Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Marsh Bird Monitoring San Francisco Bay Bird Observatory" (Funding Opportunity Number 8USFWSIM 2001) is a discretionary funding notice issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) under the Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance program (CFDA 15.608). It is structured as a cooperative agreement in the natural resources funding category, with an estimated total funding amount of $15,000 and an award ceiling of $15,000. USFWS anticipated making one award under this notice.
The purpose of the project is to support marsh bird monitoring activities on National Wildlife Refuge System lands in the San Francisco Bay area. Under this effort, the San Francisco Bay Bird Observatory (SFBBO) would assist USFWS with conducting bird surveys and with cataloguing and organizing associated datasets. A key deliverable described in the notice is the population of a National Wildlife Refuge System legacy database, indicating that the work includes both field-based survey work and data management tasks to ensure observations are properly recorded, standardized, and integrated into USFWS systems. The notice also emphasizes that USFWS staff will work closely and collaboratively with the selected partner, which is consistent with the cooperative agreement model where agency involvement is expected throughout project implementation rather than being a hands-off grant.
This announcement is not a competitive solicitation and does not include an open application process. Instead, it functions as a notice of intent to make a single-source award specifically to the San Francisco Bay Bird Observatory. The justification provided is that SFBBO has unique qualifications, particularly staff with specialized technical expertise needed to carry out the marsh bird surveys and handle the associated database and dataset cataloguing work. The notice references a single-source justification authority (505 DM 2.14 (B4)), reinforcing that the agency is documenting why a sole-source approach is appropriate for this particular requirement.
The posting and timing details show it was posted on January 26, 2012, with a closing date of February 9, 2012, and it was later archived on March 13, 2012. Because the agency stated there is no application process for this project, the "closing date" functions more as an administrative timeline for the public notice period rather than a deadline for submitting proposals.
For access issues or administrative questions about the announcement, the listed contact is Rita S. Howard, Administrative Officer, reachable by phone at 916-531-6546.
