Opportunity Summary:
This opportunity is a federal discretionary grant announcement from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service (DOI-FWS) titled "Single Source Award Notification" (Funding Opportunity Number F16AS00107). It is not a broadly competitive solicitation; instead, it is a notice that the Stillwater National Wildlife Refuge Complex (NWRC) intends to make one cooperative agreement award to a specific organization, identified as GBI, using a single-source approach. In practical terms, the posting is primarily informational and signals that the agency plans to move forward with one pre-identified recipient rather than seeking proposals from multiple applicants.
The funding instrument is a Cooperative Agreement, which typically means the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the supported work compared with a standard grant. The activity area is categorized under Environment and is associated with CFDA number 15.608, a Fish and Wildlife Service assistance program area. The announcement anticipates exactly one award, with an award ceiling of $18,308, indicating a small, targeted project budget.
Eligibility is listed as "Nonprofits that do not have a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education." Even though an eligibility category is provided, the single-source nature and the explicit statement that the award is intended for GBI strongly suggest that the opportunity is not open for general competition and is being published to document the agency's intent and maintain transparency.
The timeline is short and fixed: the opportunity was created and posted on February 17, 2016, and the closing date (both original and current) is February 24, 2016. That brief window is consistent with single-source notices, which often appear for a limited period because the recipient and project concept have already been selected or justified internally.
