Opportunity Information: Apply for W9126G 21 2 SOI 5123
The Net Zero and Energy Conservation Study, Fort Hood, TX (Funding Opportunity Number W9126G-21-2-SOI-5123) is a Department of Defense opportunity issued through the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Fort Worth District, to identify qualified investigators who can provide technical and professional support to Fort Hood's energy and conservation efforts. The project was planned to begin in 2021 and is structured as a Request for Statements of Interest (RSOI), meaning the government is not asking for a full technical proposal or a detailed budget at this stage. Instead, Fort Hood is using short qualification packages to narrow down a pool of capable partners and then invite the best-matched respondent(s) to submit a full proposal later.
Eligibility is limited and very specific. Applicants must be non-federal partners and must be members of one of the following Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units (CESU) regions: Desert Southwest, Great Plains, or Gulf Coast. Because this is being pursued under the CESU framework, the anticipated funding instrument is a cooperative agreement (not a procurement contract), and the government expects substantial involvement during performance. If awarded through CESU, the CESU Network indirect cost rate of 17.5 percent may apply, but only by mutual agreement and official authorization. The listing shows an expected award amount (ceiling) of about $113,000 and anticipates a single award.
The work itself centers on Fort Hood's Energy Program and its annual Measurement and Verification (M&V) activities tied to Energy Savings Performance Contracting (ESPC). In practical terms, the selected partner would help Fort Hood validate and justify energy savings attributed to Johnson Controls across multiple "Domain Objects" (identified as DO#1, DO#2, and DO#3). The support includes collecting and analyzing energy data, producing energy savings and validation reports, participating in planning and coordination meetings, and developing or supporting access to a Utility Monitoring and Control System (UMCS) database. The scope also calls for development of an M&V plan for solar thermal systems, and it includes a public outreach and education component focused on energy conservation.
A notable analytical expectation in the scope is troubleshooting performance gaps. The cooperator is expected to examine Fort Hood's ESPC-related energy savings outcomes and determine why there are large deviations between forecasted savings and documented results. Fort Hood will provide existing energy layout plans and phased database materials needed for the Energy Plan, but the recipient is expected to synthesize that information into updated reporting and clear explanations that can support decision-making and accountability.
The period of performance is planned as a 24-month base period for non-severable services, and the effort requires onsite support at Fort Hood, Texas. The awardee would also be expected to coordinate closely with the Fort Worth District Grants Officer's Representative (GOR), the installation Project Manager, and other installation stakeholders, reflecting the collaborative nature typical of cooperative agreements.
For the Statement of Interest submission, respondents were instructed to keep the package to a maximum of two pages, single-spaced, 12-point font. Required content includes basic entity identifiers and contact details (name, organization, CAGE code, DUNS number, and email), plus a brief statement of qualifications. The qualification section is expected to include a biographical sketch, examples of relevant past projects and clients, a description of available staff/faculty/students and their expertise, and any additional capabilities that demonstrate the ability to perform the work (such as equipment or facilities). The agency emphasized that it did not want a full study proposal or a proposed budget at this stage, only evidence of skills, experience, and capacity to do similar work.
Statements of Interest were to be evaluated by a review board at the receiving installation/activity, with selection based on how well the investigator's experience and capabilities align with the study requirements. The RSOI was required to remain posted for at least 30 days before the government made decisions and requested full proposals. The stated deadline for SOI submissions was 5:00 PM Central Time on August 26, 2021. Points of contact for questions and submissions were Alisa Marshall (Agreement Specialist, USACE Fort Worth District) and Kathy Mitchell (Agreement Project Manager, USACE Fort Worth District).Apply for W9126G 21 2 SOI 5123
