Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Implementation of the Monitoring Plan for the American Peregrine Falcon in Colorado" (Funding Opportunity Number F15AS00145), is a discretionary grant offered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), Region 6, under CFDA 15.647 (Migratory Bird Conservation). The purpose is to carry out post-delisting monitoring work for the American peregrine falcon in Colorado, with the broader goal of ensuring that a species removed from Endangered Species Act (ESA) protections can continue to sustain itself without the safeguards that the ESA previously provided. The monitoring is designed to function as an early warning system: if data collected during the monitoring period suggests the species is declining or otherwise failing to maintain a secure status, the USFWS can use that information to consider reinstating ESA protections, including initiating relisting procedures and potentially using emergency listing authority if warranted.
The award is structured as a single-source grant, meaning the USFWS intends to make one award to a specific recipient rather than running a competitive process. The intended recipient is the Colorado Division of Parks and Wildlife (CDPW), and the notice explicitly states it is not a request for proposals and that the government does not intend to accept proposals from other applicants. The justification given is that CDPW has already performed comparable peregrine falcon monitoring efforts for USFWS in Colorado in prior years (2003, 2006, 2009, and 2012), indicating continuity of expertise, established methods, and existing capacity to deliver the monitoring work.
Financially, the opportunity is modest and tightly defined: the estimated total funding is $16,000, and both the award ceiling and award floor are also $16,000, signaling a single fixed-size award rather than a range of possible funding levels. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of the grant. The funding instrument type is a grant, and the activity category is listed as "Other," with clarification that it is tied to this specific single-source intent.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted and created on March 24, 2015, with an original and current closing date of March 31, 2015, and an archive date of April 24, 2015. Because it was a single-source intent notice rather than an open competition, these dates function more as administrative milestones for the notice itself than as an application window for a broad pool of applicants.
