Opportunity Summary:
The Lacreek National Wildlife Refuge Continued Operation of US Geological Survey Gage No. 06448000 grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F13AS00209) is a discretionary, single-source grant announced by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to support continued operation and coordination of stream gaging activities at the USGS site "Lake Creek Above Refuge near Tuthill, South Dakota" (Gage No. 06448000). The project is focused on ensuring that reliable water-related data for Lake Creek is consistently collected, managed, and shared for refuge and related resource management needs, with the South Dakota Department of Environment and Natural Resources serving as the intended recipient.
This announcement is explicitly a Notice of Intent to award without competition, meaning the agency planned to make one award directly to a specific organization rather than soliciting multiple applicants. The justification for the non-competitive approach is tied to Department of the Interior policy (505 DM 2.14 B(2), Continuation), which allows continuation awards when appropriate. In this case, the single-source decision is supported by an existing Memorandum of Understanding between the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the South Dakota Department of Environment and Natural Resources (FWS Number WT05033), which was in effect through September 7, 2015. Because of that established relationship and ongoing coordination structure, the opportunity lists eligibility as effectively limited under that continuation authority rather than broadly open to the public.
The core work described is operational and coordination-based rather than construction or research-heavy. Under the agreement, the recipient is expected to act as the primary contact for data collection and ongoing progress related to the gage, which includes day-to-day coordination with the U.S. Geological Survey. The recipient must also identify problems that arise with gage operation or data collection and take the lead in resolving data collection issues so that the record remains continuous and dependable. Another central responsibility is data dissemination, meaning the recipient helps ensure that the collected information is made available to relevant users and stakeholders in a timely and usable form. Finally, the recipient must provide a report on gage operation and data collection at the end of the South Dakota fiscal year, with the reporting deadline tied to June 30.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted and created on June 19, 2013, and it had a very short open window, closing on June 25, 2013, consistent with a single-source continuation action rather than a competitive grant cycle. The opportunity anticipated one award in total. The estimated total funding amount listed is $20,000, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated. The notice includes an award ceiling of $7,530 and an award floor of $1,000, which suggests the agency was defining expected award size parameters for the agreement even though the broader project funding estimate was higher. The listed CFDA number is 15.649, identified as "Service Training and Technical Assistance (Generic Training)," and the funding activity category is marked as "Other," reflecting that the work is specialized operational support for environmental data collection and coordination rather than a more common grant category.
