Opportunity Summary:
The Pacific Birds Habitat Joint Venture (PBHJV) grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F15AS00249) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) discretionary funding announcement issued as a Notice of Intent to Award a single cooperative agreement directly to Ducks Unlimited, Inc. The agency states that no competition is expected under Department of the Interior authority cited as 505 DM 2.14 B(2) and B(4), and it explicitly instructs the public not to apply. In other words, this posting functions mainly as a public notice that the government intends to make a sole-source award, rather than an open solicitation.
The purpose of the agreement is to fund Ducks Unlimited, Inc. to support conservation work carried out through the Pacific Birds Habitat Joint Venture. The overall objective is to advance the PBHJV business model by funding core functions such as conservation planning, project design and implementation support, and evaluation and assessment of outcomes. The activities described are broad and programmatic, covering administration and coordination, partner outreach, on-the-ground habitat management, landscape and species planning, research, monitoring, and evaluation. The work is also expected to align with and contribute to the North American Waterfowl Management Plan and other major bird conservation plans, emphasizing that PBHJV efforts should fit within larger, established conservation strategies. Additional program context is available through the PBHJV website at www.pacificbirds.org.
Financially, the announcement indicates an estimated total funding amount of $652,293, with the award floor and ceiling both set at $652,293, reflecting the expectation of one fixed total award amount. The instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which typically implies substantial federal involvement in the funded work compared with a standard grant. The posting lists one expected award and notes that there is no cost sharing or matching requirement.
Although the eligibility field lists nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education), the announcement makes clear that the award is intended specifically for Ducks Unlimited, Inc. and that applications are not being accepted. Key dates show the opportunity was posted on May 27, 2015, with a closing date of June 2, 2015, and an archive date of June 5, 2015, reinforcing that it was a short, notice-style posting tied to a planned award rather than a competitive process.
For reference or access issues related to the full announcement, the listed agency contact is Bonnie Bates at BonnieBates@fws.gov, and the general listing was available via Grants.gov (with an additional information link provided in the notice).
