Opportunity Summary:
This grant listing is a Notice of Intent to Award, meaning it is not an open, competitive funding opportunity and there is no full solicitation package tied to it. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) is stating its intent to enter into a grant agreement with a specific recipient, the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission, to carry out work under the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) focused on State and Tribal Aquatic Nuisance Species (ANS) Management. Because it is a single-source action, it is not inviting applications from other entities; it is essentially a public notice that the agency plans to make one award to one identified state partner.
The purpose of the award is to support implementation of the Pennsylvania Aquatic Nuisance Species Management Plan. That plan has already been approved at the state level by Pennsylvania's Governor and also recognized by the Aquatic Nuisance Species Task Force. As a result, it qualifies for federal support under the Nonindigenous Aquatic Nuisance Prevention and Control Act of 1990. In practical terms, the funding is meant to help Pennsylvania prevent, control, and manage non-native aquatic species that can harm ecosystems, fisheries, and water-based economies in areas connected to the Great Lakes basin.
The legal and policy basis for making this a single-source award is explicitly stated. FWS cites Department of the Interior policy 505 DM 2, section 2.14 B(4), which allows an award without competition when the applicant is uniquely qualified to perform the work due to technical expertise. Here, the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission is positioned as the uniquely qualified entity for implementing the state-approved ANS management plan within Pennsylvania, consistent with GLRI goals.
Administratively, the opportunity is categorized as a discretionary grant in the environment activity area. The Funding Opportunity Number is FWS R5 FR 12 001, and it is associated with CFDA (now often referred to as Assistance Listing) 15.662, Great Lakes Restoration. The posting and creation date were April 20, 2012, with an original and current closing date of April 27, 2012, and an archive date of April 28, 2012. The listing anticipates one award. The estimated total funding amount shown is $1,981,366, with an award floor of $750,000 and an award ceiling of $1,043,866. No cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated. Eligible applicants are limited to state governments, aligning with the named recipient and the state plan implementation focus.
