Opportunity Summary:
Funding Opportunity Number F14AS00379, titled "Regional Monitoring Protocol for Coastal California Gnatcatcher," is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service discretionary funding action focused on environmental conservation work, specifically the implementation of a regional monitoring protocol for the coastal California gnatcatcher. The activity falls under CFDA 15.656 (Habitat Enhancement, Restoration and Improvement) and is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the agency expects to have substantial involvement during the project rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The stated purpose is straightforward: to put a coordinated, regional monitoring approach into practice for this species in coastal California, supporting consistent data collection and management across the region.
This notice is explicitly labeled as a "Notice of Intent to Award a Single Source," meaning the agency has already identified the intended recipient and does not plan to hold a competitive solicitation. The announcement repeats this point clearly: no competition is expected and applicants are instructed not to apply. Even though the eligibility field is listed as "unrestricted" in a general sense, that is effectively overridden by the single-source intent language, which signals that the award will be directed to a specific partner based on agency determination (for example, due to unique expertise, continuity of ongoing work, or other justifications commonly used for single-source actions).
The funding details are narrowly defined. The opportunity anticipates one award with an estimated total funding amount of $60,000, and both the award ceiling and floor are also $60,000, indicating a fixed expected award size rather than a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award. The posting date and creation date are both August 6, 2014, with an original and current closing date of August 15, 2014, and an archive date of September 1, 2014, reflecting that this was a short administrative window tied to the notice rather than an open competition period.
For assistance with accessing the full announcement or related materials, the listed contact is Anne Robb at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, reachable by phone at 760-431-9440 or by email at annerobb@fws.gov.
