Opportunity Summary:
The ALASKA MIGRATORY BIRD SUBSISTENCE HARVEST SURVEYS opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F12AS00201) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), Region 7 discretionary funding action in the Environment and Natural Resources category. It is structured as a Cooperative Agreement under CFDA 15.643 (Alaska Migratory Bird Co-Management Council) and is intended to support the ongoing collection and reporting of subsistence harvest data for migratory birds in Alaska. The announcement makes clear that this is not an open competition or a request for proposals; instead, USFWS plans to make a single-source award to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game (ADFG), Division of Subsistence, with the award expected to be issued about 15 days after the notice.
The purpose of the agreement is to strengthen the ability of ADFG’s Division of Subsistence to coordinate and support the statewide (subsistence-eligible areas) system of field harvest surveys that document migratory bird subsistence take. The ultimate end user of the work is the Alaska Migratory Bird Co-Management Council, which relies on consistent, high-quality harvest information to inform co-management decisions and coordinate among its member entities. A central emphasis of the grant is not just collecting data, but delivering it in usable report formats and on a schedule that supports timely decision-making by the Council, USFWS, ADFG, and the 11 Alaska Native regional partners involved in co-management.
Two core objectives drive the funded work. First, ADFG will provide coordination and hands-on support for the field survey projects operating across subsistence-eligible parts of Alaska. That includes technical assistance, training, and quality control functions such as reviewing incoming data so that separate local survey efforts produce consistent, reliable information. Second, the agreement aims to ensure the Council receives harvest results that are high quality, accurate, and delivered on time, with reporting that is directly usable by the Council and its member organizations. In practice, this is about improving the operational backbone of harvest monitoring: supporting field staff and local projects, standardizing methods, and turning raw field data into dependable summaries and reports.
USFWS justifies the single-source approach on continuity grounds. The work supported by this agreement is described as a continuation of an activity already being funded, and the agency states that opening it to competition would risk disrupting or delaying a program that depends on consistent methods and institutional knowledge. The initial funding focus is specifically to continue ongoing field harvest monitoring surveys on St. Lawrence Island, Alaska. The notice also highlights why ADFG is viewed as uniquely positioned to do this work efficiently: the Division of Subsistence brings deep experience with Alaska subsistence harvest monitoring techniques, familiarity with prior monitoring efforts, and alignment with the current survey emphasis, including loon harvest.
Funding details show an estimated total funding amount of $1,008,378, with an award ceiling matching that amount and an award floor of $40,000. The posting date was June 7, 2012, with a closing date of June 22, 2012 (though the announcement also notes the award would be made shortly after the notice). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. Eligible applicants are limited to state governments, which aligns with the intended recipient (ADFG). For access issues or administrative questions, the listed federal contact is Rich Primmer, Agreement Officer, USFWS, at 907-786-3611 or richprimmer@fws.gov.
