NRCS' Feral Swine Eradication and Control Pilot Program Fiscal Year (FY) 2026The Feral Swine Eradication and Control Pilot Program for Fiscal Year 2026, administered by the Natural Resources Conservation Service under the U.S. Department of Agriculture, aims to mitigate the widespread environmental, agricultural, and public health threats posed by invasive feral swine populations. Authorized by the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 and extended by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, the program targets states with high feral swine densities, including Alabama, Arkansas, California, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas. The initiative is structured around three coordinated components: feral swine removal led by APHIS Wildlife Services, ecological restoration efforts supported by NRCS or non-federal partners, and on-farm control assistance provided to producers through grants. This solicitation specifically seeks proposals for the second and third components, focusing on landowner assistance for habitat restoration and trapping efforts. All activities must be conducted in close coordination with NRCS and APHIS, with APHIS retaining operational control over feral swine management. Projects must align with established guidelines, comply with applicable state and federal laws, and demonstrate strong partnerships with local entities to ensure long-term sustainability. Proposals must be submitted electronically via Grants.gov by September 21, 2026, and are evaluated on a weighted 100-point scale across seven factors: Activities (30%), Feasible Tools (15%), Likelihood of Success (15%), Feasible Costs (15%), Measures of Success (10%), Landowner Participation and Community Interest (10%), and Existing Programs (5%). Applications must include a 15-page project narrative, a one-page abstract, SF-424A budget form, budget narrative, GADSUM-9 contact form, Current and Pending Support documentation, and a Negotiated Indirect Cost Rate Agreement if indirect costs are claimed. Subawards require independent budgets and justifications. Applicants must have a valid Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) registered in SAM.gov and disclose lobbying activities via SF-LLL if applicable. Risk reviews will assess financial stability, past performance, and management systems, with awards based on best-value trade-off rather than lowest price. All documents must be in PDF format, not exceed 10 MB per file, and meet formatting requirements including 12-point font and one-inch margins. No physical submissions are accepted, and late applications will be rejected. Award recipients
