Opportunity Summary:
The Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F16AS00290) is a U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (DOI-FWS) grant notice issued under CFDA 15.608 in the Natural Resources funding category. It was posted on June 17, 2016, created the same day, and carried a closing date of June 22, 2016. The notice indicates an expected total of one award with an award ceiling of $89,300, using a grant as the funding instrument.
This notice is explicitly not a request for proposals (not an RFP) and is instead a notice of a single source award. In practical terms, that means the agency is not soliciting competing applications; it is announcing its intent to make one specific, non-competitive award to support a defined purpose. While the eligibility field lists applicants as "Unrestricted" in the general data, the text makes clear that the action is single-source, so it is not a broadly open competition.
The purpose of the award is to provide financial assistance to combat the spread of quagga mussels (Dreissena rostriformis bugensis) in Arizona. Quagga mussels are an aquatic invasive species that can rapidly colonize lakes and reservoirs, disrupt aquatic ecosystems, and create major operational and maintenance problems for water and power infrastructure. The notice emphasizes that these invasive species threaten public boating and angling opportunities as well as utilities and related infrastructure, particularly water delivery and electrical systems.
A central theme of the announcement is containment and public compliance, especially among watercraft owners and operators. The grant’s intent is tied to supporting aquatic invasive species containment efforts coordinated across federal and state partners, specifically referencing the Bureau of Reclamation, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the Arizona Game and Fish Department. The broader justification for the funding is that the continued spread of quagga mussels and other aquatic invasive species can generate extensive ecological damage and significant financial costs that ripple across communities, recreation, and essential services.
