Opportunity Summary:
The Invasive Species Control opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number R16AN20009) is a discretionary grant action announced by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation (DOI-BOR), under CFDA 15.519 and the funding authority of Public Law 108-7 (Energy and Water Development Appropriations, 2003, Division D, Title II, Section 201). The Bureau of Reclamation states its intent to issue a single grant agreement with an estimated total value of $46,323, with the full $46,323 to be provided in Fiscal Year 2016. The opportunity is categorized under environmental activities and is specifically aimed at on-the-ground resource management work tied to invasive species impacts in riparian systems.
The planned recipient identified in the notice is the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe (PLPT), a federally recognized tribal government, and the work is focused on the lower Truckee River corridor within the Tribe's reservation boundaries. The project is centered on active invasive species reduction paired with riparian enhancement, meaning it is not just about removing unwanted plants but also improving the health and function of riverbank and floodplain habitats after or alongside treatment. The target invasive or problematic species listed for reduction and/or removal include saltcedar (tamarisk), tall whitetop, Russian olive, and cheatgrass, all of which can outcompete native vegetation, alter habitat conditions, and contribute to long-term degradation of riparian areas if left unmanaged.
In addition to field implementation, the project includes public outreach as an explicit objective. Outreach is intended to inform the general public about environmentally sensitive impacts, which typically involves communicating where and why treatments are happening, what precautions are being taken to protect sensitive resources, and how the activities support broader ecosystem and community goals. The notice points readers to the associated Notice of Intent to Award for additional details, indicating that this posting serves primarily as a formal announcement of the agency's planned award rather than a full program solicitation.
A key point in the announcement is that it is not competitive. The Bureau of Reclamation notes that any decision not to compete the financial assistance is made under Departmental Manual 505 DM 2, paragraph 2.14(B)(4), and that this determination is solely within the government's discretion. As a result, the notice is explicitly not a request for competitive proposals and does not invite applications from other entities. The posting lists an original and current closing date of February 22, 2016, reflects an expected number of awards of one, and shows that it was created and posted on February 8, 2016. Questions are directed to the listed grants management specialist, Crystal Oliver, via the provided email address (coliver@usbr.gov).
