Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity is a U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) discretionary funding announcement issued as a Notice of Intent to Award a single cooperative agreement for work in Montana related to groundwater monitoring data integration. The core purpose is to connect groundwater data from selected wells and at least one spring that are part of the Montana Bureau of Mines and Geology (MBMG) groundwater monitoring network to the National Ground Water Monitoring Network (NGWMN). In practical terms, the project is about making MBMG monitoring data available through the national NGWMN framework so that Montana groundwater information can be discovered, accessed, and used alongside comparable monitoring records from other states and federal partners.
The award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the USGS expects to have substantial involvement during the project compared with a standard grant. The funding activity category is Natural Resources, and the listing is associated with CFDA 15.808 (U.S. Geological Survey Research and Data Collection). Only one award is anticipated, and the announcement sets a fixed funding amount: an estimated total of $34,923, with an award ceiling and floor both at $34,923. A cost-sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal resources (such as staff time, services, or other allowable match) in addition to the federal funds, consistent with the terms that would be spelled out in the award.
Eligibility is limited to state governments, which aligns with the Montana-focused scope and the intent to work with a state entity connected to the MBMG monitoring network. The timeline in the notice shows it was posted and created on June 22, 2015, with an original and current closing date of July 6, 2015, and an archive date of August 5, 2015, indicating it was a time-bound opportunity and is no longer open.
For assistance obtaining or accessing the full announcement, the notice provides a USGS contact: Margaret Eastman, Contract Specialist/Contracting Officer, reachable by phone at 703-648-7366.
