Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Monitoring Program for the Trace Elements in Mussels" (Funding Opportunity Number N62473 15 2 0014), was released by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command as a discretionary cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources activity category. The core goal is to continue an existing environmental monitoring program at Naval Weapons Station (NAVWPNSTA) Seal Beach that measures trace element levels in mussels. The monitoring is specifically intended to meet requirements laid out in the Monitoring and Researching Environmental Quality section of the Endangered Species Management and Protection Plan for NAVWPNSTA Seal Beach and the Seal Beach National Wildlife Refuge (SBNWR), which traces back to a Record of Decision dated February 27, 1991. In practical terms, the project is about maintaining an established, compliance-driven dataset that helps the Navy track environmental quality conditions in and around a sensitive coastal habitat associated with a military installation and an adjacent wildlife refuge.
The opportunity was structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the agency expects some level of involvement or partnership during performance rather than a simple pass-through grant. Only one award was anticipated. The estimated total funding and maximum award amount were both listed as $16,533, with no minimum award floor specified. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, which means applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of eligibility or award.
Eligibility was described as unrestricted, meaning the competition was broadly open to many entity types, as long as the applicant qualified under Department of Defense Grant and Agreement Regulations (DoDGARS) Part 34 and the government-wide assistance rules in 2 CFR 200. The announcement indicates that additional terms and conditions were provided as a separate attachment, which is common for federal assistance opportunities and usually covers reporting, deliverables, allowable costs, and compliance obligations.
From a timing standpoint, the notice was posted and created on May 21, 2015, with an original and current closing date of June 20, 2015. The opportunity was later archived on July 20, 2015, indicating it is no longer open for applications. The listing also references CFDA 12.300, Basic and Applied Scientific Research, which places the work within a research and monitoring context even though the immediate driver is environmental stewardship and compliance with an established management plan.
For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Reagan Pablo, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 619-532-2090 or by email at reagan.s.pablo@navy.mil.
