Opportunity Summary:
The California Landscape Conservation Cooperative grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00232) was a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service discretionary funding notice focused on cooperative landscape conservation work in California. It was issued under the Natural Resources funding activity category (CFDA 15.669, Cooperative Landscape Conservation) and was structured as a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, meaning the agency anticipated substantial federal involvement and coordination during the project.
This announcement was not an open competition. Instead, it served as a Notice of Intent to make a single-source award to the State Coastal Conservancy under the federal sole-source justification framework referenced as 505 DM 2.14. The notice states that applications were not being accepted because the intended recipient was selected based on unique qualifications and technical expertise. In practical terms, that means other potential applicants were not invited to apply, and the posting functioned mainly to document the agency's intent to fund a specific partner.
The expected total funding for the action was $157,622, with an award ceiling equal to that amount and an award floor of $0. No cost sharing or matching funds were required. Eligible applicants were limited to state governments, aligning with the intended single-source state partner.
Key administrative dates show the opportunity was posted and created on June 12, 2014, with an archive date of June 19, 2014, reflecting the brief public posting window typical of sole-source notices.
