Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Sleeping Ute Milkvetch Plant Surveys and Habitat Assessment on Ute Mountain Ute Tribal Land" (Funding Opportunity Number F15AS00174) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service funding notice focused on field surveys and habitat-related assessment work for the Sleeping Ute milkvetch, a rare plant associated with Ute Mountain Ute Tribal lands. The work is scheduled specifically for the spring growing season, with survey efforts to be carried out in April and May of 2015, when the plant is most likely to be detectable and identifiable in the field. The practical goal is to confirm where the species is currently present, document conditions at known locations, and improve understanding of nearby areas that may support the species even if it has not been recorded there recently.
A central requirement of the project is to survey all known occupied sites, meaning every location where the Sleeping Ute milkvetch has previously been documented as present. In addition to those confirmed locations, the project includes a directed expansion component aimed at improving coverage of potentially suitable habitat. The announcement describes two alternative approaches for that added work: either survey three additional hills to the southeast that were identified in earlier work (specifically referenced as Colyer 2000), or revisit 11 sites that were previously characterized as unoccupied in that same reference. In other words, the grant supports both a full check of known populations and a targeted effort to either explore new nearby terrain that might contain overlooked plants or to re-check earlier negative sites where the plant could have been missed, could have newly established, or could be detectable under different seasonal or climatic conditions.
From an administrative and eligibility standpoint, this notice is not an open competitive solicitation. It is explicitly a notice of intent to make a single-source award to the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe, done under Department of the Interior policy 505 DM 2. That matters because it means the agency has already determined the intended recipient and is publicly documenting the planned award rather than inviting broad applications from multiple entities. The funding instrument is a grant, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary, and the activity category is listed as "Other," with the explanation clarifying the single-source intent.
The funding level is modest and tightly bounded, reflecting a focused, short-duration field effort. The estimated total funding is $25,000, with an award ceiling of $25,000 and an award floor of $20,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not required to contribute additional non-federal funds to receive the award. The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.660, which corresponds to Endangered Species and Candidate Conservation Action Funds, signaling that the project aligns with conservation priorities for at-risk species and proactive conservation actions.
Timing and lifecycle details show this was a brief posting designed mainly for transparency around the planned award. The opportunity was posted and created on April 9, 2015, with an original and current closing date of April 16, 2015, and it was archived on May 9, 2015. Only one award was expected. For questions or access issues related to the full announcement, the listed contact was Ellen Mayo at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (phone 970-628-7184, email ellenmayo@fws.gov).
