Opportunity Summary:
The 2011 State of Alaska Liaison and Staff Support opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F11PS00415) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), Headquarters Region 7 discretionary grant/cooperative agreement intended to fund liaison and staff support work tied to Alaska subsistence management. It is explicitly a single-source award to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADF&G), meaning it is not a competitive solicitation and the government does not plan to accept or review proposals from other applicants. The notice indicates the award would be made about 15 days after posting. The program sits under CFDA 15.636 (Alaska Subsistence Management), with an estimated total funding amount of $420,800, an award ceiling of $420,800, and an award floor of $100,000. No cost sharing or matching is required, and the only listed eligible applicant type is state governments, though in practice the write-up makes clear the intended recipient is ADF&G.
The core purpose of the agreement is to help ADF&G better carry out its state responsibilities to maintain healthy fish and wildlife populations while also sustaining harvest opportunities for Alaska residents, consistent with Alaska statutes. In practical terms, the funding supports the staffing and coordination capacity needed to keep fish and wildlife management functioning smoothly in Alaska, particularly where subsistence uses and regulatory decisions depend on timely technical information and close coordination between state and federal partners.
The objectives focus on improving interagency collaboration around subsistence management by facilitating the gathering, sharing, and exchange of technical information. This includes supporting the development and evaluation of regulatory proposals affecting fish and wildlife populations, which often requires assembling biological and harvest data, discussing management options, and ensuring that both state and federal decision-makers are working from consistent information. The intent is to strengthen the dual management coordination between ADF&G and the Office of Subsistence Management and to support processes that ultimately inform the Federal Subsistence Board as well as state managers.
The justification for making this a single-source award is laid out in three main points. First, it is described as a continuation of an ongoing activity already being funded, where introducing competition would disrupt continuity and could negatively affect completion of the work. Second, USFWS cites legislative intent and statutory authorities indicating the agreement aligns with Congresss direction and the underlying legal framework for coordination and subsistence management, specifically referencing the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (16 USC 661 to 666C) and the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (including 16 USC 410hh and 43 USC 1602 to 1784). Third, USFWS argues ADF&G has unique qualifications that cannot be replicated by another entity: it has the technical and scientific capacity to provide liaison services and staff support for the dual management system, it collects key biological information and harvest data (including harvest ticket and household survey data), and it holds direct management responsibilities for the same wildlife populations on non-federal lands. Because ADF&G is embedded in the existing state-federal management structure in Alaska and already performs these core data collection and management roles, the agency concludes it is uniquely positioned to run the workgroups and produce products useful to both federal subsistence regulators and state wildlife managers.
Key administrative details include a posted date of February 18, 2011, and an original/current closing date of March 7, 2011, with an archive date of April 6, 2011. The opportunity is categorized under Environment and Natural Resources, with an expectation of a single award. For access issues, the listed contact is Richard Primmer, Contract Specialist, at 907-786-3611.
