Opportunity Information: Apply for N40192 17 R 8000
The Department of Defense, through the Naval Facilities Engineering Command, released a discretionary cooperative agreement opportunity focused on natural resource protection on Naval Base Guam (NBG) in Santa Rita, Guam. The project, titled "Feral Pig Eradication Located on Naval Base Guam (NBG)," was created in response to the well-documented ecological and community impacts caused by non-native feral pigs on Guam. The government frames feral pigs as a serious invasive species that damages essentially all native habitat types on the island by eating seedlings and young plants, trampling vegetation, creating wallows, and rooting up soil. Those behaviors accelerate soil erosion, which can carry sediment into coastal waters and potentially harm coral reefs, reducing overall biodiversity and degrading linked land-to-sea ecosystems.
A central concern in the notice is that feral pigs are not only destructive to habitat but may also pose disease-related risks. The opportunity references scientific findings indicating that feral pigs can harbor diseases that affect the ecosystem directly or indirectly and may also raise safety concerns for people living and working on NBG. The announcement also highlights a specific conservation issue: feral pigs are known to prey on sea turtle eggs. This is particularly important at Spanish Steps on NBG, a protected nesting area used by sea turtles, including endangered species. Protecting turtle nests and other sensitive shoreline resources is presented as a clear project driver alongside broader terrestrial and wetland protection goals.
The anticipated work under the cooperative agreement is straightforward in purpose but significant in scope: eradicate feral pigs from NBG Main Base. The notice emphasizes that NBG is one of the few places on Guam where full eradication is realistically achievable because the base is surrounded by a security fence that prevents new pigs from immigrating onto the installation. That fencing creates a rare opportunity for a closed or controlled management area where removal efforts can lead to lasting results, rather than an ongoing cycle of reinvasion. The performance location is on Department of Defense lands within the Joint Region Marianas Area of Responsibility, specifically NBG in Santa Rita, Guam, meaning applicants should be prepared to operate in a secure military environment and coordinate closely with DoD stakeholders as part of the cooperative agreement structure.
