Opportunity Summary:
The Ducks Unlimited Publication grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F12AS00164) was a discretionary funding action offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the natural resources category. It was structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the agency anticipated a more involved partnership arrangement than a standard grant, with the recipient carrying out the work while coordinating with the federal agency as needed. The purpose of the award was narrowly defined: to provide funding assistance specifically to help cover the costs associated with publishing a conservation planning report. In other words, the project focus was on getting an already-developed or in-progress conservation planning product finalized and distributed in published form, rather than funding broad on-the-ground habitat work or a large multi-part program.
This was a sole-source opportunity, not a competitive solicitation. The eligibility was limited to a single identified applicant, Ducks Unlimited, Inc., and the posting explicitly indicates that the application had already been received and that the action was being handled without competition. As a result, there was no traditional open application window, and both the original and current closing dates were listed as "Single source without competition. Application received." The opportunity was posted on May 11, 2012, and archived shortly after, on May 18, 2012, reflecting that it was essentially an administrative posting tied to a pre-identified recipient and project need.
The funding level was fixed and modest, consistent with a publication cost support award rather than a large implementation project. The estimated total funding was $11,000, and both the award ceiling and floor were also set at $11,000, signaling the agency intended to make one award at that exact amount. Only one award was expected. No cost sharing or matching requirement applied, so the recipient was not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award. The opportunity was associated with CFDA number 15.659, National Wildlife Refuge Fund, linking the funding to the broader federal assistance framework supporting refuge-related conservation purposes.
For those seeking additional official details at the time, the announcement directed users to Grants.gov and provided a point of contact at the Fish and Wildlife Service: Vicki Orr, reachable by phone at 530-667-8310 or by email at vickiorr@fws.gov.
