Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Palos Verdes Blue Butterfly," is a Navy-led cooperative agreement focused on continued conservation work for the federally endangered Palos Verdes blue butterfly (Glaucopsyche lygdamus paloverdesensis). The species was rediscovered in 1994 at the Defense Fuel Support Point (DFSP) in San Pedro, California after roughly a decade of being presumed extinct. Historically, the butterfly was only known from the Palos Verdes Peninsula, so the San Pedro rediscovery triggered urgent action by the Department of Defense, including the Defense Logistics Agency and the Department of the Navy, to stabilize and recover the species while meeting responsibilities under the Endangered Species Act. The program is described as one of the Department of Defense's notable conservation successes and has received significant recognition, including attention from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
The proposed funding supports ongoing efforts that are considered essential to the butterfly's long-term survival, specifically captive rearing, breeding, and population surveys. The work is guided by an existing U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Biological Opinion (2010) tied to formal Section 7 consultation for routine maintenance operations at DFSP San Pedro in Los Angeles County. In practical terms, the project continues maintaining and breeding captive stock and conducting monitoring to track population status and trends. A key element is that captive rearing and breeding will be conducted at two sites already identified by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service: a primary site at DFSP San Pedro and a secondary site at Moorpark College in Moorpark, California, which functions as an additional rearing and breeding location to support redundancy and resiliency.
Administratively, the opportunity is offered by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement instrument, within the environment activity category. The grant is structured as a single expected award with a total estimated funding amount of $100,164, and both the award ceiling and floor are listed as $100,164, indicating a fixed award size rather than a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The CFDA listing provided is 12.300, Basic and Applied Scientific Research. Eligibility is broadly described as open to any potential cooperator that qualifies under DoDGARS Parts 32, 33, and 34, with the eligible applicant category listed as "Others" with additional clarification referenced in the full announcement.
Key dates in the posting indicate it was posted November 21, 2014, created December 10, 2014, with an original closing date of December 8, 2014 that was later extended to a current closing date of December 21, 2014, and an archive date of December 22, 2014.
