Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Release of Captive Bred San Clemente Loggerhead Shrike on San Clemente Island, California" (Funding Opportunity Number N62473 08 R RELEASE), was a discretionary federal grant offered by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) to support a natural resources conservation action on San Clemente Island. The core purpose of the project was straightforward and highly targeted: to release captive-reared San Clemente Loggerhead Shrikes on San Clemente Island during calendar year 2008, as part of efforts to bolster the island population of this sensitive bird.
The award mechanism was a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that the federal agency expected to be substantially involved in the project beyond simply providing funds, such as coordinating schedules, aligning release activities with installation operations, or participating in planning and oversight. The opportunity anticipated making a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1), with an estimated total funding amount of $326,000. The funding cap matched the estimated total (AwardCeiling: $326,000), suggesting the agency intended one fully funded project rather than multiple smaller awards. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning applicants were not required to contribute non-federal funds to be considered competitive or eligible.
The opportunity fell under the Natural Resources funding activity category and was associated with CFDA number 12.300, described as Basic and Applied Scientific Research. While the project itself was operational (releasing captive-reared birds), the CFDA alignment suggests the work was considered part of a broader applied conservation and management effort that may include planning, monitoring, coordination with captive breeding programs, and evaluation of release outcomes.
Eligibility was limited to certain organization types: public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education, which were already listed separately). This eligibility scope points to the agency seeking qualified conservation, wildlife biology, or academic partners capable of handling wildlife release logistics and the associated compliance, reporting, and coordination needs required for work on a military-managed island environment.
The timeline for the announcement was short. It was posted and created on January 7, 2008, with an original and current closing date of January 17, 2008, providing a 10-day window for submissions. The announcement was later archived on February 16, 2008, consistent with the opportunity being time-bound and tied to releases planned for the 2008 calendar year.
For applicants needing help accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Joseph Brown, Contract Specialist and Cooperative Agreement Administrator, reachable by phone at (619) 532-1266. This contact structure reinforces that the agreement was administered in a contracting or grants management context, typical for cooperative agreements managed through a facilities engineering command supporting environmental stewardship responsibilities on Department of the Navy lands.
