Opportunity Information: Apply for W912DR1920003
The "FLTP Data Collection at Corps Facilities" opportunity is a discretionary Department of Defense grant run through the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Baltimore District, and it is structured as a single cooperative agreement. The project centers on building and improving spatial (GIS-style) data that describes recreation and transportation assets at USACE-managed sites. In plain terms, the selected organization would help the Corps develop, verify, and enhance map-based datasets that show where facilities are and what they consist of, with a particular focus on roads, parking lots, and recreation-related infrastructure.
The work is geographically spread across eight USACE districts: Portland, Tulsa, Ft. Worth, Vicksburg, Mobile, Wilmington, St. Louis, and Louisville. The intent is to produce consistent, reliable spatial data that can be used across different USACE business lines and programs, including programs that rely on separate internal databases. A key theme in the description is interoperability and standardization: USACE is trying to collect data in a way that can be turned into a product meeting management needs across multiple internal systems, rather than producing a one-off dataset that only fits a single office or tool.
A major driver behind the effort is eligibility for Federal Lands Transportation Program (FLTP) funding. FLTP funds are used for maintenance and improvement of transportation infrastructure on federally owned lands, including road and parking lot maintenance. By strengthening and validating the underlying spatial inventory of transportation and related facilities, USACE positions itself to better support FLTP-related planning, justification, and funding applications. In practice, this kind of data collection and verification helps ensure USACE can document assets accurately, prioritize needs, and align requests with program requirements tied to federal transportation funding streams.
The award is intended for a nonprofit organization with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). USACE expects to make one award under this opportunity, with an award ceiling of $1,800,000. The opportunity was posted under Funding Opportunity Number W912DR1920003, categorized under Natural Resources (CFDA 12.010), and it originally opened on June 14, 2019, with an original closing date of June 28, 2019. Overall, the grant is aimed at bringing specialized expertise to USACE for high-quality spatial data development and quality assurance across multiple districts, directly supporting transportation asset management and the Corps' ability to compete for and use FLTP funds for needed road and parking lot work on federal lands.Apply for W912DR1920003
