Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) funding action under the Endangered Species Conservation - Recovery Implementation Funds program (CFDA 15.657). Rather than being a typical competitive grant opportunity, it is explicitly a notice of intent to make a single-source award, meaning the agency has already identified the recipient it plans to fund and is not soliciting applications from other organizations. The listed funding opportunity number is F15AS00250, and the title indicates the intended recipient: Ranchers Supply, Inc.
The planned award is a cooperative agreement, which generally means FWS expects to have substantial involvement in the project compared with a standard grant. The stated purpose of the agreement is to conduct a minimum population count for the Florida panther, an endangered species whose recovery work often depends on reliable population monitoring. The activity aligns with environmental and science-related research and monitoring, and it is categorized under education, environment, and science and technology/research and development.
The intended award amount is $30,740.00, with no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity lists expected awards as 30,740 (reflecting the single planned award amount) and indicates that this is not a request for applications. In other words, despite the general "unrestricted" eligible applicant field that sometimes appears in listings, the text makes clear that the agency has decided not to compete this award. That decision is described as being based on departmental policy (505 DM 2.14, B.(2)) and within the agency's discretion, which is the standard way agencies justify a single-source or non-competitive assistance action.
Key dates show this item was posted and created on May 28, 2015, with an original and current closing date of June 3, 2015, and an archive date of June 4, 2015. Those dates function more as an administrative window for the notice rather than an application deadline, since no applications are being accepted. The listing also states there is no full announcement associated with the notice, reinforcing that the public should not expect a full solicitation package.
For reference or assistance accessing related materials through Grants.gov, the notice provides a point of contact at FWS: Kerri Heywood (404-679-4066, kerriheywood@fws.gov).
