Opportunity Summary:
The Pahranagat Valley Cooperative Recovery Initiiative (Funding Opportunity Number F13AS00178) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service discretionary funding action focused on an environmental and fish and wildlife management need in Pahranagat Valley, Nevada. The stated purpose of the program is to correct the water supply that provides water flow to the Key Pittman refugium population of the Pahranagat roundtail chub, meaning the effort is aimed at improving or stabilizing the hydrologic conditions that keep water moving through the refugium habitat that supports this fish population. In practical terms, the opportunity is framed as a recovery-oriented project where maintaining reliable water flow is central to species persistence and habitat function.
The award instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency in carrying out the project (for example, coordination on technical approach, monitoring, or implementation details). The program is tied to CFDA number 15.608, Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance, and it does not require cost sharing or a match. The total estimated funding is $90,000, and the award floor and ceiling are both $90,000, signaling that the agency anticipated making one award for a fixed amount rather than a range of possible award sizes. The posting date and creation date were May 21, 2013, with a closing date of June 5, 2013, and the opportunity was archived on June 6, 2013.
Although the eligibility field is listed as “Unrestricted,†the announcement is explicitly a Notice of Intent to Award a Single Source, with repeated language stating that no competition is expected and applicants should not apply. That means the agency had already identified a specific recipient and was publishing the notice to meet transparency and administrative requirements, not to solicit proposals from the public. The opportunity anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) under this single-source approach.
For reference and administrative follow-up, the announcement points to Grants.gov as the additional information link, and provides a contact for access issues: Brenda Krone, Grants Specialist, at 775-861-6314 or brendakrone@fws.gov.
