Opportunity Summary:
The Flammulated Owl Surveys grant opportunity is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) notice of intent to make a single-source award, meaning it is not a competitive funding announcement and does not invite proposals from the public. The Service planned to issue a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.655 (Migratory Bird Monitoring, Assessment and Conservation) and the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act of 1980 (as amended). The intended recipient named in the notice is the Rocky Mountain Bird Observatory, and the agency cites the applicant's unique qualifications as the justification for not competing the award under Departmental Manual 505 DM 2, paragraph 2.14(B)(4).
The purpose of the award is to improve monitoring for the Flammulated Owl, a species described as poorly monitored with uncertain population trends and identified as a species of conservation concern by FWS and partner organizations. The core work involves designing a range-wide, grid-based survey approach using standardized survey points. The survey design is expected to align with criteria developed by the Partners in Flight Western Working Group and the Flammulated Owl Monitoring Project Design Team. Beyond design, the project also includes on-the-ground implementation of surveys in national forests in Colorado, along with providing support to partners conducting comparable surveys in other western states, with the larger goal of producing consistent data that can inform population assessments and conservation decisions across the species' range.
Administratively, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary and uses a cooperative agreement instrument, signaling that FWS anticipated substantial involvement or coordination with the recipient during project execution. The notice lists an expected single award totaling $35,000, with the award floor and ceiling both set at $35,000, and it specifies no cost sharing or matching requirement. The period of performance was planned to run from the date of award through December 31, 2012. The posting timeline indicates it was posted on May 5, 2010 (created May 4, 2010), with an original and current closing date of May 10, 2010, and it was archived on June 9, 2010.
Eligibility information in the notice indicates nonprofits (including 501(c)(3) organizations and nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status, other than institutions of higher education) were listed as eligible applicant types in the general opportunity metadata, but the narrative makes clear this particular action was intended as a directed, single-source award rather than an open competition. For questions, the notice directs inquiries to Michael Green at FWS (phone 503-231-6164, email michaelgreen@fws.gov).
