Opportunity Summary:
This notice is a public announcement from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) stating its intent to make a single, specific award for work at Mattamuskeet National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) in North Carolina. It is not a call for proposals and is not asking other organizations to apply. Instead, it serves mainly as formal notification that FWS plans to provide supplemental funding to replace Marsh Impoundment 10 at the refuge.
The planned award will be issued as a cooperative agreement under a natural resources funding activity and is tied to CFDA (now Assistance Listing) 15.631, Partners for Fish and Wildlife. The government expects to make one award totaling exactly $40,000, with the award floor and ceiling both set at $40,000, indicating the amount is fixed rather than a range. A cost-sharing or matching contribution is required, and the justification for selecting the recipient is partly based on the cost-share being offered.
FWS indicates the award will be made without full and open competition, citing Department of the Interior policy (505 DM 2 (1)) and explaining that the basis is an unsolicited proposal along with the recipient's cost-sharing contribution. The intended recipient is Ducks Unlimited, Inc., which is identified directly in the notice as the organization providing the cost share and receiving the supplemental funding for the impoundment replacement project.
Key administrative dates show the opportunity was posted and created on May 24, 2011, with a closing date of June 8, 2011, and an archive date of June 24, 2011. Even though the eligibility field is listed as "unrestricted," the text makes clear this is effectively a sole-source notice of intent rather than a competitive grant opportunity.
For questions or help accessing the full announcement, the listed contact is Kevin Brooks, Grants Management Specialist, reachable at 404-679-4069.
