Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Reclamation posted a discretionary funding notice titled "Improving Operational Decision Making" (Funding Opportunity Number R15AC00049) to publicly announce its intent to fund a specific set of project activities through a cooperative agreement. This is not an open solicitation and it is not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as formal public notice that Reclamation plans to make an award without full and open competition, meaning the agency already intends to support particular work and is not inviting competing proposals through this announcement.
The opportunity falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is associated with CFDA 15.560 (SECURE Water Act - Research Agreements). The agency anticipated making a single award, with total estimated funding of $140,628. The award amount is fixed in the notice, with the ceiling and floor both listed as $140,628, indicating the planned award size rather than a range. No cost sharing or matching was required.
The notice was posted and created on June 26, 2015, with an original and current closing date of July 10, 2015, and an archive date of August 9, 2015. Because it is not a competitive call, the "closing date" functions more as an administrative timeline for the posting rather than a deadline for submitting applications. Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," but the accompanying eligibility statement clarifies that applications are not being requested and the purpose is simply to announce the intended noncompetitive funding action.
For more information, the announcement points to the Bureau of Reclamation website (http://www.usbr.gov). It also provides a contact for access issues or questions about the full announcement: Shaun Wilken, Grants Management Specialist, phone 303-445-3697.
