Opportunity Summary:
The Corps Networks 2012 Annual Forum (Funding Opportunity Number F12AS00048) was a discretionary grant announcement from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service focused on education and training support through sponsorship of The Corps Network's annual forum. The opportunity fell under CFDA 15.649, Service Training and Technical Assistance (Generic Training), which signals that the funding was intended to support capacity-building, professional development, and technical assistance activities rather than on-the-ground construction or direct service delivery alone. In practical terms, the grant purpose was straightforward: provide financial sponsorship for the annual forum hosted by The Corps Network.
This funding notice was structured as a single expected award with a total estimated funding amount of $10,000. The award ceiling and floor were both set at $10,000, meaning the grant was essentially fixed at that amount rather than a range. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient was not expected to provide a required non-federal match as a condition of the award.
A key feature of this announcement is that it was not a competitive funding opportunity. The eligibility language makes clear there was no application process. Instead, it served as a public notice of intent to make a single-source award directly to The Corps Network, justified under Department of the Interior policy cited as 505 DM 2.14B(1) and (4). Single-source language like this indicates the agency had determined that a specific organization was uniquely positioned to carry out the sponsored activity or that other qualifying circumstances applied under the agency's grant-making rules. As a result, other organizations should not have expected to submit proposals or compete for the funding, even though the listing appeared in the general grants portal.
The timeline reflected the administrative nature of the notice. It was posted on February 1, 2012, with an original and current closing date of February 3, 2012, and an archive date of February 10, 2012. Those short windows are consistent with notices that are primarily for transparency and recordkeeping rather than for soliciting applications. Anyone trying to access the full announcement or needing help with the electronic posting was directed to contact Tracy Mccleaf at the Fish and Wildlife Service (304-876-7781, tracymccleaf@fws.gov). The announcement also referenced Grants.gov as the location for additional information.
