Opportunity Summary:
Funding Opportunity Number F12AS00063 (often referenced in the notice as F12AS0063) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service discretionary grant action under CFDA 15.608, Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance. The notice explains that the Service intends to make a single, non-competitive (single source) award to the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies, and that this decision is being made under Department of the Interior policy 505 DM 2.14, specifically the provision that allows an award based on an unsolicited proposal.
A key point in this listing is that it is not an open solicitation and not a request for applications. Instead, it is essentially a public notice documenting the agency’s intent to fund one specific recipient because the underlying project concept came in as an unsolicited assistance application. In federal grants terms, an unsolicited proposal is one that originates with the applicant rather than the government, and is characterized here as a unique or innovative idea, method, or approach that is not already covered by an existing or planned contract or assistance award. The agency states that the proposed work is considered advantageous to program objectives, which is the justification for not running a competition.
The award parameters are very specific and fixed: the expected number of awards is one, with estimated total funding of $30,000. The award floor and ceiling are both listed as $30,000, which signals that the planned grant amount is set at that level rather than being a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated, meaning the recipient is not required to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award (at least as reflected in the announcement metadata).
Although the Funding Activity Category is labeled "Energy," the CFDA program and the narrative description point to fish and wildlife management assistance as the core programmatic authority. The posting date and creation date are February 6, 2012. The original and current closing date are both February 13, 2012, and the archive date is March 14, 2012. In practice, for notices like this that are not requests for applications, the "closing date" functions more like an administrative window for the public notice period rather than a deadline for prospective applicants, since no outside applications are being sought.
Eligibility is effectively restricted by the structure of the award. The system field "Eligible Applicants" is shown as "Others (see text field...)," but the accompanying eligibility statement clarifies that the opportunity is not competitive and is tied to the unsolicited proposal determination under 505 DM 2.14. In other words, this notice does not present an opportunity for new applicants to apply; it documents a justified intent to award to a named organization based on an unsolicited submission that the agency wants to support.
For questions or for help accessing the announcement, the listed agency contact is Stephanie Long, Administrative Officer, reachable by phone at 703-358-1749, with an email link provided in the original posting.
