Notice of Intent to Award Pacific Coast Joint Venture Administration | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

This notice is a non-competitive federal grant action by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) announcing its intent to make a single cooperative agreement award to Ducks Unlimited, Inc. The key point of the announcement is that it is not an open funding opportunity: the agency states that no competition is expected and explicitly instructs the public not to apply. The planned award is justified under Department of the Interior policy provisions cited as 505 DM 2.14 B(2) and B(4), which are referenced in the attached Notice of Intent to Award.

The purpose of the cooperative agreement is to provide funding support for conservation work carried out under the Pacific Coast Joint Venture (PCJV). PCJV is part of the Migratory Bird Joint Ventures framework and focuses on coordinated bird habitat conservation across the Pacific Coast region. The award is meant to sustain the joint venture's core capacity and deliver work identified in the PCJV business model, particularly conservation planning, project design and implementation support, and the evaluation and assessment needed to measure conservation outcomes and adapt strategies over time.

The activities supported by this funding are broad and reflect the day-to-day functions of a large regional conservation partnership. The notice lists administration and outreach as eligible components, along with habitat management, conservation planning, research, monitoring, and evaluation. In practice, that can include coordinating partners, supporting science-based prioritization of habitats, developing and advancing restoration or protection projects, collecting and analyzing monitoring data, and communicating results and priorities to partners and stakeholders. The work is also expected to align with the objectives of the North American Waterfowl Management Plan and other major bird conservation plans, signaling that the project is intended to contribute to continent-scale bird conservation goals rather than operate as a standalone effort.

From a funding and eligibility standpoint, the announcement describes a single expected award with a total estimated amount of $681,970, and it sets the award ceiling and floor at the same value ($681,970), indicating a fixed planned award size rather than a range. The instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which typically implies substantial federal involvement or collaboration during the period of performance compared with a standard grant. The CFDA (assistance listing) number attached is 15.637, Migratory Bird Joint Ventures. No cost sharing or matching is required. While the general eligibility category shown is nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than higher education institutions), the notice makes clear the intended recipient is Ducks Unlimited, Inc., and applications from others are not being solicited.

The timeline included in the source data shows the opportunity was posted on June 8, 2011, with an original and current closing date of June 22, 2011, and an archive date of July 22, 2011. Even though those dates look like a normal application window, the substance of the notice overrides that expectation: it is essentially an informational posting tied to the agency's intent to award to a specific organization, not a competitive call for proposals. For additional context about the PCJV, the notice points readers to www.pcjv.org/home/.
