Callout for Green Infrastructure Project Proposals for FY 2025

The Indian Health Service receives annual appropriations of Green Infrastructure Funds to address sustainability in existing health care facilities. The appropriation directs the IHS Office of Environmental Health and Engineering to incorporate planning, design, and operations of buildings to reduce costs, minimize environmental impacts, use renewable energy, and incorporate green infrastructure and the most current energy efficiency codes and standards to the maximum extent practicable.

The Division of Facilities Planning and Construction is requesting that all interested IHS Areas submit project-specific proposals. All proposals must be submitted through the appropriate IHS Area Office. This includes proposals from service units and tribal entities. For tribally owned or operated facilities, tribes are encouraged to consult in advance with their respective Area Office to assure consistency with other submissions.

All projects will be assessed, ranked, and awarded until funds are exhausted. Any funds not awarded will be added to the next year's allocation. Final proposals are due to IHS DFPC by January 23, 2025.
