Opportunity Summary:
This grant notice, titled "Migratory Bird Joint Ventures - Gulf Coast Joint Venture Fiscal Year 2009" (Funding Opportunity Number FWS R4 10 004), is not an open funding competition. It is a formal Notice of Intent from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) to make a single-source award, meaning the agency plans to fund one specific organization without soliciting or reviewing competing proposals. Because of that, there is no full announcement package and the public posting is mainly meant to document the government decision to proceed with a non-competitive cooperative agreement.
FWS states it intends to issue Cooperative Agreement 40181AJ035 to American Bird Conservancy under CFDA 15.637 (Migratory Bird Joint Ventures) and the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act of 1980, as amended. The purpose of the financial assistance is to support the operational needs of the Central Hardwoods Joint Venture (CHJV). CHJV is described as a self-directed partnership that brings together state, federal, and private organizations to deliver conservation at a landscape scale, with a focus on sustaining migratory bird populations. The notice emphasizes that Joint Ventures are a key part of the Service's broader strategy for fish and wildlife conservation because they help align partners around shared priorities and leverage each other's staff, funding, and capabilities.
Under the planned agreement, American Bird Conservancy would provide operational and administrative support to CHJV in line with the priorities set by the CHJV Management Board. In practical terms, this means the funding is intended to help keep the partnership functioning effectively (coordination, administration, and related support activities) rather than being framed as a traditional project grant open to multiple applicants. The notice also explains that the government decision not to compete the award is made under Departmental Manual 505 DM 2, paragraph 2.14(B)(2), and that choosing not to run a competition is solely at the discretion of the awarding agency.
The expected award is listed as a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $280,942. The award ceiling and floor are both $280,942, indicating the amount is essentially fixed. No cost sharing or matching is required. The anticipated award date is on or about June 23, 2010, and the period of performance runs from the date of award through May 1, 2015. Although the posting includes general eligibility language (unrestricted), the single-source nature of the notice makes clear that the agency is not seeking applications from other entities.
Administratively, the notice indicates that Central Contractor Registration (CCR) requirements apply, reflecting the standard federal registration expectations for entities receiving federal financial assistance at the time. Key dates shown in the posting include a posted date of June 16, 2010, an original/current closing date of June 21, 2010, and an archive date of July 21, 2010; however, these dates do not function like a normal application window because the notice is not a solicitation. For questions, the notice provides contacts at FWS: Dean Demarest (404-679-7371) and Janice McNeill (404-679-4056), with email correspondence directed to Janicemcneill@fws.gov.
