Opportunity Information: Apply for POA50AF CESU 18 03
The grant opportunity titled "Management, invasive species, Wake Island Airfield USA" (Funding Opportunity Number POA50AF CESU 18 03) is a Department of Defense effort managed through the Alaska District, offered as a discretionary cooperative agreement under the environment funding activity category (CFDA 12.632). The project is focused on invasive species management and habitat restoration at Wake Island Airfield (WIA), with an 18-month performance period. The overall intent is to improve and use an existing on-site native plant nursery as the backbone for removing problematic non-native vegetation and re-establishing native vegetation in specific areas on or near the airfield.
The core work has four connected parts. First, the recipient is expected to conduct infrastructure improvements at the existing WIA native nursery. While the notice does not list the exact improvements, the objective is clearly to strengthen the nursery's ability to reliably propagate and hold native plants over time, which typically implies upgrades that increase survival, efficiency, and biosecurity (for example, better propagation areas, irrigation reliability, shade structures, potting and storage capacity, and measures to prevent contamination by non-native species). Second, the project requires ongoing nursery operations to maintain a ready stockpile of native plants for restoration work. Specifically, the nursery must maintain a minimum stockpile consisting of at least four native species throughout the entire 18-month project period, meaning the recipient needs to plan propagation cycles, plant care, and replacement production so that those species remain available rather than being depleted after initial planting.
Third, the award supports invasive and incompatible vegetation removal. The recipient must remove non-native vegetation and any vegetation considered incompatible with U.S. Air Force flight line requirements from two designated project areas identified in the solicitation's Figure 1. This indicates the work is not only ecological but also tied to airfield safety and operational constraints, where vegetation height, density, and species type can create hazards (such as attracting wildlife or interfering with line-of-sight and infrastructure). Finally, after removal, the recipient must out-plant native vegetation into the same two project areas during the 18-month period. This restoration planting is meant to stabilize the sites and replace non-native cover with appropriate native species, ideally reducing reinvasion risk and supporting long-term habitat goals while staying compatible with airfield operations.
Funding for the project has an award ceiling of $167,000, with the government expecting to make one award. The opportunity was originally posted on August 2, 2018, with an original closing date of August 31, 2018. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced in the full announcement text. Overall, the opportunity is best understood as a small, targeted cooperative agreement to improve nursery capacity, maintain a consistent inventory of native plants, remove invasive and flight line-incompatible vegetation from two specified areas, and complete native out-planting to restore those areas over an 18-month timeline.Apply for POA50AF CESU 18 03
