Opportunity Summary:
The Bureau of Reclamation, Mid-Pacific Region, announced its intent to award a discretionary grant agreement to the Nevada Division of State Parks (NSP) under Funding Opportunity Number R12AS20024, titled "Purchase Decontamination Units for Lahontan and Rye Patch Reservoirs." The central purpose of the grant is straightforward: to fund the purchase of three decontamination units and one storage unit that will be used at Lahontan Reservoir and Rye Patch Reservoir in Nevada. The activity falls under the Natural Resources category and is associated with CFDA 15.517 (Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act), indicating the work is tied to protecting aquatic ecosystems and wildlife resources, which commonly includes preventing the spread of aquatic invasive species through watercraft inspection and decontamination.
This announcement is a Notice of Intent to award rather than a competitive solicitation. In other words, it is not asking the public to submit proposals or compete for the funding. Reclamation explicitly notes that the government is relying on an internal policy basis (Departmental Manual 505 DM 2, paragraph 2.14(B)(4)) to justify not competing the financial assistance, and that the decision to proceed this way is entirely at the government's discretion. The opportunity is therefore essentially targeted to NSP as the intended recipient, with an expected number of awards listed as one.
Funding details show an estimated total amount of $118,000, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. The listing shows an award ceiling and floor of $0, which often appears in older grant postings when exact award limits are not expressed through the system fields even though a total estimated funding amount is provided. The posting date and creation date are both May 9, 2012, with an original and current closing date of May 23, 2012, and an archive date of May 24, 2012, indicating it was open for a brief administrative window consistent with a noncompetitive intent-to-award notice rather than an open competition.
Even though the eligible applicant types field includes a wide range of entities (state and local governments, tribal governments and tribal organizations, individuals, special districts, and others), that broad eligibility does not change the practical reality stated in the notice: this specific action is not a request for competitive proposals and is aimed at making an agreement with Nevada State Parks. The announcement also states that Central Contractor Registration (CCR) applies. CCR was the federal registration system used at the time (now incorporated into SAM.gov), meaning the recipient would need to be properly registered in the federal contractor/grantee database to receive the award.
For additional information or help accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Vivian Davis, Grants Management Specialist, Bureau of Reclamation. Contact details provided include email (vdavis@usbr.gov) and phone (916-978-5543).
