Opportunity Summary:
The Migratory Bird Joint Ventures - Rio Grande Joint Venture Fiscal Year 2013 opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F13AS00201) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS), Region 2 notice stating the agency's intent to make a single-source award 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 formal public notice consistent with Department of the Interior guidance (505 DM 2) that the agency plans to fund one specific recipient for a defined purpose.
The planned award is a discretionary cooperative agreement in the environment and natural resources category (CFDA 15.637, Migratory Bird Joint Ventures). The estimated total funding is $269,800, with an award ceiling of $269,800 and an award floor of $0. Only one award is expected. No cost sharing or matching is required. The funding would be issued under a multi-year cooperative agreement, which typically indicates an ongoing partnership arrangement where the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the supported work (for example, coordination, collaboration, and shared planning rather than a hands-off pass-through grant).
The intended recipient named in the notice is the American Bird Conservancy. The purpose of the award is to provide personnel and associated office space and support needed to coordinate, support, and facilitate the activities of the Rio Grande Joint Venture partnership. In practical terms, this type of funding is aimed at maintaining the capacity and infrastructure required to keep the joint venture functioning effectively, such as staffing for partnership coordination, communication, meeting support, project tracking, and other administrative or logistical functions that enable the partnership to carry out migratory bird conservation work across the Rio Grande region.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on June 13, 2013, and it was archived on August 31, 2013. The listed closing dates repeat the same message that it is a notice of intent for a single-source award and not an application-based solicitation. The Grants.gov link is provided as the additional information source, but the core message remains that this is not open for competitive submissions.
For questions or difficulty accessing the full announcement, the contact listed is Greg Esslinger, Migratory Bird Management Operations Specialist, reachable at 505-248-6876 or via email at GregEsslinger@fws.gov.
