Opportunity Summary:
The Migratory Bird Monitoring, Assessment and Conservation opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number FWS R4 10 005) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) discretionary funding action that is being issued strictly as a notice of intent to make a single-source award. There is no full funding announcement attached to it, and it is not a request for competitive proposals. In practical terms, this means the agency has already identified the intended recipient and is not opening the project up for other applicants to compete.
FWS plans to make a cooperative agreement award to Manomet, Inc. under CFDA 15.655 (Migratory Bird Monitoring, Assessment and Conservation) and the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act of 1980, as amended in 1988. The goal of the project is to provide financial assistance to improve data management capabilities for the International Shorebird Survey (ISS). The ISS is a long-running shorebird monitoring effort, and the focus here is not on collecting new field data as much as making existing and incoming ISS data more usable, accessible, and effective for real-world conservation decision-making.
The core need being addressed is the high priority challenge of managing and leveraging shorebird migration data in a way that better supports conservation and management initiatives. By strengthening the data management side of the ISS, FWS aims to increase the practical value of the survey data for both on-the-ground managers and policy-level administrators. A major reason this matters is that the ISS contains a long time series of observations, which can be especially important for detecting and interpreting changes over time, including shifts potentially linked to climate change. Better-organized and more usable data can improve the ability to evaluate trends, identify risks to shorebird populations during migration, and decide whether new or adjusted conservation actions are warranted.
Geographically and programmatically, the project is framed around improving the utility of the ISS for shorebird management and conservation decisions within the South Atlantic Landscape Conservation Cooperative. That emphasis suggests the work is meant to support coordinated, landscape-scale planning and decision-making across jurisdictions and partners in that region, using a stronger data foundation.
The funding details are straightforward because this is a single planned award. The estimated total funding is $198,000, and both the award floor and ceiling are listed as $198,000, indicating the agency expects one award at that amount. No cost sharing or matching is required. The period of performance runs from the date of award through September 12, 2012.
The notice also explains that the government decision not to compete the award is based on internal policy authority (Departmental Manual 505 DM 2, paragraph 2.14(B)(2)), and that this determination is solely within the discretion of FWS. Although the posting lists an eligible applicant category (nonprofits without 501(c)(3) status, other than institutions of higher education), the single-source structure means eligibility is largely academic for this specific action because the award is intended for Manomet, Inc.
Key dates and administrative details include a posted date of September 20, 2010, with an original and current closing date of September 24, 2010, and an archive date of October 24, 2010. For questions, FWS listed contacts Brad Andres at (303) 275-2324 and Janice McNeill at (404) 679-4056, with email correspondence directed to janicemcneill@fws.gov.
