Opportunity Summary:
The North American Wetland Conservation Act (NAWCA) Program Delivery grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F12AS00414) is a discretionary grant posted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) to support on-the-ground conservation delivery work tied to NAWCA-funded projects. The core purpose is practical and field-oriented: providing personnel support to help USFWS identify and prioritize properties that should be protected for habitat conservation, either through fee title acquisition (outright purchase of land) or through the purchase of wetland and grassland conservation easements. In other words, the funded work is meant to strengthen and speed up the pipeline of finding suitable parcels, working through the evaluation process, and getting potential acquisitions or easements ready within NAWCA grant timelines.
This notice is structured as a single-source, non-competitive award, meaning it is not an open competition for multiple applicants. The agency states the award is being made under Department of the Interior policy 505 DM 2.14 B(2), which allows an award without competition when the effort is a continuation of work already underway and competing it would significantly disrupt continuity or completion. The justification given is essentially that this activity is already in progress and is necessary to satisfactorily complete or continue existing funded efforts, and that introducing competition at this stage could slow down or negatively affect project delivery.
Eligibility is therefore narrow and specific. The announcement serves as a Notice of Intent to award a grant to the Northern Prairie Land Trust (NPLT). The stated reason for selecting NPLT is to support USFWS by identifying properties for purchase or easement acquisition within the time frames established by NAWCA grants. The opportunity falls under CFDA 15.637 (Migratory Bird Joint Ventures), aligning it with habitat conservation priorities that support migratory birds and related wetland and grassland ecosystems.
In terms of funding details, the opportunity anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1). The estimated total funding amount listed is $100,000, while the award ceiling and floor shown are both $20,000, indicating the intended individual award amount is $20,000 even though the broader program estimate is higher in the source data. The grant requires no cost sharing or matching. Key dates show it was posted on September 13, 2012, with an original and current closing date of September 14, 2012, and an archive date of October 13, 2012, reflecting a short administrative window typical of single-source notices rather than a standard competitive grant cycle.
For access issues or questions about the announcement, the listed USFWS point of contact is William Mulvaney, Project Officer, reachable at 605-885-6357 and by email at billburwell@fws.gov.
