Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "North Carolina Zoo" (Funding Opportunity Number F15AS00100), is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service discretionary grant that was issued as a notice of intent to make a single-source award rather than a competitive solicitation. In practical terms, it is not an open call for proposals and there is no full funding announcement tied to it. The agency states explicitly that it is not requesting applications, and that the decision not to compete the award is based on departmental policy (505 DM 2.14, B.(2)) and is within the agency's discretion.
The intended recipient is The North Carolina Zoo, and the purpose of the grant is to increase off-exhibit holding capacity for red wolves at the zoo. The justification described in the notice is a current shortage of holding spaces for wolves in captivity, which can be a limiting factor for managing captive populations, supporting breeding and husbandry needs, and providing flexibility for animal care and program operations. The activity category is listed under Information and Statistics, Science and Technology, and other Research and Development, and the associated CFDA (now commonly referenced as Assistance Listing) number is 15.608, Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance.
The funding details indicate an estimated total funding amount of $50,000, with an expected number of awards set at 1. No cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as 0, which commonly reflects that a specific ceiling/floor is not being used in the listing even though an estimated total amount is provided.
Key dates show the notice was posted and created on February 12, 2015, with an original and current closing date of February 20, 2015, and an archive date of February 23, 2015. Although "eligible applicants" is shown as unrestricted in the data fields, the text clarifies that this is not an opportunity to apply, since it is a single-source intent to award to The North Carolina Zoo.
