Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "MICHIGAN STATE UNIVERSITY" (Funding Opportunity Number: FWS 2011 94100 MSU) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service cooperative agreement issued as a continuation award rather than a competitive grant. It was posted on September 14, 2011, with an original and current closing date of September 16, 2011, and later archived on October 16, 2011. The agency anticipated making a single award, with total funding set at exactly $165,000 (the award floor and ceiling are both $165,000), and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement.
This award is explicitly described as a single-source continuation of a prior award (award number 98210 7 J004). The purpose is to maintain continuity in the ongoing development of the National Habitat Assessment focused on the current status of fish habitat, work that supports the broader National Fish Habitat Action Plan. The government states that recompeting the work is not feasible because the existing recipient has been involved since 2006 and holds the historic knowledge, technical background, and technology needed to continue the assessment without disrupting progress. In other words, the key rationale is that switching to a new vendor or institution would risk delays, loss of institutional knowledge, and potential incompatibilities with existing tools and data systems, which could adversely affect completion of the project.
Although the listed eligible applicant type is "Public and State controlled institutions of higher education," the notice makes clear that this is not a request for applications and is not being opened to competition. The decision not to compete is justified under Department of the Interior policy (505 DM 2.14) for continuation actions, specifically where continued funding is necessary to satisfactorily complete or continue an activity already being funded and where competition would significantly harm continuity or completion. Practically speaking, this announcement functions more like a public justification and documentation step for a directed continuation award than an opportunity that outside applicants can pursue.
The funding activity category is classified under "Science and Technology and other Research and Development," and the CFDA listing provided is 15.608 (Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance). For questions or help accessing the full announcement, the listed contact is Tom Busiahn, Chief, National Fish Habitat Action Plan, at 703-358-2056, with an email link referenced in the notice.
