Opportunity Summary:
The Aquatic Nuisance Species Management Plans opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F12AS00241) is a discretionary grant program run by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under CFDA 15.662, tied to Great Lakes Restoration work. Its purpose is to support the on-the-ground implementation of State Aquatic Nuisance Species (ANS) Management Plans. These are statewide plans that must be formally transmitted by a state governor and then approved by the federal Aquatic Nuisance Species Task Force. The funding is meant to move those approved plans from policy to action, backing coordinated prevention, control, containment, monitoring, outreach, and related management measures that reduce the risks and impacts of invasive or otherwise harmful aquatic species.
This notice is not a competitive solicitation and does not have a standard application process. Instead, it functions as a notice of intent to make single-source awards under Interior Department justification 505 DM 2.14B(1) and (4). The announcement identifies the specific intended recipients: the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, Division of Fish and Wildlife; the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality; the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources; the Ohio Department of Natural Resources; and the Wisconsin Bureau of Watershed Management. In other words, the opportunity is essentially a formal public notice that these particular state agencies will receive grant funding to carry out work aligned with their already-approved state ANS management plans.
Financially, the announcement lists an estimated total funding amount of $500,000 and anticipates five awards, with no cost-sharing or matching requirement. It also provides an award ceiling of $951,092 and an award floor of $900,000, which are unusually high relative to the total funding figure shown; that mismatch suggests the posted financial fields may not be fully consistent or may reflect template or system-entry values rather than the final distribution. The grant instrument type is listed as a grant, and the activity category is Natural Resources, consistent with invasive species management and Great Lakes restoration priorities.
In terms of timing and status, the opportunity was posted on June 21, 2012, created the same day, and archived on June 29, 2012. Both the original and current closing dates are listed as not applicable, which fits the single-source, no-application structure. For access issues or questions about the announcement, the listed contact is Matt Curtis at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (612-713-5144, MattCurtis@fws.gov).
