Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Riparian Brush Rabbit Captive Propagation" (Funding Opportunity Number 09SS200027), is a continuation effort from the Bureau of Reclamation, Mid-Pacific Regional Office, focused on supporting conservation work for the riparian brush rabbit (Sylvilagus bachmani riparius). The central purpose is to provide financial assistance to maintain an ongoing captive breeding, propagation, and release program for this federally listed endangered subspecies. The work is meant to help sustain and recover the riparian brush rabbit population by keeping captive propagation operations running and supporting releases back into suitable habitat.
The Bureau of Reclamation planned to make a single award using a Cooperative Agreement, with an estimated total funding amount of $85,000. The award floor and ceiling were both listed at $85,000, meaning the planned agreement amount was fixed at that level. The estimated award date was on or about April 1, 2009, and the period of performance was scheduled to run from the date of award through June 30, 2009. No cost sharing or matching funds were required under this opportunity.
A key detail is that this was not a competitive grant solicitation. Reclamation issued the notice as an intent to make a sole-source award under CESU agreement number 3FC810873 to California State University, Stanislaus (One University Circle, Turlock, CA 95382). The agency cited its authority to proceed without competition under relevant departmental policy (Departmental Manual 505 DM 2, paragraph 2.14(B)(4)), and explicitly stated that the determination not to compete was at the government’s discretion. Because it was a sole-source continuation, the notice emphasized that it was not requesting competitive proposals from other applicants.
The program authority and legal foundation for the funding were tied to federal fish and wildlife conservation mandates, specifically the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (16 U.S.C. Section 661 et seq.) and the Endangered Species Act of 1973 (16 U.S.C. Section 1531 et seq.). The activity category was listed as "Environment," and the eligible applicant type was public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, aligning with the planned recipient being a public university.
Administratively, the announcement included standard federal registration requirements at the time, noting that Central Contractor Registration (CCR) applied (with registration information referenced at http://www.ccr.gov). The posting date was March 5, 2009, with a closing date of March 18, 2009, and an archive date of April 17, 2009. For questions, the listed point of contact was Maria E. Castaneda at the Bureau of Reclamation (email: mcastaneda@mp.usbr.gov; phone: 916-978-5148), identified as the contract specialist for the announcement.
