Opportunity Summary:
This listing is a Notice of Intent to Award from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) for a cooperative agreement connected to the Quinault National Fish Hatchery and the Quinault Indian Nation's Tribal Employment Rights/Resource Ordinance (TERO) program. It is not a competitive grant opportunity. The agency explicitly states that no competition is expected and that applicants should not apply. In practical terms, the announcement functions as a public notice that FWS plans to make a single, directed award to a specific recipient under an approved justification, rather than an open solicitation.
The planned recipient is the Quinault Indian Nation (a federally recognized Tribal government), and the award is intended to formalize cooperation between FWS and the Nation by defining each party's duties and responsibilities for funding and carrying out the Nation's TERO program as it relates to hatchery work. The agreement focuses on supporting hatchery operations through temporary employment and training opportunities for Tribal members. Alongside the workforce and training component, the notice also emphasizes ongoing communication, consultation, and coordination between FWS and the Quinault Indian Nation, reflecting an intent to keep operational decisions and implementation aligned with Tribal interests and the federal-tribal relationship.
A key element described in the objectives is recognition of the Quinault Indian Nation's ownership and management interests in lands, roads, and waters within the boundaries of the Quinault Indian Reservation, specifically as those interests relate to TERO implementation. This signals that the cooperative agreement is not just about staffing support for hatchery activities, but also about clarifying how work occurs within reservation boundaries and how Tribal authority and resource governance are respected in the process.
The instrument type is a cooperative agreement (not a standard grant), which typically indicates that substantial federal involvement is expected during performance. The notice states that substantial involvement by FWS is anticipated, meaning the Service expects to remain actively engaged in coordination, oversight, and collaboration while the agreement is carried out, consistent with the Department of the Interior policy references cited in the announcement.
Administratively, the opportunity is identified as Funding Opportunity Number FWS 13250BJ001 and is categorized as discretionary funding with an environmental focus, with the category explanation pointing to training. The program is associated with CFDA 15.608, Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance. The anticipated number of awards is one, and the funding amount is fixed: an award floor and ceiling of $47,000, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. The posting date is August 30, 2010, with an original and current closing date of September 8, 2010, and an archive date of October 8, 2010, reflecting that this was a time-limited notice tied to the intended award process rather than an open application window.
For anyone trying to access the full announcement materials, the notice provides a point of contact at FWS: Penny Russell, Contract Officer (Region 1), phone 503-231-6146. The announcement also references an attached Notice of Intent (NOI) justification document in the full announcement section, which is where the agency's rationale for issuing a directed, noncompetitive award would be documented.
