Opportunity Summary:
The Endangered Species Conservation, Recovery Implementation Funds opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F16AS00301) is a discretionary federal grant announced by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service under CFDA 15.657. It is grounded in the legal authorities of the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. 1531 et seq.) and subsequent amendments passed in 1978 and 1982. In practical terms, this program authority supports on-the-ground actions that help conserve listed species and move them toward recovery, consistent with the purpose of the Endangered Species Act: preventing extinction and restoring species and the ecosystems they depend on.
This particular posting is structured as a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant. A cooperative agreement generally signals substantial federal involvement during the period of performance, meaning the Fish and Wildlife Service is likely to play an active role in coordinating, guiding, or partnering on the work rather than simply providing funds and receiving reports. The funding activity category is Natural Resources, aligning it with habitat and species conservation work.
The notice is also explicitly described as a "Notice of Intent to Single Source" to the Save our Bosque Task Force. That phrasing is important because it indicates the agency planned to make a non-competitive award to a specific organization, rather than running an open competition among many applicants. While an eligibility category is listed as "Nonprofits that do not have a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education," the single-source intent effectively means the agency anticipated making one award to the named entity, assuming the organization met applicable requirements and the parties could finalize an acceptable scope of work and budget.
In terms of funding size and scale, the opportunity lists an award ceiling of $117,000 and an expected number of awards of one. The posting was created on June 23, 2016, with an original closing date of July 7, 2016, suggesting a short window typical of single-source or otherwise narrowly targeted notices, where the main purpose is often to satisfy public notice requirements and document the planned award approach.
Overall, this opportunity represents a targeted, cooperative funding action under the Endangered Species Act authorities to support recovery implementation activities, with the Fish and Wildlife Service intending to directly partner with the Save our Bosque Task Force to carry out the proposed conservation work within the available budget cap.
