Opportunity Summary:

The Conservation of Non game Species opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00316) was a discretionary grant notice posted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Department of the Interior) on July 16, 2014. It was issued as a Notice of Intent to make a single-source award to the Wyoming Game and Fish Department, rather than a broadly competed funding opportunity. The stated basis for limiting the award to a single recipient was DOI policy 505 DM 2.14, specifically the provisions covering a continuation of ongoing work and the recipient's unique qualifications to carry it out.

The core purpose of the grant was to support continued inventorying and monitoring of non-game species in Wyoming, with a strong emphasis on species already identified in the State Wildlife Action Plan as species of concern. In practical terms, that means maintaining and expanding on existing survey and monitoring efforts for wildlife that are not typically managed as game species but still require conservation attention, especially where population status, distribution, and threats need to be tracked over time. The work described is programmatic and ongoing in nature, focused on building reliable information that can be used for conservation planning and for coordinating actions among state and federal partners.

Reporting and coordination were a formal part of the agreement. The recipient was expected to continue annual reporting in the same manner as prior years, including providing updates during semi-annual meetings involving the State of Wyoming, the Wyoming Game and Fish Department, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service related to the Endangered Species Act (ESA). In addition, the grant anticipated an annual Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) report, which functions as a written record of accomplishments, progress, and any notable findings from the monitoring and inventory work.

From a funding and administrative standpoint, the opportunity fell under CFDA 15.608 (Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance). The notice listed an estimated total funding amount of $50,000, with an award floor of $1,000 and an award ceiling of $250,000. The expected number of awards was five, although the announcement repeatedly characterizes the action as a single-source intent to award to the Wyoming Game and Fish Department, indicating the broader program may include multiple related actions while this particular notice was directed to one recipient. No cost sharing or matching requirement was indicated. The posting closed quickly, with an original and current closing date of July 23, 2014, and it was later archived on August 16, 2014.

The eligible applicant category was effectively constrained by the single-source structure described in the eligibility notes, which again specified that the intended recipient was the Wyoming Game and Fish Department under the continuation and unique qualifications justifications. For technical questions or access issues related to the announcement, the contact listed was Mark Sattelberg, Project Officer, reachable by phone at 307-772-2374 ext. 234 or by email at marksattelberg@fws.gov.
