Opportunity Summary:
The "Still River Car - Top Boat Launch" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F16AS00180) is a U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service (DOI-FWS/USFWS) discretionary funding action in the Natural Resources category. It is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the project is expected to involve substantial involvement by the federal agency during implementation rather than operating strictly as a hands-off grant.
This posting is not a standard competitive grant solicitation. Instead, it is explicitly a Notice of Intent to make a single-source award, and there is no full funding announcement associated with it. In practical terms, that means USFWS has already identified the intended recipient and is publicly documenting its intent to award without opening a competition to other applicants. The named partner is Housatonic Valley Association, Inc., which would work with USFWS to implement the Still River car-top boat launch project.
The notice also explains the policy basis for not competing the award. USFWS cites Departmental Manual authority (DM 505 DM 2, paragraph 2.14(B)(4)) as the justification for a single-source assistance action, and it states that the decision not to compete is entirely within the government’s discretion. While the posting lists eligibility as "Unrestricted" in the general field, the single-source language and the lack of a full announcement effectively indicate that this is not an open call for proposals and is not seeking alternative applicants.
Key administrative details include a total anticipated award amount capped at $66,020 (the award ceiling) and an expectation of one award. The posting was created and posted on April 28, 2016, with a listed closing date of May 4, 2016, reflecting a short posting window that is typical for notice-type entries meant to document an intended award rather than solicit new applications. The associated CFDA program number is 15.658, linking it to the broader federal assistance program under which the cooperative agreement would be issued.
