Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Recovery Planning Candidate Conservation Agreements Document Preparation" (Funding Opportunity Number F13AS00264), is a discretionary cooperative agreement issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). The purpose is to support the preparation of formal recovery planning documents and/or Candidate Conservation Agreements by doing the research, analysis, and writing work needed to produce USFWS-ready documents. The project is framed as a documentation and planning effort focused on species conservation under the CFDA program area 15.660 (Endangered Species / Candidate Conservation Action Funds), with the end product being completed planning materials that can guide conservation actions and support agency decision-making.
The scope of work is organized into four repeatable tasks to be carried out for each recovery planning document or conservation agreement. First, the recipient must compile all relevant literature and existing documents for the species, create a thorough reference list, and build an administrative record that captures both the written sources and the important supporting context, including pertinent conversations and all data sources used. Second, the recipient must analyze and synthesize the available information and then organize it using USFWS templates and example formats, ensuring the content aligns with the agency's expectations and standard structure. Third, the recipient must develop a complete draft document and submit it for review and comment by the USFWS Utah Field Office and the USFWS Regional Office. Fourth, the recipient must produce a final version that incorporates agency feedback, resulting in a finished document suitable for USFWS use.
This announcement is not a competitive grant solicitation. It is a Notice of Intent to make a single-source award to the Utah Department of Natural Resources, Division of Wildlife Resources (UDWR). The notice cites Department of the Interior policy (505 DM 2.14 B) as the basis for awarding without competition under the "unique qualifications" justification, meaning UDWR is identified as uniquely qualified to perform the work.
