Opportunity Summary:
The "Biological Surveys" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00057) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service financial assistance action being issued as a notice of intent to make a single-source award, rather than a standard, open grant competition. In practical terms, this means there is no full funding announcement to respond to and the agency is not inviting or accepting competitive proposals from the public. The agency explicitly states that this notice is not a request for applications, and that the decision not to compete the award is grounded in Department of the Interior policy (505 DM 2.14, B.(4)) and falls within the agency's discretion.
The planned award will be made through the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) network and will use a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. CESUs are structured partnerships designed to connect federal agencies with universities, nonprofit organizations, and other partners to deliver research, technical assistance, and education that support resource management. While the eligibility field is listed as "unrestricted" in the general data, the notice makes clear that this is not an open opportunity; the single-source approach effectively limits participation to the intended recipient identified through the CESU mechanism.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary and falls under the "Science and Technology and other Research and Development" activity area, with the CFDA program number 15.608 (Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance). The Fish and Wildlife Service anticipates making one award with an estimated total funding amount of $49,180. The award ceiling is also $49,180, and the award floor is listed as $0, indicating the maximum intended federal amount is fixed at the stated ceiling for this action. No cost sharing or matching requirement is expected.
Key dates associated with the notice show it was posted and created on January 16, 2014, with an original and current closing date of January 22, 2014. Because this is a non-competitive, single-source notice rather than a solicitation, that closing date functions more as an administrative endpoint for the notice posting than as a deadline for submitting proposals.
For reference or documentation, the notice points users to Grants.gov for the associated listing, and provides a contact for access issues or questions: Cara Collins at (404) 679-4064 or via email at CaraCollins@fws.gov.
