Opportunity Summary:
The Fish and Wildlife Service posted a discretionary funding notice identified as Funding Opportunity Number F13AS00340, titled "Cooperative." It falls under the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity category and would be issued as a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant. The listing is tied to CFDA 15.669, Cooperative Landscape Conservation, and carries an estimated total funding amount of $220,291. The award ceiling and floor are both $220,291, which indicates the agency anticipated a single award at a fixed amount rather than a range of possible award sizes.
This notice is explicitly a notice of intent to make a single-source award and is not a competitive funding opportunity. There is no full announcement associated with it, and the agency states plainly that it is not requesting proposals or applications from the public. The determination not to compete is described as being consistent with Departmental policy cited as 505 DM 2.14(B)(2), and the decision is within the agency's discretion. Although the eligibility field is shown as "unrestricted" in the general data, the text clarifies that the opportunity is not open for competition, so the practical outcome is that only the intended recipient would be considered.
The funding mechanism is being used under the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) program. CESUs are collaborative partnerships that connect federal agencies with universities and other organizations to deliver research, technical assistance, and education. In practical terms, this framing signals that the anticipated work likely involves applied research or technical support aligned with landscape-scale conservation priorities, carried out through an established CESU network partner under a cooperative agreement structure, where substantial federal involvement during the project period is more typical than in many standard grants.
Key administrative dates show the notice was posted and created on September 4, 2013, with an original and current closing date of September 9, 2013. The short window is consistent with a single-source intent notice rather than an open competition. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement listed.
For reference or administrative questions, the notice directs people to Grants.gov for additional information and provides a point of contact: Janice Mcneill, Contract Specialist, reachable at 404-679-4056 or janicemcneill@fws.gov.
