Opportunity Summary:
The Fish and Wildlife Service announced a discretionary cooperative agreement opportunity called "Grizzly Bear Management Assistance in Idaho" (Funding Opportunity Number: FWS R6 GRIZZLYBEARMANAGEMENTIDAHO) to support on-the-ground grizzly bear management and recovery work in Idaho. The program sits under CFDA 15.657, Endangered Species Conservation - Recovery Implementation Funds, and is aimed at practical actions that reduce grizzly bear and human conflicts while supporting the broader Grizzly Bear Recovery Plan. The total estimated funding for the award is $125,000, with an award ceiling of $125,000 and an award floor of $1,000, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed.
The core work described for the recipient focuses on active conflict prevention and response. Idaho Fish and Game is expected to carry out public outreach and education so residents and visitors understand how to prevent attracting bears and how to behave in bear country. In addition, the agreement supports direct management actions when conflicts occur, including capturing grizzly bears, relocating them when appropriate, and monitoring bears after capture or relocation. The overall intent is to minimize bear/human conflicts in a way that also aligns with recovery goals for a federally protected species.
This opportunity is structured as a single-source (non-competitive) award, described as a notice of intent to award specifically to Idaho Fish and Game. The justification is based on the Department of the Interior policy cited as 505 DM 2.14 B, "Unique Qualifications." The announcement argues that Idaho Fish and Game is uniquely qualified because it is the only state agency with legal authority and jurisdiction to manage grizzly bears in Idaho and to help implement the Grizzly Bear Recovery Plan within the state. It also states that no other agency or organization has the combination of legal responsibility, legal authority, management experience, and organizational capacity required to capture, handle, and manage nuisance grizzly bears and respond to human/bear conflict situations statewide.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted on September 8, 2011, with an original and current closing date of September 9, 2011, and it was archived on October 9, 2011. Only one award was expected. Although the eligibility field is broadly labeled, the eligibility information clarifies that the announcement serves as a notice of intent to make a single-source cooperative agreement with Idaho Fish and Game.
