Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "Ecosystem Restoration on Desecheo NWR" (Funding Opportunity Number F16AS00065) is a U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service (DOI-FWS) discretionary financial assistance action focused on science and technology and related research and development. It is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the Fish and Wildlife Service expects to be actively involved in carrying out the work rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. That involvement is described as substantial, specifically through providing technical expertise and access to facilities and personnel to support the project’s implementation.
This notice is not a standard open competition. It is explicitly a Notice of Intent to Award to a single source, and there is no full funding announcement associated with it. The Service states it intends to make the award to Island Conservation, Inc., and that this opportunity is being issued under an already existing agreement between the Fish and Wildlife Service and Island Conservation. In practice, that language signals the agency has already identified the organization it plans to fund and is using this posting primarily to document the intended sole-source action rather than to solicit proposals from the broader community.
Administratively, the opportunity was created and posted on December 18, 2015, with a closing date of December 23, 2015 (both the original and current closing dates are the same). The posting lists an expected number of awards of one, consistent with the single-source intent. The award ceiling is listed as 0, which typically indicates that the public posting is not specifying a maximum funding amount in the notice itself (often because details are handled through the underlying agreement or internal award documentation rather than an open solicitation). Eligibility is shown as "unrestricted," but that is effectively overridden by the text of the notice indicating the agency’s intent to award to Island Conservation, Inc. under an existing relationship, so other applicants should not expect a meaningful opportunity to compete.
Overall, this is best understood as a formal public record that the Fish and Wildlife Service plans to fund a specific partner to perform ecosystem restoration work on Desecheo National Wildlife Refuge, with the Service playing an active technical and operational role throughout the project under a cooperative agreement framework, rather than a call for new applications.
