Opportunity Summary:
The Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe Aquatic Invasive Species Prevention Program is a discretionary grant opportunity announced by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation (Mid-Pacific Region). The agency issued this as a Notice of Intent (NOI) to make a single grant award to the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe, using CFDA 15.517 under the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act of 1934 (16 U.S.C. 661 et seq., as amended), along with related Bureau of Reclamation authority cited as 255 DM 1.1B. The opportunity is categorized under environmental activities and is specifically geared toward preventing the introduction or spread of aquatic invasive species in Pyramid Lake.
The core purpose of the funding is narrowly defined: to purchase one boat decontamination unit. This equipment would be used to clean boats that arrive at Pyramid Lake and are not already in compliance with the commonly required “clean, drained, and dry” standard. In practical terms, the project is aimed at reducing the risk that invasive organisms (for example, invasive mussels or other hitchhiking species) could be transported into the lake on watercraft, trailers, or associated gear, which can have serious long-term ecological and economic impacts.
Financially, the award is set at approximately $29,530.30 (listed as $29,531 in the opportunity totals), with the award ceiling and floor both fixed at $29,531, indicating the agency anticipated one award at a specific amount rather than a range of possible award sizes. The expected number of awards is one, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not required to contribute additional non-federal funds to receive the award.
In terms of eligibility and competition, this announcement is not a request for competitive proposals. The eligible applicant category is federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and the notice makes clear that the government intends to proceed with a non-competitive award to the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe. The rationale for not competing the assistance is tied to Departmental Manual 505 DM 2, paragraph 2.14(B)(4), and the decision to use this non-competitive approach is stated to be solely within the government’s discretion.
Administratively, the announcement notes that System for Award Management (SAM) requirements apply, meaning any entity receiving federal financial assistance must maintain appropriate registration in SAM. The posting date and creation date were July 17, 2014, with an original and current closing date of August 1, 2014, and an archive date of August 2, 2014. For questions or issues accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Vivian Davis, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by email at vdavis@usbr.gov.
