Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "Butterfly Survey Palos Verdes Naval Housing Area, Los Angeles, CA" (Funding Opportunity Number N62473 11 R BTRFLY) is a discretionary federal grant competition administered by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command. It is offered as a Cooperative Agreement, meaning the Navy expects to have substantial involvement with the recipient during the project rather than simply issuing a pass-through grant. The work falls under the Natural Resources activity category and is tied to CFDA 12.300, Basic and Applied Scientific Research. The central purpose is straightforward: conduct a field survey of the federally endangered Palos Verdes blue butterfly (Glaucopsyche lygdamus paloverdesensis) at the Palos Verdes Naval Housing Area and deliver a written report to the Navy summarizing the survey results.
Funding is relatively small and targeted, with an estimated total funding amount of $13,450 and an award ceiling of $13,450, indicating the government anticipated making a single award for the full amount. The announcement projected one expected award and explicitly stated that there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so applicants were not required to provide non-federal funds or in-kind contributions as a condition of eligibility. The opportunity was posted and created on December 18, 2010, with proposals due by 4:00 PM Pacific Time on Tuesday, January 18, 2011. The archive date was February 17, 2011, reflecting that it was a time-limited solicitation with a fixed closing window.
Eligibility was limited to organizations with research or conservation capacity in relevant fields. Eligible applicants included private institutions of higher education, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations holding 501(c)(3) status with the IRS (excluding universities when categorized separately). In practical terms, the competition was designed for academic labs, university-affiliated research groups, and conservation or scientific nonprofits capable of conducting species surveys and producing credible documentation suitable for agency use. Because the species is federally listed as endangered, applicants would typically be expected to demonstrate experience with sensitive species monitoring, appropriate field methods, and compliance awareness for protected-species work on or near federal property.
Deliverables centered on producing a survey and a report for the Navy. While the notice does not spell out methodology, the intent implies on-the-ground monitoring to assess presence, distribution, and/or relative abundance of the Palos Verdes blue butterfly within the Palos Verdes Naval Housing Area, followed by a formal report that the Navy can use for natural resources management and compliance purposes. Cooperative Agreement structure also suggests the Navy may coordinate on timing, access, and reporting expectations during performance.
For technical or administrative issues 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.
