Opportunity Summary:
The Nash Ranch Native Seed Project (Funding Opportunity Number F13AS00048) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service discretionary funding action structured as a cooperative agreement under the natural resources, science and technology, and research and development category. The core purpose of the agreement is to support maintenance of the Nash Prairie Preserve, a site noted for containing a large quantity and diversity of native plant seeds. In practical terms, the project centers on stewardship and upkeep of a preserve whose native seed resources have ecological value for habitat conservation, native plant propagation, and broader refuge or wildlife-related restoration goals.
This opportunity was posted and created on January 16, 2013, with an original (and current) closing date of January 21, 2013, and it was archived on January 25, 2013. Even though it appears in a grants listing format, the announcement is explicitly not a request for applications. The notice states that no applications are being accepted because the project is being completed as a single-source action, meaning the agency had already identified the intended recipient and was not conducting a competitive open solicitation.
Financially, the announcement indicates one expected award with a total estimated funding amount of $8,000. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $8,000, which signals a fixed anticipated award size rather than a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. A CFDA reference is provided (15.654, Visitor Facility Enhancements, Refuges and Wildlife), which helps categorize the federal assistance context even though the work described here is specifically tied to preserve maintenance and native seed resources.
Eligibility is described as “unrestricted” in a general sense, but that is effectively overridden by the single-source nature of the action and the statement that this is not a request for applications. For anyone seeking more information or needing help accessing the full announcement materials, the listed point of contact is Tom Ketcham, Contracting Specialist, at 505-248-6844 or TomKetcham@fws.gov. The public listing also references Grants.gov as the additional information link location.
