Naval Support Facility Indian Head Stream Restoration Implementation | N40080 24 2 0002

Opportunity Information: Apply for N40080 24 2 0002

The Naval Support Facility Indian Head Stream Restoration Implementation opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number N40080 24 2 0002) is a discretionary federal funding notice issued by NAVFAC Washington, DC, using a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument. The project is focused on natural resources work at Naval Support Facility Indian Head (NSFIH) in northwestern Charles County, Maryland. The main goal is to implement a stream restoration effort that repairs existing damage, prevents ongoing erosion, and reduces Nonpoint Source (NPS) pollution entering local waters.

The scope of work is very specific and implementation-ready: the selected cooperator will restore a total of about 450 linear feet of stream, split across two separate reaches. The restoration approach centers on structural repair and erosion prevention strategies along the affected shoreline/streambanks. The measures described include living shoreline techniques, installation of a boulder toe for bank stabilization, removal of existing gabions (where they are present and need to be taken out), and extensive native plantings along with other supporting erosion-reduction features. In practical terms, the project is meant to stabilize banks, slow down erosive forces, rebuild more resilient stream edges, and improve water quality by limiting sediment and related pollutant runoff associated with eroding banks.

A key feature of this opportunity is that the project is not asking applicants to create designs from scratch or initiate permitting. The solicitation states that all necessary designs and permits will already be in place, which shifts the focus toward construction/implementation, compliance, coordination, and successful delivery of the restoration as designed. The organization receiving the award must follow all applicable permits and requirements issued by Charles County, the State of Maryland, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and any other relevant permitting authorities. Because this is structured as a Cooperative Agreement, applicants should also expect substantial involvement from the federal partner during execution (for example, coordination on technical decisions, reporting, scheduling, and compliance expectations).

Funding is expected to result in a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an award ceiling of $760,000. The original application closing date listed is June 27, 2024, and the opportunity was created on May 30, 2024. The CFDA number associated with the opportunity is 12.005, and the activity category is Natural Resources, which signals the project is framed as an environmental restoration and pollution reduction effort rather than a purely infrastructure repair project.

Eligibility is broad across public, nonprofit, and other responsible entities. The notice indicates that responsible sources from academia, industry, and non-governmental organizations may apply, and it explicitly includes nonprofits, universities, and state and local governments. The eligible applicant types listed include county governments, city or township governments, independent school districts, federally recognized tribal governments and other tribal organizations, nonprofits with and without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education), and even individuals. In short, the competition is open to a wide range of capable applicants, but the practical fit will favor organizations with demonstrated experience delivering permitted streambank/shoreline restoration projects, managing environmental compliance, and implementing native planting and erosion-control work to meet regulatory and water-quality objectives.
