Opportunity Summary:
The Cooperative Habitat Renovation grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00314) is a discretionary funding notice from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) focused on on-the-ground habitat work in the Mission Valley of Montana. The project goal is straightforward: implement cooperative habitat renovation efforts on FWS-managed lands to improve conditions for migratory birds and nesting grassland birds. In practical terms, this type of renovation work typically supports actions that restore, enhance, or maintain bird habitat so that breeding, nesting, and migration needs are better met on refuge or other Service lands in the area.
This announcement is not a broad, open competition. It is a Notice of Intent to make a single-source award, meaning the agency is indicating it plans to fund one specific partner rather than solicit proposals from multiple applicants. The intended recipient is Pheasants Forever, and the agency cites Department of the Interior policy (505 DM 2.14 B) as the justification for issuing the award on a noncompetitive basis. The stated reasons include that the work aligns with an unsolicited proposal, represents a continuation effort, and relies on unique qualifications. Because it is single-source, the "Eligible Applicants" field is effectively limited to this identified organization, even though it is listed under "Others" with additional eligibility clarification pointing back to the single-source intent.
The funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, which generally indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency in carrying out the project, such as collaboration on planning, technical guidance, coordination, oversight, or joint implementation. The program is tied to CFDA number 15.655, Migratory Bird Monitoring, Assessment and Conservation, which signals that the activities support broader federal objectives related to conserving migratory bird populations through habitat-focused actions and related conservation measures.
Financially, the opportunity is a small, targeted award with an estimated total funding amount of $50,000. The award floor and ceiling are both listed as $50,000, which implies a single fixed award amount rather than a range. The notice specifies there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not be required to provide matching funds as a condition of the award.
Key administrative dates show the notice was posted on July 16, 2014, with an original and current closing date of July 23, 2014, and an archive date of August 16, 2014. The short window is typical for a notice of intent to award a sole-source cooperative agreement because the agency is not running a full competitive cycle; instead, it is formally announcing its intent and documenting the basis for the noncompetitive approach.
