Opportunity Summary:
California Least Tern and Western Snowy Plover Monitoring at Naval Base Coronado, California is a U.S. Navy funding opportunity focused on natural resource monitoring for two protected coastal bird species: the California least tern (CLT) and the western snowy plover (WSP). The Navy is seeking a partner to carry out field monitoring on Navy owned and leased lands associated with Naval Base Coronado and to deliver a formal report describing nesting activity and nesting success for these species. In practical terms, the work centers on documenting where and when birds attempt to nest, how many nests are established, and how successful those nests are through the breeding season, producing information the Navy can use for environmental compliance and stewardship on its coastal properties.
The opportunity was offered as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement, meaning the recipient would not simply deliver a product at arm's length as in a standard contract, but would be expected to work in coordination with the Navy during performance. The issuing organization is the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC). The funding activity category is Natural Resources, and the CFDA listing referenced is 12.300 (Basic and Applied Scientific Research), which signals that the project is framed as applied monitoring and reporting that supports management decisions and compliance needs.
Only one award was anticipated under this announcement, with an award ceiling of $358,469. The opportunity did not require cost sharing or matching funds, so applicants were not expected to contribute non-federal dollars as a condition of eligibility. Eligible applicants included a broad range of research and conservation capable organizations: private institutions of higher education, public and state controlled institutions of higher education, nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status, and also nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education). This eligibility mix suggests the Navy was open to universities, research groups, and conservation organizations that can reliably conduct sensitive species monitoring in a coastal military installation context.
Timing information indicates this was a time-limited solicitation posted on December 5, 2007, created the same day, with an original and current closing date of December 19, 2007, and an archive date of January 18, 2008. Those dates imply a short application window, typical of some mission-driven monitoring needs where the field season and reporting timelines are tied to the breeding season and regulatory schedules.
For applicants or interested parties who had trouble accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Joseph Brown, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at (619) 532-1266, identified as the NAVFAC Southwest point of contact. Overall, the core deliverable is a Navy-ready report summarizing nesting activity and success of CLT and WSP on Navy properties at or associated with Naval Base Coronado, supported by coordinated field monitoring conducted under a cooperative agreement framework.
