Opportunity Information: Apply for NWO CESU 17 33
The grant opportunity titled "CONSVERATION LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER (CLEO) SUPPORT" (Funding Opportunity Number: NWO CESU 17 33) is a Department of Defense-funded cooperative agreement focused on providing conservation-oriented law enforcement services across multiple U.S. Air Force installations in Florida. The work is tied to environmental stewardship and natural resource protection on military-managed lands, specifically at Avon Park Air Force Range, Eglin Air Force Base, Tyndall Air Force Base, MacDill Air Force Base, Patrick Air Force Base, and Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. The underlying need described is for professional patrol and surveillance capacity to help the Air Force manage and protect these large, often heavily used properties.
The project centers on Conservation Law Enforcement Officer support, meaning the awardee would supply personnel capable of conducting routine patrols and surveillance of designated areas and of engaging directly with people using those lands and resources. A major portion of the role involves making contact with resource users (for example, individuals accessing management areas for authorized recreation or other permitted activities), monitoring compliance, and addressing unlawful or unsafe behaviors. The enforcement component is explicitly framed around both applicable conservation laws and Air Force regulations, indicating that officers must be able to apply relevant state and/or federal conservation protections alongside installation-specific rules governing access, hunting/fishing where applicable, wildlife protection, habitat protection, restricted areas, and general conduct on Air Force property.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity was listed under the discretionary category and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which typically implies a more collaborative relationship with the government than a standard grant, often including substantial involvement by the agency in coordinating, guiding, or overseeing performance. The funding activity category is Environment, and the CFDA number provided is 12.632, aligning the effort with broader defense environmental and natural resources management priorities. The issuing agency is the Department of Defense, Omaha District, which indicates management through that district office for this particular award.
In terms of scale and competitiveness, the opportunity anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an award ceiling of $760,000. Eligibility was broadly described as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," which suggests that the eligible applicant pool may have been limited or defined by additional criteria not included in the excerpt, such as membership in a specific cooperative ecosystem studies unit (CESU) network or other partnership framework. Key timing details show the posting date as July 21, 2017, with an original closing date of August 22, 2017, indicating a roughly one-month application window.
Overall, the opportunity is best understood as funding for boots-on-the-ground conservation enforcement support across several major Florida Air Force installations, intended to strengthen patrol presence, ensure compliance with conservation and installation rules, and support responsible public or authorized user interaction with sensitive management lands. The outcome the Air Force is buying is practical, field-based oversight that helps protect natural resources and maintain orderly, lawful use of Air Force-controlled properties while aligning day-to-day enforcement actions with environmental management goals.Apply for NWO CESU 17 33
