Opportunity Summary:
The Resilient Landscapes Longleaf Pine Restoration opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F16AS00104) is a U.S. Department of the Interior, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (DOI-FWS) discretionary funding action being issued as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.608 (Natural Resources). The notice is explicitly a notice of intent to make a single-source award, meaning there is no full competitive funding announcement and no open solicitation process tied to it.
The purpose of the award is to support work led by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Southeast Region Fire Management Division to advance regional restoration of longleaf pine habitat, with the flexibility to address other fire-dependent ecosystems if needed. The funded effort is centered on practical, on-the-ground restoration and fuels management activities that help maintain or re-establish ecological conditions that depend on frequent fire. The scope includes planning, implementing, and monitoring prescribed burns, and it may also include mechanical fuels treatments where burning alone is not sufficient or feasible. In addition, the project includes control of non-native invasive species (NNIS), reflecting a broader restoration approach that pairs fire management with invasive species suppression to improve habitat quality and resilience.
Even though the system fields list "Eligible Applicants: Unrestricted," the narrative makes clear that the Fish and Wildlife Service is not accepting proposals for this funding. The award is intended to go to a single recipient, and the project will be conducted by The Nature Conservancy (TNC). In other words, this notice functions primarily as a transparency and documentation step for a non-competitive, single-source cooperative agreement rather than an opportunity for applicants to compete for funding.
Financially, the expected award amount is up to 65,000 dollars, with one award anticipated. The posting and creation dates are February 10, 2016, and the closing date shown is February 17, 2016. Because this is a notice of intent rather than a competitive announcement, that closing date should be understood as an administrative timeline for the notice rather than a deadline for submitting applications.
The legal authority cited for the work spans multiple conservation and wildlife-related statutes that generally support habitat management, coordination, and protection activities. These include the Fish and Wildlife Act of 1956, the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act, the Sikes Act, the Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act, the Marine Mammal Protection Act, the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act of 1980, the Nonindigenous Aquatic Nuisance Prevention and Control Act, and the Lacey Act (including associated regulatory references). Collectively, these authorities underpin federal involvement in habitat restoration, invasive species control, and related conservation actions that align with the project’s goals.
