Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "FWS - Office of the Science Advisor" (Funding Opportunity Number F12AS00199) is a discretionary federal funding notice issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. It is categorized under Science and Technology and other Research and Development, and it is associated with CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) 15.670, "Adaptive Science." The funding instrument identified for this award is a cooperative agreement, which generally means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in carrying out the funded work compared with a standard grant.
What makes this particular notice unusual is that it is not a competitive grant opportunity and does not include an application process for outside parties. Instead, it functions as a formal notice of intent to make a single-source award specifically to the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies. The announcement explicitly states that there is no application process for the Science Coordination Team and that the Fish and Wildlife Service intends to award the cooperative agreement directly to that organization. The legal/administrative justification cited is Departmental Manual guidance "505 DM 2.14" (including reference to 505 DM 2.14(B)), which is typically used by Interior bureaus to document and justify circumstances where a non-competitive, single-source financial assistance award is appropriate.
The posting date and creation date for this notice are both June 6, 2012. The original and current closing dates are June 7, 2012, reflecting that this was not meant to solicit applications over an extended period but rather to publicly document the government’s intent to proceed with a designated recipient. The estimated total funding amount is listed as $120,760. Both the award ceiling and award floor are shown as $0, which is common in entries that are primarily informational notices rather than true competitive solicitations with a range of possible award sizes. The opportunity also indicates there is no cost sharing or matching requirement.
Eligibility is effectively restricted by design. While the record lists "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," the eligibility narrative clarifies that there is no application process and the intended recipient is the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies. In practical terms, that means other organizations are not expected to apply and would not be considered because the agency is proceeding under a single-source justification.
