Opportunity Information: Apply for W9126G 23 2 SOI 3311
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Kansas City District, is seeking Statements of Interest (not full proposals) for a research and technical support effort focused on reservoir sedimentation in the Kansas River Basin. The opportunity is framed as an initial screening step to identify qualified investigators or teams that can support a broader project under the USACE Public Assistance to States Program, consistent with federal research and development authorities cited in the notice (10 U.S.C. 4001). At this stage, applicants are not being asked to submit a complete study plan or a detailed budget; instead, the government is collecting brief responses to gauge capability, relevant experience, and fit for the objectives described in the Statement of Objectives.
The anticipated work centers on two connected themes. First, the project aims to help researchers identify and better understand the watershed sources of sediment that are ultimately delivered to reservoirs in the Kansas River Basin. This implies a basin-wide or multi-watershed look at where sediment originates, how it moves through the system, and how it ends up accumulating in reservoirs, potentially affecting storage capacity, operations, and long-term project benefits. Second, the effort includes an economics component: examining how different economic analysis paradigms influence the way reservoir sedimentation is valued, prioritized, or addressed. In practical terms, the government is looking for support that links physical sedimentation understanding with how costs, benefits, and management choices are evaluated, recognizing that different economic frameworks can lead to different conclusions about the significance of sedimentation and the justification for interventions.
USACE indicates it will play an active supporting role by providing relevant economic input data and helping coordinate site visits and on-the-ground support for “ground-truthing,” meaning field-based validation of conditions or assumptions used in analyses. This suggests that the eventual awardee will likely collaborate closely with USACE staff, use USACE-provided datasets where applicable, and participate in coordinated field activities to confirm sediment sources, transport pathways, or reservoir conditions. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally signals substantial involvement by the federal agency during the period of performance rather than a hands-off grant.
For funding and schedule, the notice states that approximately $316,000 is expected to be available for a 24-month base period, beginning from the date of award. There is also the possibility of follow-on work: up to three additional 12-month follow-on periods (three years total beyond the base) contingent on future funding and continued need, with the implication that the successful recipient may be well positioned for those extensions. While the base-period amount is stated as an estimate, the listing also includes an award ceiling of $816,000 and an expectation of one award, indicating the overall scale the agency anticipates across the base and potential options.
Administratively, this opportunity was posted on Grants.gov as Funding Opportunity Number W9126G 23 2 SOI 3311, categorized as “Other” with an activity focus on science and technology and other research and development (CFDA 12.300). The submission window in the notice runs from June 15, 2023 to July 15, 2023, and the agency notes that Statements of Interest must be posted for 30 days before the government makes a decision and potentially invites full proposals. Questions and responses are directed to the listed points of contact: Maria Lopez, Grants Specialist (Maria.E.Lopez@usace.army.mil; 817-886-1881) and Brian Hesford, Project Manager (Brian.D.Hesford@usace.army.mil; 402-200-8268).Apply for W9126G 23 2 SOI 3311
