Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Operational Support for the Lower Mississippi Valley Joint Venture" (Funding Opportunity Number F18AS00371) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service notice explaining the agency's intent to provide additional funding through a modification to an existing award, rather than launching a new competitive grant process. In other words, it is not an open call for applications and it is not asking the public to submit proposals. Instead, it serves as a formal public notice that the Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service plans to proceed with a single-source funding action tied to a pre-existing agreement.
The planned funding will be issued as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.655, within the Natural Resources activity area. The action will be made through Modification No. 6 to Grant Agreement No. F11AP00657, with Ducks Unlimited, Inc. identified as the recipient. Ducks Unlimited is described as a non-profit organization, and the notice makes clear that the agency intends to continue working with this specific organization under the existing grant framework, rather than selecting among multiple applicants. Although the eligibility field is listed as "Unrestricted," the text of the announcement controls here by clarifying that the award is single-source and therefore not available for new applicants.
The purpose of the funding is operational support aimed at improving bird conservation coordination for the Lower Mississippi Valley Joint Venture (LMVJV). The stated goal is to strengthen coordination that supports integrated bird conservation objectives in the LMVJV geography. This type of work typically involves bringing partners together, aligning habitat and conservation priorities across agencies and organizations, supporting planning and implementation discussions, and ensuring that conservation actions are coordinated in a way that advances shared regional bird conservation strategies. The emphasis in the notice is on coordination and support functions that help integrate and advance broader bird conservation goals, rather than on a standalone construction or land acquisition project.
The announcement lists an award ceiling of $43,000 and anticipates a single award. The posting date (creation date) is September 20, 2018. The closing date is not provided in the usual sense because there is no competitive application window; the notice explicitly states that it is a notice of intent to award to a single source associated with the announcement. Overall, the document is best read as a transparency and documentation step confirming the agency's plan to add funds to an existing cooperative agreement with Ducks Unlimited to support LMVJV bird conservation coordination.
