Opportunity Summary:
This Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) discretionary grant opportunity, titled "Oil" (Funding Opportunity Number A12A01193), is a single-source award intended specifically for the Jicarilla Apache Nation. Although it is single-source at the time of award, the work was previously announced competitively in the Federal Register on December 19, 2011, and this posting reflects the agency moving forward with a direct award to the Tribe for the described purpose.
The grant supports a focused natural resources study to evaluate the hydrocarbon (oil and gas) potential beneath a tribal "pristine" area. This area has been intentionally set aside by the Tribe to limit roads and other forms of development, and because of those protections it has never been leased for oil and gas exploration or production. The central need driving the project is information: the Tribe wants to understand whether meaningful oil and gas resources might exist below the surface, and if so, what kinds of development approaches could be used to reduce surface disturbance and minimize environmental impacts in a place the Tribe has deliberately protected.
Financially, the opportunity is structured as a single expected award totaling $150,000, with the award floor and ceiling both set at $150,000, indicating a fixed award amount rather than a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The funding instrument is a grant, categorized under Natural Resources, and it aligns with CFDA 15.038, "Minerals and Mining on Indian Lands." Eligibility is limited to federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and in this case the description makes clear the intended recipient is the Jicarilla Apache Nation.
Key dates show the announcement was posted on August 27, 2012 (created August 26, 2012), with an original and current closing date of August 31, 2012, and an archive date of September 7, 2012. For access issues or assistance related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Leo Moomaw, Contracting Officer, reachable by phone at 703-390-6408 (BIA).
