Opportunity Summary:
The Ranchers Supply, Inc. opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F15AS00295) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service notice of intent to make a single-source award, meaning it is not a competitive grant and there is no full funding announcement to apply to. The Service states up front that this is not a request for applications and that the decision not to compete the award is allowed under departmental policy (505 DM 2.14, B.(2)) and is within the agency's discretion. In practical terms, this listing functions mainly as a public notice that the government plans to continue work with a specific recipient rather than inviting proposals from the wider community.
The intended award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, listed under the "Grant" funding instrument type and categorized under Education and Environment, with the program tied to CFDA 15.657, Endangered Species Conservation - Recovery Implementation Funds. The rationale given for the single-source approach is that the recipient has unique qualifications and technical expertise, and that the work is a follow-on requirement for continued provision of highly specialized services. The notice explains that these services can only be provided by the original source, which is the standard justification agencies use when continuity, proprietary knowledge, specialized capacity, or prior work history makes replacing the provider impractical or risky to mission outcomes.
The opportunity anticipated one award with an estimated total funding amount of $30,740. No cost sharing or matching is required. The posting and creation dates were June 25, 2015, with an original and current closing date of July 2, 2015, and an archive date of July 3, 2015. Although the eligibility field is marked "unrestricted," the accompanying eligibility language makes clear that this does not translate into open competition because applications are not being solicited; the listing is informational rather than solicitational.
For anyone seeking additional details or experiencing difficulty accessing the notice electronically, the contact listed is Kerri Heywood at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, reachable at 404-679-4066 or kerriheywood@fws.gov. The posting also references an additional information link on Grants.gov.
