Opportunity Summary:
The Migratory Bird Joint Ventures - Oaks and Prairies Joint Venture Fiscal Year 2013 opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F13AS00200) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), Region 2 notice stating the agency's intent to issue a single-source cooperative agreement rather than run a competitive grant process. The announcement is explicitly not a request for applications, meaning outside organizations should not prepare or submit proposals in response to this posting. Instead, it serves as a public transparency notice that FWS plans to fund one specific recipient for a defined purpose under Department of the Interior single-source guidance (505 DM 2).
The planned award is estimated at $289,800 in total, with an award ceiling of $289,800 and an award floor of $0. The instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency in the funded work compared to a standard grant. The funding falls under the Environment and Natural Resources activity area and is associated with CFDA number 15.637, Migratory Bird Joint Ventures. The posting lists one expected award and states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement.
The intended recipient is the American Bird Conservancy. The purpose of the multi-year cooperative agreement is to provide the personnel and the related office space and support needed to coordinate, support, and facilitate the work of the Oaks and Prairies Joint Venture partnership. In practical terms, this kind of funding supports the core coordination capacity of the Joint Venture, such as partnership administration, communication among partners, planning support, and implementation facilitation, rather than being framed as a broad call for new project proposals from the public.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on June 13, 2013, and later archived on August 31, 2013. Both the original and current closing date fields reiterate that this is only a notice of intent for a single-source award and not an open competition.
