Opportunity Summary:
The FY 2016 Water Conservation Field Services Program opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number BOR GP 16 0006) is a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation (DOI-BOR), specifically through Reclamation's Great Plains Region, Wyoming Area Office. It is part of Reclamation's Water Conservation Field Services Program and is aimed at supporting practical, on-the-ground activities that advance water conservation objectives during the federal fiscal year 2016 period, which runs from October 1, 2015 through September 30, 2016. The funding activity category is Natural Resources, and the opportunity is associated with CFDA 15.530, a federal assistance listing commonly tied to Reclamation water management and conservation support.
Applicants were invited to submit proposals for projects or activities that align with the goals of the Water Conservation Field Services Program, with the Bureau indicating it expected to make up to four awards. Individual awards were capped at an award ceiling of $100,000, suggesting the program was intended to fund targeted efforts rather than large capital projects. While the listing does not spell out the exact project types in the excerpt provided, the framing indicates a focus on conservation-oriented field services work that Reclamation can support through grants, typically involving planning, technical assistance, implementation support, or other activities that help conserve water and improve water use efficiency in Reclamation-related or Reclamation-influenced service areas.
Eligibility is noted as "Others," with clarification referenced in an additional eligibility text field (not included in the provided data). In practice, this label usually means eligibility extends beyond a single standard category and may include combinations of entities such as local or regional water organizations, irrigation or water conservation districts, tribes, universities, nonprofit organizations, or other non-federal partners, depending on the detailed eligibility language in the full announcement. The key point is that interested parties needed to consult the full eligibility section to confirm they qualified under the Bureau's requirements for this particular Wyoming Area Office solicitation.
The announcement was created and posted on December 30, 2015, and the application deadline was March 1, 2016 (with no change between the original and current closing dates). Because the program is time-bounded to FY 2016, proposals were expected to be ready for execution within that federal fiscal year window and to demonstrate how the proposed work would produce measurable conservation benefits or otherwise support Reclamation's field services conservation mission in the Great Plains Region and Wyoming Area Office area of responsibility.
