National Wetland and Habitat Geospatial Inventories | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The National Wetland and Habitat Geospatial Inventories opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F12AS00228) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) discretionary funding action structured as a cooperative agreement within the Science and Technology and other Research and Development activity category. The purpose is to support continued geospatial habitat assessment work and to improve how habitat data are delivered and made usable for both the Service and the broader public. In practical terms, the project is meant to strengthen and extend geospatial inventories that inform wetland and habitat conservation, planning, and decision-making, aligning closely with the National Wetlands Inventory program (CFDA 15.665).

This notice describes a collaborative effort between FWS and Ducks Unlimited focused on producing and delivering high-quality geospatial habitat information. Ducks Unlimited is positioned as the technical lead because of its specialized scientific capacity and its track record completing similar habitat assessment and data delivery projects with FWS and other partners. A central emphasis is the use of updated remote sensing tools and workflows to more accurately delineate landscape features, particularly wetlands and related habitats. The announcement highlights that Ducks Unlimited has developed distinct geospatial approaches, including methods that leverage newer remote sensing technologies, and that these approaches have been advanced through partnerships such as work with the State of Minnesota and other governmental and nonprofit entities. The overall intent is continuity: building on prior completed efforts and keeping these geospatial assessment and delivery capabilities moving forward.

From an administrative and eligibility standpoint, this opportunity is not an open, competitive grant solicitation. The notice explicitly states there is no application process and that FWS intends to make a single-source award to Ducks Unlimited. The justification cited is 505 DM 2.14B(1) and (4), indicating the agency is relying on authorities that allow a non-competitive award when specific conditions are met (for example, unique qualifications or continuity of specialized work). As a result, while the listing shows “Eligible Applicants: Others (see text field...),” the practical effect is that the only anticipated recipient is Ducks Unlimited, and the award is effectively pre-selected.

Funding details reflect a single expected award with an estimated total funding amount of $500,000. The award ceiling is also $500,000, with an award floor of $1,000, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was posted on June 19, 2012, with no closing date listed, and it was archived on July 20, 2012, reinforcing that this was a time-limited notice of intent rather than a standing competitive program cycle.

For anyone seeking additional information or needing help accessing the full announcement, the listed FWS contact is Brian Huberty at (612) 713-5332 or brianhuberty@fws.gov. The Additional Information link is shown as “http://na,” suggesting no external web posting was provided beyond the core notice text.
