Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2016 Water Conservation Field Services Program opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BOR GP 16 0004) was a discretionary grant competition offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation (DOI-BOR), specifically through the Great Plains Regional Office and the Nebraska-Kansas Area Office (NKAO). The purpose of the solicitation was to request proposals for activities that support Reclamation's Water Conservation Field Services Program during the federal fiscal year 2016 performance window, covering October 1, 2015 through September 30, 2016. In practical terms, the program was aimed at helping advance water conservation work in the region served by the Nebraska-Kansas Area Office, funding projects or services that align with Reclamation's water conservation goals and on-the-ground field support needs.
The opportunity was categorized as a grant (Funding Instrument Type: Grant) and fell under the Natural Resources funding activity category. It was associated with CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) number 15.530, which corresponds to Bureau of Reclamation water-related assistance programs. While the eligible applicant category is listed broadly as "Others," the notice indicates that prospective applicants needed to consult the additional eligibility language in the full announcement for clarification on who specifically qualified. That typically means eligibility could extend beyond only state or local governments and may include entities such as tribes, districts, universities, nonprofits, or other organizations depending on the program rules, but the definitive criteria would be in the announcement's eligibility section.
In terms of funding scale and competitiveness, the award ceiling was listed as $100,000 per award, and Reclamation expected to make approximately 2 awards under this particular FY 2016 announcement. That suggests a relatively small, targeted competition intended to fund a limited number of well-aligned projects rather than a large portfolio of grants. Key dates show the opportunity was created and posted on December 30, 2015, and proposals were due by March 1, 2016 (both the original and current closing date were the same), giving applicants roughly two months to prepare submissions.
Overall, this was a time-limited FY 2016 funding opportunity from Reclamation's Great Plains Region/NKAO designed to support specific water conservation field service activities, offering up to $100,000 per award with an anticipated total of two awards, and requiring submission by March 1, 2016 for work carried out during the FY 2016 period.
