Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Invertebrate Species Survey" (Funding Opportunity Number N62473 13 R INVPLNT), is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command under the Natural Resources activity area (CFDA 12.300, Basic and Applied Scientific Research). The project is focused on conducting field surveys at Naval Air Weapons Station (NAWS) China Lake to support the installation's natural resources responsibilities and to meet requirements laid out in its Integrated Natural Resources Management Plan (INRMP). The core goal is to generate updated, on-the-ground data that helps the Navy understand where sensitive invertebrates and a federally listed endangered plant occur, what habitats they use, and how those locations can be managed to avoid or reduce impacts from ongoing military testing and operational activities.
A major part of the work involves continuing and expanding invertebrate species surveys that have been underway at China Lake since 1994. The announcement specifically highlights several invertebrate species with management concerns, including the giant fairy shrimp, butterflies, the Argus land snail, Jerusalem cricket, dune cockroach, Darwin Tiemann's beetle, scarab beetles, and various weevils. The practical reason for surveying these organisms is straightforward: effective conservation and on-base management depends on knowing their distribution and the habitat types they occupy. By mapping occurrences and tying them to habitat conditions, the installation can make better-informed decisions about land use, training and testing schedules, site avoidance, and other protective measures.
The second major component is a rare plant survey and census centered on the Lane Mountain milk vetch (Astragalus jaegerianus), a plant that is federally listed as endangered. The opportunity notes that this species can grow up through other shrubs and is associated with the Superior Valley area within the Mojave B South test complex. The surveys are intended to identify and delineate milk vetch habitat so it can be protected from potential disturbance related to military activities. In other words, the census work supports compliance and stewardship by clarifying where the plant and its habitat occur, which then allows the Navy to plan activities in ways that minimize harm and maintain protection of sensitive areas.
In terms of award structure, the agency anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $25,883 and an award ceiling of $25,883. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement. Eligible applicants included IRS-recognized 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations (excluding institutions of higher education) as well as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education. The opportunity was posted on August 17, 2013, with proposals due by 4:00 PM local time on September 16, 2013, and it was archived on October 16, 2013. The listed point of contact for access issues was Linda Protocollo, Contract Specialist and Cooperative Agreement Administrator, reachable by phone at 619-532-1159.
