Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Design and Implementation of Flat Tailed Horned Lizard (FTHL) Surveys at MCAS Yuma, AZ" is a small, targeted federal funding call focused on natural resources monitoring at Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Yuma in Arizona. The purpose is to support the design and on-the-ground implementation of surveys for the Flat Tailed Horned Lizard (FTHL), using established, scientifically accepted field methods laid out in the Flat Tailed Horned Lizard Monitoring Protocol published by the FTHL Interagency Coordinating Committee (ICC) in 2008. In practical terms, the project is meant to generate defensible biological survey data that can inform how the installation understands, manages, and documents the species on or near military lands.
This opportunity was issued by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) and is structured as a cooperative agreement rather than a standard contract or grant. A cooperative agreement typically indicates that the federal agency expects to have meaningful involvement during the project, such as coordinating on survey design details, access and scheduling on the installation, alignment with the ICC protocol, and review of deliverables. The funding instrument also signals that the work is not just a one-off purchase of services, but a collaborative effort where the award recipient and the government coordinate closely to ensure the monitoring meets technical and management needs.
The activity category is Natural Resources, and the CFDA listing included is 12.300, Basic and Applied Scientific Research. The opportunity anticipated a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $35,000 and an award ceiling of $35,000. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds or in-kind match as a condition of eligibility or competitiveness, at least as stated in the opportunity summary.
Eligibility was limited to academic and nonprofit organizations: private institutions of higher education, public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding higher education institutions in that category). This eligibility set points to the agency seeking applicants with research capacity, ecological field expertise, and the ability to follow standardized monitoring protocols, rather than general commercial providers.
Timing for the solicitation was short and specific. The opportunity was posted and created on September 5, 2009, with an original and current closing date of September 16, 2009, and an archive date of October 16, 2009. That timeline suggests NAVFAC was aiming to move quickly, likely aligning survey work with seasonal field windows, installation planning cycles, or compliance and management deadlines.
The core technical expectation is that survey design and implementation must follow the FTHL ICC 2008 Monitoring Protocol, which implies standardized procedures for detecting and documenting the species, defining survey areas, and collecting repeatable data suitable for long-term monitoring and interagency comparison. Although the summary does not list specific deliverables, projects of this type typically involve developing a survey plan tailored to the installation, conducting field surveys using protocol-compliant methods, recording location and observation data in a consistent format, and producing a final report that documents methods, effort, results, and any management-relevant interpretation. Because the setting is MCAS Yuma, the recipient would also need to be prepared to coordinate access requirements and work within military installation constraints while maintaining scientific rigor.
The listed point of contact for assistance was Linda Protocollo, Contract Specialist and Cooperative Agreement Administrator, reachable by phone at 619-532-1159, specifically for difficulties accessing the full announcement electronically.

Why does the opportunity emphasize using the ICC 2008 Monitoring Protocol?
The ICC protocol implies standardized procedures for detecting and documenting the species, defining survey areas, and collecting repeatable data. Using a common protocol supports consistency, scientific defensibility, and the ability to compare monitoring results over time and across entities.
What kinds of outputs or deliverables should applicants expect?
The summary does not list specific deliverables. However, based on the described scope, this type of project typically involves a protocol-aligned survey plan tailored to the installation, field surveys conducted using compliant methods, consistent recording of location and observation data, and a final report documenting methods, effort, and results. Coordination with the government on deliverables would be expected under a cooperative agreement structure.
What does "defensible" survey data mean in this context?
It refers to biological survey data collected using scientifically accepted, standardized methods (here, the ICC 2008 protocol) so the results can credibly inform management and documentation decisions for the species on or near MCAS Yuma.
What special considerations apply because the work is on a military installation?
The summary indicates the recipient should be prepared to coordinate access requirements and work within military installation constraints (such as scheduling and access coordination) while maintaining scientific rigor and protocol compliance.
When was the opportunity posted and when did it close?
