Active Government Funding Opportunities

USGS seeks a research partner to develop an enhanced gene expression panel that can distinguish among multiple stressors affecting marine species like sea lions, salmon, and mussels. The goal is early warning and ecosystem monitoring to support recovery and management decisions.

This Interior Department cooperative agreement seeks a robust method to correct for solution chemistry interferences in molecularly imprinted polymer electrochemical sensors used to detect contaminants like PFAS in complex environmental water. The work involves bench-scale proof of concept testing that scales to field-deployed trials.

This USGS cooperative agreement seeks research partners to build decision support tools for managing chronic wasting disease in deer and elk. The work models disease spread and tests surveillance and management strategies to protect wildlife across the northeastern and western US.

Seeks a partner to develop lidar-based workflows that estimate floodplain connectivity across Great Basin riverscapes, replacing limited field-based methods. The goal is scalable, continuous measures of river and riparian health to guide restoration and fish and wildlife recovery.

Seeking a CESU partner to support cisco restoration in Lakes Huron and Erie through a structured decision-making workshop for fisheries managers and experiments identifying hatchery conditions that produce the highest-quality cisco for reintroduction. It addresses declining native fish populations by combining decision science with applied aquaculture research.

USGS Powell Center seeks research to map where aquatic contaminants pose risks to aerial insectivorous birds across the U.S. and Europe. The spatially explicit framework will help decision makers anticipate environmental health risks at local, regional, and continental scales.

Research cooperative agreement studying how invasive cheatgrass fuels repeated wildfires in eastern sagebrush and Great Plains grasslands. The goal is mapping the invasive grass-fire cycle and identifying management strategies that help communities reduce wildfire risk.

Seeks scientific research on invasive plant risks in Hawaiʻi, analyzing horticultural trade and invasion records to identify high-risk species and areas. Findings will guide early detection, screening, and management to reduce wildfire, erosion, and ecosystem harm.

Seeks research to build a predictive modeling tool that forecasts non-native fish invasions, like brook trout and smallmouth bass, threatening bull trout and other native fish in Northwest freshwater streams. The tool will help managers prioritize actions to protect these ecosystems under changing climate conditions.

Seeks research partners to study how invasive plant control methods can stay effective as rising temperatures boost invasive plant growth in the Northeast. The work synthesizes practitioner experience and scientific evidence to help land managers adapt treatment strategies.

Seeks a contractor to construct a vehicle maintenance shop at Kadena Air Base in Okinawa, Japan, under a federal construction solicitation. Covers building work for maintaining military vehicles on the base.

A DoD support contract for the Preservation of the Force and Family (POTFF III) programs, seeking contractor staff to deliver services across cognitive, physical, psychological, social, and spiritual domains plus enterprise data analytics. It aims to strengthen service member and family resilience and readiness through program support and analytics integration.

The Air Force is seeking commercial contractors to provide flight training on C-208 and PC-12 aircraft, covering airland, airdrop, ISR, and night vision missions for U.S. Air Advisors and international partners. The work centers on training delivery and aircraft lease support rather than new technology development.

The Army is seeking IT contractor support to build and sustain a scalable Geospatial Intelligence (GEOINT) architecture, supporting mapping and imagery analysis for intelligence operations. The work is a time-and-materials services contract focused on staffing and maintaining existing capabilities.

The Army is seeking a contractor to provide long-term lodging in Bluffdale, Utah, for a base year plus two option years. This is a women-owned small business set-aside sourcing commercial lodging services.

NOAA's NESDIS is seeking broad research proposals spanning satellite and environmental data science, including work that can be carried out through university-led Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units. It aims to advance scientific understanding and monitoring of natural and cultural resources across U.S. regions.

NSF X-Labs initiative soliciting team proposals under an Other Transaction Agreement to advance bioengineering research, translating biological sequence information into engineered biological function.

NASA JSC sources sought for engineering support in Guidance, Navigation and Control, systems engineering, and Rendezvous Proximity Operations and Capture (RPOC) research, analysis, and test.

NIWC Atlantic prototype effort to build a repeatable, scalable method accelerating DoW adoption of emerging commercial software and technologies, addressing security authorization and licensing barriers.

A Department of Defense solicitation for standard commercial hardware, including screw jacks, fasteners, guide rails, bearing carriages, motor starters, and compact lift tables for a 100% small-business set-aside. It is a straightforward procurement of existing off-the-shelf components with no research or novel technology development involved.

A federal construction contractor is sought to demolish and rebuild fueling systems at Kingsley Field, Oregon, including offloads, fillstands, and secondary containment. This is a standard facilities construction effort rather than a technology development opportunity.

DoD seeks qualified vendors for mature Medium Unmanned Surface Vessels (MUSVs) capable of autonomous open-ocean operations with multi-day endurance and 48-ton payload capacity. Solutions will be onboarded to a digital marketplace enabling rapid acquisition across the Department of Defense enterprise.

The Army seeks innovative commercial manufacturing technologies and solutions to modernize its organic industrial base, including digital systems integration, automation, and advanced manufacturing capabilities. This competitive solicitation invites traditional and non-traditional contractors to propose products, services, or adaptations that accelerate warfighter capability delivery.

Anniston Army Depot seeks an innovative replacement for a legacy X1100 oil pump test stand to support overhaul operations on critical military vehicles. The new stand must modernize testing capabilities while maintaining compatibility with existing workflows and dimensional constraints.

DoD seeks autonomy and collaborative teaming software for uncrewed aircraft operating in complex, communication-denied environments. Technologies needed include autonomous mission planning, human-autonomy interfaces, and network management for tactical Army operations.
