Opportunity Summary:
The "California Vole Surveys NWS China Lake" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number N62473 14 2 0017) is a discretionary, environment-focused cooperative agreement offered by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command. The project is aimed at improving biological knowledge on Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake (NAWS CL) by conducting field surveys for California voles and then using collected specimens for genetic analysis. The central purpose is to determine which California vole subspecies are present on the station, which supports better-informed natural resource management and compliance planning on federal lands.
Work under the award is expected to involve acquiring vole specimens during surveys and applying genetic methods to identify subspecies. The announcement highlights that surveys may take place across a set of specific habitats and spring-associated areas on or near the installation, including Haiwee Springs, Mountain Springs Canyon, the Sewage Ponds, Paxton Ranch, Birchum Springs, Mill Springs, Tennessee Springs, Old House Springs, and New House Springs. These sites suggest an emphasis on riparian or water-adjacent areas where small mammal populations may concentrate, and where subspecies distribution can vary due to localized habitat conditions. The goal is not just presence/absence, but taxonomic clarity at the subspecies level, which is often difficult to confirm without genetics because closely related subspecies can be hard to distinguish by appearance alone.
The opportunity anticipated a single award with an estimated total funding amount of $10,735, with an award ceiling of $10,735 and no stated award floor. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds to be competitive or eligible. The program is associated with CFDA 12.300, Basic and Applied Scientific Research, which aligns with the project’s emphasis on field collection paired with laboratory genetic work.
Eligibility is described as unrestricted, open to any type of entity as allowed by the solicitation, with the key condition that applicants must qualify under the Department of Defense Grant and Agreement Regulations (DoDGARS) Parts 32, 33, and 34. In practical terms, that typically means a wide range of potential cooperators may apply (for example, universities, nonprofits, private research organizations, or other qualified entities), provided they meet the applicable federal assistance requirements referenced in those regulations and any additional eligibility details contained in the full announcement.
Key dates for the posting show it was posted and created on August 7, 2014, with an original and current closing date of September 6, 2014, and an archive date of October 6, 2014. The designated point of contact for access issues with the full announcement was Reagan Pablo, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 619.532.2090, with the primary email listed in the original notice (not fully included in the excerpt).
