Opportunity Summary:
The KLAMATH BASIN RESTORATION PLANNING, IMPLEMENTATION AND MONITORING PROGRAM is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) initiative designed to set up a formal partnership to plan, carry out, and track restoration work in the Klamath Basin in Oregon. The program is focused on practical, on-the-ground projects that improve both aquatic and terrestrial habitats, while also supporting improvements to in-stream water flows. The overall intent is to generate measurable benefits for fish and wildlife and, at the same time, support the long-term health and well-being of local communities that depend on the basin's natural systems.
This opportunity is offered as a discretionary award using a Cooperative Agreement, which signals that FWS expects to have substantial involvement in the work rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. In other words, the funded organization and the agency are expected to coordinate closely as projects are developed, implemented, and monitored. The funding activity aligns with natural resources work and is listed under CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) number 15.663.
A key detail is that this posting is a Notice of Intent to make a single-source award, meaning it was not a competitive solicitation open to multiple applicants. The selected recipient was the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF), and the notice states directly that the recipient had already been chosen. The eligible applicant categories shown in the source data include nonprofit organizations (both 501(c)(3) and non-501(c)(3), excluding institutions of higher education), but in practice this particular announcement was not intended to select among eligible applicants because it was single-source.
Financially, the opportunity lists an award ceiling of $1,100,000 and anticipates one award in total. The timing reflects that it was created on September 3, 2016, with an original closing date of September 8, 2016, which is consistent with short posting windows often used for single-source notices where the main purpose is public transparency rather than collecting proposals.
The legal authority cited for the program is the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation Establishment Act (16 U.S.C. 3701-3709), including its subsequent amendments through several public laws. This authority supports the use of NFWF as a partner for conservation and restoration-focused funding and coordination. In practical terms, the program is structured to create a sustained mechanism for restoration in the Klamath Basin by combining planning, implementation, and monitoring so that projects are not only completed but also evaluated for effectiveness and adjusted over time based on results.
