Opportunity Summary:
The "2009 2014 Amended Rocky Mountain CESU Agreement" (Funding Opportunity Number FWS 93250 0 0041) is a discretionary cooperative agreement opportunity issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in the environment program area. It was posted on January 14, 2010, created on January 20, 2010, and carried an application closing date of January 28, 2010, with the announcement later archived on February 27, 2010. The agency anticipated making one award under this announcement, reflecting that the funding was intended to support a specific, defined activity rather than a broad, open competition among multiple organizations.
This opportunity was explicitly identified as a single-source award under the Department of the Interior policy criteria in 505 DM 2.14 B (4). In practical terms, that means the agency documented that only one recipient was considered uniquely qualified to carry out the work based on a combination of factors, especially geographic location and specialized technical expertise. Because those conditions were judged to meet the government standard for a noncompetitive action, the award was to be issued without competition, and the announcement states that no other applicants needed to apply.
The sole eligible and intended recipient was Montana State University, specifically its Center for Invasive Plant Management. The work to be supported involved coordinating the international conference "Weeds Across Borders (WAB) 2010." The core purpose of the funding, therefore, was not construction or infrastructure, but professional coordination and related technical assistance connected to invasive plant management, consistent with the listed CFDA number 15.649 (Service Training and Technical Assistance, described as generic training). The cooperative agreement instrument also signals that the Fish and Wildlife Service expected to have substantial involvement in the project in some form, which is typical for cooperative agreements compared to standard grants.
Financially, the estimated total funding for the opportunity was $46,930, and the award ceiling was also $46,930, meaning the announcement contemplated up to that full amount for the single award. The award floor was listed as $0, which is commonly used in postings even when a specific award amount is expected, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement. In effect, the project was designed to be fully supported by federal funds up to the stated ceiling, without requiring the recipient to contribute a mandatory match.
For administrative and access questions, the announcement lists a point of contact: Kay Shipp, Administrative Officer, reachable by phone at 703-358-2510. The notice also indicates that assistance could be provided if an applicant had difficulty accessing the full announcement electronically, though the eligibility section makes clear the intent was a single-source award to Montana State University for the WAB 2010 conference coordination.
