Updating the Investigation and Monteary Values of Fish and Freshwater Mussell Kills | Apply Online

Opportunity Summary:

The grant opportunity titled "Updating the Investigation and Monetary Values of Fish and Freshwater Mussell Kills" (Funding Opportunity Number F15AS00421) is a discretionary grant administered by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under CFDA 15.608, Fish and Wildlife Management Assistance. The stated purpose is to update a key technical reference used in the field, specifically the "Field Manual for the Investigation of Fish Kills." In practical terms, the work implied by this announcement centers on revising investigation guidance used by professionals responding to fish kill events and related aquatic mortality incidents, and it also signals attention to monetary valuation, meaning the methods and reference values used when estimating economic losses associated with fish and freshwater mussel kills.

This announcement is explicitly not a competitive funding opportunity. It is described as a sole source award, and the agency makes clear that it is "not a request for applications." The decision not to compete the award is justified under Department of the Interior policy, cited as 505 DM 2.14, and is stated to be within the agency's discretion. In other words, the agency intended to fund a specific recipient without opening the opportunity to general applicants, and the public posting functions more as a notice and documentation step than an invitation for proposals.

From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is categorized on Grants.gov as a grant (FundingInstrumentType: Grant) with the activity category listed as Information and Statistics. The posting date and creation date are both August 6, 2015, with an original and current closing date of August 12, 2015, and an archive date of August 31, 2015. The short window between posting and closing is consistent with a notice of intent or sole source action rather than an open competition. The listing shows no cost sharing or matching requirement. It also lists "for profit organizations other than small businesses" under eligible applicants, but that eligibility field is largely moot here because the agency states it is not soliciting applications.

The funding fields in the public listing show $0 for estimated total funding and $0 for both award ceiling and award floor. That typically indicates the posting was not meant to communicate a competed dollar range or that the financial specifics were not provided in the Grants.gov summary record, which can happen with sole source announcements or when the purpose is simply to document the intent and route interested parties to the full announcement materials.

For additional details, the notice points users to Grants.gov and provides a contact for access issues: Stephanie Long at the Fish and Wildlife Service, reachable by phone at 703-358-1749 or by email at stephaniealong@fws.gov.
