Opportunity Summary:
The "California Least Tern Study at Naval Weapons Station Seal Beach, California" funding opportunity was a Navy-issued cooperative agreement focused on natural resource monitoring and applied research for the California Least Tern (Sternula antillarum browni). The work described centers on tracking and studying a breeding colony located within Naval Weapons Station (NWS) Seal Beach and the adjacent Seal Beach National Wildlife Refuge. In practical terms, the project is about collecting field data during the nesting season and producing research and monitoring results that help guide management and protection of this federally listed coastal seabird at an active military installation and nearby refuge lands.
This opportunity was offered by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) under a discretionary funding category, with the selected recipient working collaboratively with the Navy through a cooperative agreement rather than a standard procurement contract. A cooperative agreement format typically signals that the agency expects to be substantially involved in the project, such as coordinating access to restricted areas, aligning survey protocols with installation requirements, reviewing deliverables, and integrating findings into ongoing environmental compliance and stewardship efforts. The funding activity category was listed as Natural Resources, and the CFDA number provided was 12.300, labeled "Basic and Applied Scientific Research," which matches the monitoring-and-research nature of the effort.
The government indicated it expected to make a single award, with an award ceiling of $9,387. No cost sharing or matching requirement was identified, meaning applicants were not required to contribute additional non-federal funds as a condition of eligibility. Eligible applicants included nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education) as well as public/state-controlled universities and private universities. This mix of eligible entities suggests the Navy anticipated proposals from conservation organizations, biological consulting groups operating as nonprofits, and academic research teams capable of conducting standardized seabird monitoring and reporting results in a form useful to installation natural resource managers.
Timing-wise, the notice was posted January 8, 2008, with an original closing date of January 24, 2008, later extended to a current closing date of January 31, 2008. The opportunity was archived February 23, 2008. These dates indicate a short application window typical of smaller, targeted natural resource efforts where the agency may be trying to align work quickly with the upcoming breeding season and field access planning.
For applicants needing assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Joseph Brown, Contract Specialist and Cooperative Agreement Administrator, reachable by phone at (619) 532-1266. The announcement title and description make clear that the central deliverable would be credible monitoring and research outputs regarding breeding activity at NWS Seal Beach and the Seal Beach National Wildlife Refuge, supporting conservation management of the California Least Tern in a sensitive coastal habitat with both wildlife and operational considerations.
