Opportunity Summary:
The CAP Gila River Basin Native Fish Recovery and Conservation opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00143) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service discretionary funding action structured as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.615, the Cooperative Endangered Species Conservation Fund. It supports science, technology, and other research and development activities focused on recovering and conserving native fish and other aquatic species in the Gila River Basin, while also managing and reducing impacts from non-indigenous aquatic species. The program exists because Central Arizona Project (CAP) water transfers into the Gila River Basin were addressed through a series of biological opinions issued in 1994, 2001, and 2008, and this conservation program is one of the mechanisms used to meet those biological opinion commitments by proactively protecting native aquatic communities affected by water operations and associated ecological pressures.
This notice is essentially an intent to make an award to a single source without competition, using the Department of the Interior authority at 505 DM 2.14 related to unsolicited proposals and sole-source task agreements. In practical terms, that means the agency already has a specific partner in mind and is documenting the legal justification for not running a full competitive grant process. The opportunity lists state governments as the eligible applicants, and it anticipates one award total, reinforcing that it is not a broad, open competition but a targeted funding action for a particular state-level partner to carry out the needed conservation work in the basin.
Funding for the opportunity is substantial, with an estimated total of $1,690,800. The award ceiling is also listed as $1,690,800, while the award floor is $430,300, indicating the agreement could be funded at different levels depending on the final scope, work plan, or tasking. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated, so the recipient is not required to provide a non-federal match as a condition of receiving funds, which can make it easier to implement field actions, monitoring, and management work without needing additional committed partner dollars to satisfy a match threshold.
Key administrative dates show the opportunity posted on April 8, 2014, with an announcement framed as beginning April 2014 and later reflecting a current closing date of April 15, 2015. The archive date is April 8, 2016, meaning the listing was later retained for record purposes after it was no longer active. The listing also includes an additional information link directing users to Grants.gov for the full announcement details, and it provides agency contacts for questions or access issues: Margie Valenzuela (Administrative Officer) at MargieValenzuela@fws.gov, and Doug Duncan (Biologist) at 520-670-6150 x236 and dougduncan@fws.gov.
