Opportunity Summary:
The "Geospatial habitat assessment and data delivery project" (Funding Opportunity Number F12AS00085) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) discretionary funding action structured as a cooperative agreement focused on science, technology, and related research and development. The overall purpose is to continue ongoing geospatial habitat assessment work and to deliver habitat-related data products that support FWS programs, including efforts tied to the National Wetlands Inventory (CFDA 15.665). In practical terms, the project centers on producing and providing updated, usable geospatial information about habitats and landscapes, using modern mapping and remote sensing methods so the Service can make better-informed conservation and management decisions.
This opportunity is designed as a single expected award with an estimated total funding amount of $500,000, and it does not require cost sharing or matching funds. The notice reflects an intent to make a sole-source award to the University of Minnesota rather than run a competitive application process. The eligibility field indicates there is no application process for outside parties; instead, the award is justified under internal policy authorities (cited as 505 DM 2.14B(1) and (4)) that allow the agency to proceed with a single source when specific conditions are met.
The University of Minnesota is identified as the intended recipient because of its established technical capacity and prior track record delivering similar geospatial habitat assessment and data delivery projects for FWS and other partners. The description highlights that the University has developed specialized geospatial approaches that leverage newer remote sensing technologies to improve how landscapes are delineated and classified. This work has been built in collaboration with a range of partners, including the State of Minnesota, the National Science Foundation, and other government and nonprofit organizations, suggesting the methods are both research-informed and tested in applied settings.
Administratively, the posting date is February 23, 2012, with a creation date of March 7, 2012, and an archive date of March 24, 2012. No closing date is listed because the announcement is not a call for proposals; it functions as a public notice of intent to award. For questions or for help accessing the announcement, the listed point of contact is Brian Huberty at FWS (612-713-5332, brianhuberty@fws.gov).
