Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a single-source federal funding action by the U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (DOI-FWS), under Funding Opportunity Number F16AS00177. It is not a typical competitive grant announcement and does not come with a full solicitation package. Instead, it functions as a formal notice that the Service intends to make one cooperative agreement award to a specifically identified recipient: Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech, VT). The stated purpose of the work is to create digital maps for the National Wetland Inventory (NWI), which is the Fish and Wildlife Service program responsible for mapping and providing geospatial data on wetlands and related aquatic habitats.
The planned award amount is $243,450, and the opportunity anticipates exactly one award, with an award ceiling listed as 1 (reflecting that only one award is expected rather than setting a maximum dollar cap in the usual sense). The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project during performance (as opposed to a standard grant where involvement is typically more limited). The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and is associated with CFDA Number 15.665, a catalog listing commonly tied to Fish and Wildlife Service wildlife and sport fish restoration-related assistance programs.
The opportunity was created and posted on April 20, 2016, with an original and current closing date of April 28, 2016. Although the eligibility field is listed as "Unrestricted" in the database metadata, the text of the notice makes clear that the Service intends to award to a single source (VT), meaning this is not an open, competitive call for proposals. In practical terms, the posting is mainly a public transparency step documenting the government’s intent to fund a particular institution for a defined mapping effort supporting the National Wetland Inventory.
