year environmental conservation and restoration projects across Alaska's challenging landscapes.
