Opportunity Summary:
The Pacific Coast Joint Venture (Funding Opportunity Number F13AS00181) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service discretionary grant published as a cooperative agreement to support bird and habitat conservation work carried out through the Pacific Coast Joint Venture (PCJV). This listing is not a typical open grant competition. It is a formal Notice of Intent to Award, issued under specific Department of the Interior policy authorities (505 DM 2.14 B(2) and B(4)), and it explicitly states that no competition is expected and that other parties should not apply. In practical terms, the announcement serves primarily as a public notice that the Service intends to make a single award to Ducks Unlimited, Inc. to carry out PCJV-related conservation activities.
The purpose of the agreement is to provide funding support to Ducks Unlimited, Inc. in its role supporting the PCJV business model, with an emphasis on the full conservation cycle: planning, designing and implementing projects, and evaluating and assessing outcomes. The work described is broad and programmatic rather than a single on-the-ground construction project. It includes administrative coordination, outreach and partnership engagement, habitat management, conservation planning, research, monitoring, and evaluation. The announcement also makes clear that PCJV activities funded under this agreement should align with the objectives of the North American Waterfowl Management Plan and other major bird conservation plans, meaning the work is intended to fit within established continental and regional bird conservation strategies rather than operate as a standalone effort.
Financially, the opportunity is structured as a single, fixed-amount award: the estimated total funding is $664,473, and both the award ceiling and floor are listed as $664,473, which signals the agency anticipated one award at that exact amount. Cost sharing or matching is not required. The opportunity lists the CFDA program number 15.637 (Migratory Bird Joint Ventures), connecting it to the Fish and Wildlife Service joint venture framework that coordinates habitat conservation for migratory birds through regional partnerships.
The timeline in the public posting indicates it was posted May 23, 2013, created May 28, 2013, with an original and current closing date of June 11, 2013, and an archive date of June 12, 2013. Even though a closing date is provided (as is common in grants.gov style records), the key instruction remains that the award was intended to be non-competitive and directed, so the closing date does not represent an open window for general applicants. The eligibility field mentions certain nonprofit categories, but the narrative controls the practical reality: the Service intended to fund Ducks Unlimited, Inc. without competition.
For additional program context, the announcement points readers to the PCJV website (www.pcjv.org/home/), which typically contains the joint venture’s conservation strategies, focal species and habitats, and partnership structure. The listed government point of contact for access issues or questions is Bonnie Bates with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (phone 503-231-6246, email BonnieBates@fws.gov).
