Opportunity Summary:
The Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number R14AS00037) is a discretionary cooperative agreement notice issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, under CFDA 15.517 (Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act). It relates to environmental and natural resources work and is titled "Rogue River Basin Habitat Restoration Program NonConstruction." The announcement was posted on April 29, 2014 (created April 28, 2014) and later archived on May 13, 2014.
This notice is not an open solicitation and it is not asking the public to submit applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice that the Bureau of Reclamation intended to fund specific project activities without full and open competition. In practical terms, that means the agency had already identified the project scope and likely the intended recipient(s), and the posting was primarily to meet transparency and competition-related requirements by documenting why the award would be made on a noncompetitive basis.
The planned award structure is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates the Bureau expected to have substantial involvement during the project period, such as collaborating on technical approach, coordinating with partners, reviewing deliverables, or participating in project oversight. The opportunity anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $668,579. The award floor and ceiling are both listed as $668,579, signaling the Bureau anticipated one specific award amount rather than a range of possible awards. No cost sharing or matching was required, so the recipient would not be expected to provide a financial match as a condition of receiving the federal funds.
Eligibility was limited to nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, excluding institutions of higher education. That eligibility profile aligns with the kind of watershed, habitat, and fisheries restoration partnership work often carried out by conservation organizations and local restoration groups, particularly when the focus is on nonconstruction activities.
The project description, "Rogue River Basin Habitat Restoration Program NonConstruction," indicates the funded work was intended to support habitat restoration program efforts in the Rogue River Basin, while specifically excluding construction. Nonconstruction work in habitat restoration programs commonly includes planning and design, watershed and habitat assessments, monitoring and evaluation, data collection and analysis, landowner and stakeholder coordination, permitting support (where applicable), outreach, program administration, and development of restoration prioritization tools. While the announcement text provided does not list specific tasks or deliverables, the title clearly signals that the funding was meant to advance restoration outcomes through preparatory, technical, and coordination activities rather than on-the-ground construction or major capital improvements.
