Opportunity Summary:
The Golden Eagle Satellite Telemetry opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number FWSR2 MB NONGAME FY11 001) is a continuation grant notice published by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), Region 2, focused on conservation research for priority bird species. While the broader program emphasis includes species listed under USFWS Birds of Conservation Concern (2008) and Birds of Management Concern, the specific project described here targets golden eagles in the Four Corners area of New Mexico. The core purpose is to extend an existing satellite-telemetry study to improve understanding of golden eagle movement patterns and survival, especially during the critical juvenile and post-fledging life stages, and to begin building baseline, age-specific survival estimates for the Southwest.
This notice is not a typical open, competitive grant solicitation. Instead, it is a sole-source, single-award amendment to an existing agreement between USFWS and Eagle Environmental, Inc. (EEI). USFWS states that it is issuing the action under applicable sole-source authorities and internal Department of the Interior guidance for Single Source Determinations, and it also cites FAR 6.302-1 as the basis for publishing it as a sole-source action. The agency is explicit that this is not a request for competitive quotes and that the pre-solicitation notice is informational only, with no full competitive announcement to follow. Although the eligibility field lists applicants as "unrestricted," the text makes clear that the intended recipient is EEI through a single-source amendment rather than an open competition.
Funding for the amendment is approximately $48,499 (listed as an estimated total of $48,500 and an award ceiling of $48,500), with one expected award and no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The grant is associated with CFDA 15.655, Migratory Bird Monitoring, Assessment and Conservation, and falls under activity categories tied to environment, natural resources, and research and development. The posting date was November 5, 2010, with a closing date of November 30, 2010, and an archive date of December 30, 2010, reflecting that it was time-bound as a public notice rather than a long-form application cycle.
Programmatically, the amendment supports an additional year of work extending into 2011 and represents the second year of a cooperative effort involving multiple partners: USFWS Division of Migratory Birds, the Bureau of Land Management, the Jicarilla Tribe, and the Navajo Nation. The field work includes deploying up to 14 satellite transmitters, with a particular emphasis on tracking juvenile golden eagles over their first few years of life. The agency notes that transmitters for the project were already purchased, suggesting the amendment primarily supports continued deployment, monitoring, data collection, and analysis rather than equipment acquisition.
USFWS justifies selecting EEI on the grounds that the organization is uniquely qualified due to extensive experience monitoring and tracking golden eagles in the Southwest, including prior satellite telemetry work, and because it has established working relationships with the tribal governments and the Bureau of Land Management involved in the cooperative effort. The project is described as building directly on work initiated in spring 2010 and is intended to address persistent gaps in knowledge about golden eagle population dynamics in the region, particularly around movements and survival across age classes.
For additional details, the notice directs questions to William Howe, Regional Nongame Coordinator, at 505-248-6875, with the contact specifically noted for questions related to the Golden Eagle Project.
