Opportunity Summary:
The Absentee Shawnee Wildland Fire Management opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number A16AC00023) is not an open competition and not a request for proposals. It is posted as a Notice of Award, meaning the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), within the U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI-BIA), is publicly documenting that it has already entered into a cooperative agreement with the Absentee Shawnee Tribe. The purpose of the agreement is to support wildland fire management services on lands that are held in trust by the BIA for the benefit of the Absentee Shawnee Tribe.
The award is structured as a Cooperative Agreement under the Natural Resources activity area and is associated with CFDA 15.035. Cooperative agreements are typically used when the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the work, which can include coordination, technical support, joint planning, oversight, or other collaborative roles as the fire management activities are carried out. The only eligible applicant category listed is federally recognized Native American tribal governments, consistent with the fact that the agreement is specifically tied to trust lands and a particular tribal government partner.
Administratively, the opportunity was created and posted on February 25, 2016, with a listed closing date of March 4, 2016 (both the original and current closing dates are the same). These dates function more as publication and recordkeeping milestones rather than an application window, since the notice clarifies it is not soliciting proposals. The listing indicates an expectation of one award, aligning with the named recipient relationship. The award ceiling is shown as 0, which commonly appears in notices that are not intended to advertise funding availability or that do not disclose a maximum amount through the public listing.
In practical terms, the notice communicates that DOI-BIA has formalized funding and collaboration with the Absentee Shawnee Tribe to carry out wildland fire management responsibilities on BIA trust lands associated with the Tribe, covering the kinds of activities typically included in wildland fire programs such as preparedness, prevention, suppression coordination, and related management functions, as defined in the scope of the existing cooperative agreement.
