Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "Creation of a Tracking Site for Compliance Monitoring" (Funding Opportunity Number F15AS00353) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service discretionary grant action in the environmental program area. The stated purpose is straightforward: to create an internal tracking site that supports compliance monitoring, meaning a system intended for internal use to track, manage, and document compliance-related information and activities.
This opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, which typically signals that the agency expects to remain substantially involved in the work during the period of performance (for example, by coordinating requirements, reviewing deliverables, or collaborating on implementation decisions). The total anticipated funding is fixed at $30,000, and both the award floor and ceiling are also set at $30,000, indicating the agency planned a single award at a specific amount rather than a range of possible award sizes. Only one award was expected.
Although the listing shows "Eligible Applicants: Unrestricted," the announcement language makes clear that this posting is not open for competition. It is explicitly a Notice of Intent to Award a Single Source, with repeated statements that no competition is expected and that applicants should not apply. In practice, that means the agency had already identified the intended recipient and posted the notice primarily for transparency and public record rather than to solicit proposals from the general public.
The opportunity was posted on July 17, 2015, with an original and current closing date of July 24, 2015, and it was archived on July 25, 2015. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient was not expected to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award. The CFDA program reference included is 15.656, described as Habitat Enhancement, Restoration and Improvement, and the posting also flags Recovery Act funds, reflecting how the funding was categorized in federal systems even though the project itself is described narrowly as an internal compliance-tracking site.
For parties who needed access assistance with the full announcement, the contact listed is Anne Robb at the Fish and Wildlife Service, reachable by phone at 760-431-9440 or by email at annerobb@fws.gov.
