Opportunity Summary:
The National Marine Fisheries Service Sea Turtle Workshop opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number FWS R4 10 001) is a Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) discretionary funding action under the Environment activity category. It is published as a notice of intent to make a single-source award, meaning it is not a competitive grant solicitation and there is no full announcement or request for proposals attached to the notice. FWS states that the decision not to compete the award is made under Departmental Policy 505 DM 2, paragraph 2.14(B)(2), and that this determination is solely within the agency's discretion.
The planned award is a cooperative agreement, with one expected award totaling $99,533. The award floor and ceiling are both listed as $99,533, indicating a fixed anticipated amount rather than a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The funding is associated with CFDA 15.657, Endangered Species Conservation - Recovery Implementation Funds, which aligns the project with recovery-focused work for protected species.
The specific purpose of the cooperative agreement is for Concur, Inc. to convene and facilitate a workshop to develop an in-water sampling plan for Northwest Atlantic loggerhead sea turtles. The notice frames this as a critical step toward creating and implementing an index in-water sampling program for loggerheads in the Northwest Atlantic. According to the description, such a program is important for understanding population trends across multiple life stages, documenting life-history status, tracking recovery progress, and evaluating the effectiveness of recovery actions. In other words, the workshop is intended to produce a practical, agreed-upon sampling approach that can support consistent, long-term monitoring and management decisions.
Although the listing includes a broad set of eligible applicant types (including universities, tribal governments, state and local governments, nonprofits, individuals, and for-profit organizations), the content of the notice makes clear the agency intends to award to a single identified entity rather than open the project for competition. Key dates in the posting show it was posted December 14, 2009, created December 17, 2009, with an original and current closing date of December 19, 2009, and an archive date of January 18, 2010.
For questions, the notice directs inquiries to Ann Marie Lauritsen, Wildlife Biologist, at (904) 525-0661, or to Janice McNeill, Contract Specialist, at (404) 679-4056 or by email at janicemcneill@fws.gov.
