Opportunity Summary:
The Cooperative Agreement for Terrestrial Survey and Monitoring at Eglin AFB (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00061) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) notice of intent to make a single-source award, not a competitive grant solicitation. In practical terms, it is not a request for applications and there is no full announcement associated with the posting. The agency states that the decision not to compete the award is consistent with Departmental policy (referenced as 505 DM 2.14, B.(2)) and is within the agency's discretion. Although the listing shows "Eligible Applicants: Unrestricted," the accompanying eligibility language makes clear that outside parties are not being invited to apply because the award is intended for a specific recipient.
The intended recipient is Virginia Tech, which FWS plans to fund through a cooperative agreement to carry out terrestrial and biological monitoring at Eglin Air Force Base (Eglin AFB). The work is described as a continuation of ongoing monitoring efforts previously funded directly by Eglin AFB, with the funding now flowing through FWS via a reimbursable agreement with the U.S. Air Force. The purpose, therefore, is continuity of established survey and monitoring activities on the installation, supporting the management of natural resources and species conservation priorities associated with Eglin AFB.
The award is being executed under the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) program. CESUs are structured partnerships that link federal agencies with universities and other research organizations to provide research, technical assistance, and education. Using the CESU mechanism signals that the project is expected to be collaborative and science-driven, with active involvement from the federal partner, which is typical for a cooperative agreement as opposed to a standard grant.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is categorized as Discretionary, with the funding instrument type listed as a Cooperative Agreement. The activity category is described as Education, Science and Technology, and other Research and Development, and it is associated with CFDA 15.657 (Endangered Species Conservation - Recovery Implementation Funds). The posting indicates no cost sharing or matching requirement. The estimated total funding amount is $484,000, while the listed award ceiling and floor are both shown as $0, which commonly occurs in notices that are not structured as open competitions with defined minimums and maximums for applicants.
Key dates in the posting include a posted and creation date of January 15, 2014, with an original and current closing date of January 20, 2014, and an archive date of January 15, 2015. Because this is a notice of intent rather than an open call, the closing date functions more as an administrative marker for the listing rather than a deadline for proposal submissions.
For further information, the notice directs the public to Grants.gov and provides an agency contact: Artela Jacobs at FWS (404-679-7197, ArtelaJacobs@fws.gov) for assistance, particularly if there are issues accessing documentation electronically.
