Opportunity Summary:
The Grizzly Bear Management Assistance in Wyoming opportunity is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) cooperative agreement intended to support on-the-ground grizzly bear management and recovery work in Wyoming. The project focuses on practical actions that reduce conflicts between people and grizzly bears while supporting implementation of the Grizzly Bear Recovery Plan. Work described in the announcement includes public outreach and education, along with direct management activities such as capturing, relocating, and monitoring grizzly bears when needed to address nuisance situations and minimize bear-human conflicts.
This funding opportunity is structured as a single-source award, meaning it is not being competed broadly among multiple applicants. The announcement cites Department of the Interior policy (505 DM 2.14 B, "Unique Qualifications") as the justification for awarding without competition. The rationale is that the Wyoming Game and Fish Department is uniquely qualified and, importantly, is the only state agency with the legal jurisdiction and authority to manage grizzly bears in Wyoming. According to the notice, no other agency or organization has the same legal responsibility, authority, management experience, or capacity to capture and handle nuisance grizzly bears in the state, and Wyoming Game and Fish is the entity responsible for responding to and managing human-bear conflicts.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $255,000, with an award ceiling of $255,000 and an award floor of $51,000. Only one award is expected. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated. The opportunity falls under the Environment and Natural Resources activity category and is tied to CFDA 15.657 (Endangered Species Conservation, Recovery Implementation Funds), reflecting its role in supporting recovery-related implementation efforts.
From an administrative standpoint, the posting date and creation date are both June 24, 2011, with an original and current closing date of June 27, 2011, and an archive date of July 27, 2011. Eligibility is effectively limited by design: the notice is a "Notice of Intent" to make this cooperative agreement as a single-source award to the Wyoming Game and Fish Department due to their statutory role in assisting FWS with the Grizzly Bear Recovery Plan and managing grizzly bear issues statewide.
For access or questions about the announcement, the listed grants management contact is Andrea Meyer, Grants Management Specialist, at 303-236-5412 (email is referenced but not provided in the text you shared).
