Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Transport injured, ill, and orphaned wildlife from San Diego Bay to rehabilitation center" (Funding Opportunity Number N62473 14 2 0009), is a Navy-led cooperative agreement focused on responding to wildlife injuries and safety conflicts that occur on and around Navy installations in the San Diego area. The work is tied directly to the reality that many birds and other wildlife live in close proximity to active military operations, maintenance areas, hazardous materials, energized equipment, and waterfront infrastructure. As a result, animals are sometimes injured or placed in situations where they pose a safety concern to themselves or to personnel, such as birds falling from rooftop or tree nests near buildings, herons and egrets weakened by steatitis wandering into occupied areas, and seabirds getting tangled in fishing line and sheltering around docks and ships.
The central purpose of the cooperative agreement is twofold. First, it supports on-the-ground rescue, pickup, and transport of injured, ill, and orphaned wildlife (explicitly excluding marine mammals) from Navy properties and adjacent areas, including San Diego Bay settings, to licensed wildlife rehabilitation agencies or organizations. The announcement anticipates roughly 100 to 150 individual birds and animals requiring rescue and transport over the period of performance. Second, it requires collection of research and monitoring information to help identify and track the causes of wildlife injury and mortality over time. That data component is meant to help the Navy understand changing patterns and contributing factors, so it can adjust management practices proactively and reduce future incidents while maintaining operational readiness.
A major driver behind the opportunity is compliance with federal natural resource protection and conservation requirements that apply to military lands and activities. The announcement specifically notes obligations under laws such as the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and the Sikes Act, and frames the work as necessary to meet monitoring and conservation responsibilities while allowing training and operations to continue. In practical terms, the selected partner would be expected to respond when wildlife interacts with Navy activities or infrastructure in a way that creates risk or results in injury, ensure that handling and transport are performed in accordance with applicable state and federal laws, and document findings in a way that supports adaptive management decisions.
Administratively, the opportunity is offered by the Naval Facilities Engineering Command under the "Natural Resources" activity category, using a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument. The listing shows one expected award with a total funding amount of $7,014, with the award floor and ceiling both set at $7,014, and no cost sharing or matching requirement. Eligibility is listed as unrestricted, meaning it is broadly open to different types of entities, subject to any additional eligibility notes that may have been included in the full announcement. The opportunity was posted May 13, 2014, created July 11, 2014, originally closed June 12, 2014, and later extended with a current closing date of June 30, 2014, with an archive date of August 18, 2014. The CFDA number associated with the listing is 12.300, described as Basic and Applied Scientific Research. For access issues or questions tied to the announcement, the listed Navy contact is Contract Specialist Elia Ram, reachable by phone at 619 532 3074 or 619 532 2195, or by email at elia.ram@navy.mil.
