Opportunity Summary:
The Sonoran Joint Venture Travel Support - Winter Survey for Pacific Black Brant grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F13AS00053) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), Region 2 notice stating the agency's intent to make a single-source grant award without competition. This is not a request for proposals, meaning the public is not being invited to apply and there is no open competition or submission window. The notice was posted on January 17, 2013 and later archived on February 28, 2013.
The purpose of the planned award is to support coordination and implementation of winter survey work for the Pacific black brant across its wintering range in Mexico. The emphasis is on travel support and logistical coordination so that survey teams can efficiently conduct monitoring activities, presumably to improve understanding of population distribution, abundance, and habitat use during the winter season. This work aligns with the Migratory Bird Joint Ventures program area (CFDA 15.637), which supports collaborative, landscape-scale conservation and monitoring of migratory birds through partnerships.
The agency indicates it will award funds under an existing multi-year grant agreement that runs from August 31, 2012 through August 31, 2017. The intended recipient is Terra Peninsular, identified as the single-source awardee. The Department of the Interior guidance cited (505 DM 2) is the authority used to justify making a non-competitive, single-source award, typically when there is a clear programmatic reason that one organization is uniquely positioned to carry out the work or when continuity under an existing agreement is important.
The expected award amount is stated as a range, with an award floor of $21,600 and an award ceiling of $130,000. While the listing shows an "Estimated Total Funding" value of 0, the award range clarifies the anticipated size of the grant. No cost sharing or matching is required for this award. Although the listing marks eligible applicants as "unrestricted," that field is effectively overridden by the main announcement text because the action is a notice of intent to award to a single organization rather than an open solicitation.
For more information or help accessing the full announcement, the notice provides a contact: Greg Esslinger, Migratory Bird Management Operations Specialist at USFWS. He can be reached by phone at 505-248-6876 or by email at GregEsslinger@fws.gov. The listing also references Grants.gov as the source for the announcement details.
