Opportunity Information: Apply for N624731920020
The Mosquito Abatement and Vector Control at Naval Weapon Station (NWS) Seal Beach, California opportunity is a U.S. Department of Defense grant-style award intended to support mosquito control work on and around the installation, specifically in both the Tidal Area and the Inland Area. The central goal is to reduce mosquito populations in locations where standing or slow-moving water allows mosquitoes to develop, especially in and near areas where people live and work. By focusing on these sites, the project aims to prevent mosquito infestations that could affect nearby dense human habitation and, importantly, limit the public health and operational risks associated with mosquito-borne diseases such as West Nile virus. The practical emphasis is on stopping mosquitoes before they become flying adults by targeting the larval and pupal life stages in aquatic habitats.
A key feature of this opportunity is that the mosquito control activities are expected to take place within a sensitive environmental context. Work will occur on a National Wildlife Refuge and within habitat used by endangered and threatened species, which means the program cannot be approached as routine broad-spectrum pest control. Instead, all actions must be designed and carried out to minimize impacts to natural resources, with careful attention to protecting non-target wildlife and the surrounding ecosystem. Because of these constraints, the effort requires specialized regulatory compliance and coordination, including obtaining permits from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) before performing services in protected areas.
Administratively, this funding opportunity is listed as an earmark and will be issued as a Cooperative Agreement, indicating the federal agency expects active involvement or coordination during the period of performance rather than a fully hands-off grant. The sponsoring office is the Department of Defense, Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC), and the activity category is Natural Resources under CFDA 12.300. The funding opportunity number is N624731920020. The posting indicates an anticipated single award, with an award ceiling of $16,000, reflecting a relatively small, targeted project scope focused on specific abatement needs at NWS Seal Beach. The opportunity was created on June 14, 2019, with an original closing date of July 14, 2019. Eligibility is broadly described as "Others," with additional clarification typically provided in the full eligibility text of the solicitation.
Overall, the opportunity supports a mission-driven public health and force protection objective: reducing the likelihood that mosquito-borne disease could disrupt mission essential operations at NWS Seal Beach. At the same time, it requires a conservation-minded approach due to work occurring on refuge lands and near protected species, meaning the selected recipient would need to demonstrate the ability to perform effective larval and pupal control while meeting strict environmental protection and USFWS permitting requirements.Apply for N624731920020

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is this funding opportunity?
This opportunity supports mosquito abatement and vector control services at Naval Weapon Station (NWS) Seal Beach, California. The work is focused on reducing mosquito populations by targeting mosquito breeding sites, particularly where standing or slow-moving water allows mosquitoes to develop.
What is the main goal of the project?
The central goal is to reduce mosquito populations in areas on and around the installation where mosquitoes can develop, especially near places where people live and work. By reducing mosquitoes at these source habitats, the project aims to prevent infestations and lower the public health and operational risks associated with mosquito-borne diseases such as West Nile virus.
Where will the mosquito control work take place?
Services are expected to occur in two areas associated with NWS Seal Beach: the Tidal Area and the Inland Area. The description emphasizes locations with standing or slow-moving water that can support mosquito development.

Does the description indicate what approach to mosquito control is preferred?
Yes. The description emphasizes controlling mosquitoes at aquatic breeding sites (standing or slow-moving water) and focusing on larval and pupal stages, rather than relying on broad-spectrum approaches that could increase impacts to non-target species in a refuge environment.
What capabilities should a strong applicant be able to demonstrate based on the description?
Based on the description, a recipient should be able to perform effective larval and pupal mosquito control in aquatic habitats while meeting strict environmental protection expectations, including coordinating compliance needs and securing USFWS permits required for work in protected areas.
