Opportunity Summary:
This listing is not a typical, open grant competition. It is a notice of intent from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) to make a single-source award, meaning the agency already plans to fund one specific recipient: the Geological Survey of Alabama. Because it is a single-source action, there is no full funding announcement, no solicitation for proposals, and no expectation that other organizations will apply. The agency states directly that the decision not to compete the award is allowed under Departmental policy (505 DM 2.14, B.(2)) and is within the agency's discretion, so the posting functions mainly as a public notice rather than an invitation to submit applications.
The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which signals that USFWS expects to be actively involved in carrying out the work rather than simply providing funds and receiving final deliverables. In practical terms, USFWS staff will participate substantially and may assist with or lead field surveys, outreach activities, data analysis, and report preparation as needed. The scope described is rooted in natural resources science, technology, and related research and development activities, and it can include hands-on operational support such as sampling and monitoring, transporting equipment, and moving personnel to field sites. This kind of arrangement is commonly used when the agency anticipates ongoing collaboration, shared decision-making, or direct federal participation in technical work.
Financially, the notice lists an estimated total funding amount of $47,000 with an expected number of awards of one. There is no stated award ceiling or floor (both are listed as $0), which typically reflects that the funding amount is being handled as a specific, predetermined action rather than a competitive range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The CFDA number tied to the opportunity is 15.669, Cooperative Landscape Conservation, aligning it with conservation-related partnership work and applied science activities that support landscape-scale planning, monitoring, and management.
From a timeline standpoint, the opportunity was posted on September 10, 2014, created the same day, and carried an original and current closing date of September 15, 2014. The archive date is September 9, 2015. Those dates matter mainly for recordkeeping because, as emphasized in the eligibility language, this is not a request for applications. Even though the system field shows "Eligible Applicants: Unrestricted," the text clarifies that the opportunity is not open for submission and is intended for a single recipient.
For anyone trying to learn more or confirm details, the notice points readers to Grants.gov for the source entry and provides a contact at USFWS: Nijua Heard (404-679-4146, NijuaHeard@fws.gov). This contact is primarily useful for access issues or questions about the notice itself, not for submitting a proposal, since the agency is not soliciting applications under this posting.
