Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Bat Surveys (Roosts/Guzzlers), MCB Camp Pendleton, CA" (Funding Opportunity Number N62473 13 R ROOST), was a discretionary federal funding announcement issued by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) under the Natural Resources activity category. It was structured as a Cooperative Agreement, meaning the agency anticipated substantial involvement or coordination with the recipient during the project rather than a hands-off, standard grant arrangement. The overall goal was straightforward but highly specific: plan, design, and carry out scientifically accepted bat survey work on Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton in San Diego County, California, with an emphasis on detecting and identifying bat species that either roost communally or make use of wildlife guzzlers located on the installation.
The project focus centered on two common bat-use settings on military lands in southern California. First, communal roosts, which can include natural sites (like caves, rock crevices, and tree hollows) as well as built structures (such as bridges, culverts, abandoned buildings, or other infrastructure). Second, wildlife guzzlers, which are artificial water collection or storage features installed to provide reliable water sources for wildlife. Because bats often forage and drink at predictable water points, guzzlers can serve as high-value survey locations for documenting presence, activity, and potentially species composition. The announcement called for methods that are scientifically accepted, signaling that applicants were expected to use standard wildlife survey approaches suitable for bat detection and identification (for example, properly designed acoustic monitoring and/or other field-validated techniques appropriate for roost and water-source monitoring), and to apply them in a way that produces defensible data for natural resource management decisions on the base.
Funding was modest and tightly capped, with an estimated total funding amount of $20,175 and an award ceiling of $20,175, suggesting a single, targeted field effort rather than a large multi-year research program. NAVFAC expected to make one award. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to contribute their own funds as a condition of eligibility. The opportunity was associated with CFDA 12.300, Basic and Applied Scientific Research, which indicates the work was considered part of the federal portfolio supporting applied science and data collection relevant to management needs.
Eligibility was limited to three applicant categories: public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations holding 501(c)(3) status (excluding universities where applicable). In practice, that means the competition was aimed at universities, research groups, and qualified conservation or scientific nonprofits capable of conducting specialized bat survey work and producing credible technical deliverables.
Key dates show this was a short-fuse solicitation from 2013. It was posted on March 30, 2013, with a listed proposal due date of 4:00 PM local time on April 29, 2013. The archive date was May 29, 2013, indicating the listing was later closed and stored as a historical opportunity. For applicants at the time, the tight timeline implied they needed existing capacity, experienced field staff, and the ability to mobilize quickly for survey planning, logistics, access coordination, and any required compliance steps typical of work on an active military installation.
For questions or difficulties accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Linda Protocollo, Contract Specialist and Cooperative Agreement Administrator, reachable by phone at 619-532-1159.
