Opportunity Summary:
The Panther Prey Research opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00418) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) discretionary funding action in the form of a cooperative agreement, focused on natural resources research and development. The purpose is to support research related to panther prey on refuge lands in Southwest Florida. The work is intended to be carried out at a large, landscape scale spanning roughly 150,000 acres across a mix of state and federal lands, which is a major reason the agency structured this as a coordinated, single-lead effort rather than a multi-recipient competition.
This posting is explicitly a notice of intent to make a single-source award, meaning it is not an open solicitation and there is no full competitive announcement attached. USFWS stated it intends to award the cooperative agreement to Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation, Inc. (FWC). The rationale provided is that the organization is uniquely qualified to perform the work at the necessary scale and that maintaining scientific integrity depends on coordination through one project leader from FWC. The notice also explains that the decision not to compete the award is based on departmental policy (cited as 505 DM 2.14, B.(2)) and is within the agency's discretion.
From a funding standpoint, the listing indicates an expected number of awards of one, with an award ceiling of $25,000 and no stated cost-sharing or matching requirement. The estimated total funding is shown as $0 in the data field, which sometimes appears in notices like this when final funding amounts are pending internal action or when the posting is primarily informational rather than a standard competitive grant cycle. The award is associated with CFDA number 15.631 (Partners for Fish and Wildlife). Eligible applicants are listed as "unrestricted" in the standard field, but the text makes clear that this is not a request for applications and the award is intended for a specific recipient, so outside entities should not interpret the eligibility field as an invitation to apply.
Key dates in the notice include a posted and creation date of August 28, 2014, an original and current closing date of September 2, 2014, and an archive date of August 27, 2015. The short window around the closing date reflects the administrative nature of the notice (publicly documenting intent to award) rather than a period for proposal development and submission. For access issues or questions about the announcement record, the contact listed is Nijua Heard at USFWS (404-679-4146, NijuaHeard@fws.gov).
