Opportunity Summary:
The California Landscape Conservation Cooperative opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F13AS00292) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) under CFDA 15.669, Cooperative Landscape Conservation. The purpose of the funding is to support development of a spatially explicit climate adaptation framework focused on subregions of the San Francisco Bay. In practical terms, the project is meant to translate climate adaptation concepts into mapped, location-specific guidance that resource managers can use to evaluate and choose adaptation actions at local scales across the Bay area.
The central deliverable is a framework that is both climate-focused and geographically detailed, meaning it would likely integrate spatial data layers, vulnerability considerations, and adaptation options in a way that can be applied differently across distinct Bay subregions. The stated intent is to provide actionable information that helps managers determine optimal climate adaptations in specific places, rather than general, one-size-fits-all recommendations. Because the award is structured as a cooperative agreement, USFWS would typically expect to have substantial involvement during the project, such as coordinating on technical approach, data standards, milestones, and how results are packaged for management use.
This notice is not a competitive grant solicitation. USFWS explicitly states there is no application process and that the posting serves as a Notice of Intent to make a single-source award to the San Francisco Bay Joint Venture. The agency cites the basis for the sole-source decision under departmental policy (referenced as 505 DM 2.14), explaining that the intended recipient has unique qualifications, including staff with the specialized technical expertise needed to conduct the work. Although the eligibility field lists 501(c)(3) nonprofits (other than institutions of higher education), the single-source nature of the action means the opportunity is not open for other applicants to submit proposals.
Funding details indicate an estimated total award amount of $40,373, with an award ceiling of $40,373 and an award floor of $0. USFWS anticipated making one award. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was posted on August 1, 2013, and archived on August 14, 2013, reinforcing that it functioned as a time-limited public notice of the agency’s intent rather than an open call.
For anyone needing the full announcement or having trouble accessing it electronically, the listed point of contact is Rita Howard at the USFWS, reachable at (916) 278-9443 or via email at RitaHoward@fws.gov. The additional information link is provided through Grants.gov.
