Opportunity Summary:
The "Ute Tribe Sclerocactus Management Planning" grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F15AS00189) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) discretionary grant intended to support the Ute Indian Tribe in developing a conservation management plan focused on Sclerocactus on Tribal lands, along with the required environmental review documentation. It is structured as a single-source notice of intent to award to the Ute Indian Tribe under Department of the Interior policy (505 DM 2.14 B(4), "Unique Qualifications"), meaning it was not a broadly competed opportunity and is specifically aimed at the Tribe as the eligible recipient.
The core purpose of the award is planning and compliance work tied to species conservation and federal environmental review. Funding falls under CFDA 15.615, the Cooperative Endangered Species Conservation Fund, and it also anticipates coordination under the Endangered Species Act (ESA), including formal or informal ESA Section 7 consultation steps. No cost sharing or matching requirement is listed, so the Tribe would not be expected to contribute required matching funds as a condition of the award.
Work under the agreement is organized around coordination meetings, public involvement, interagency consultation, and production of both draft and final planning documents. Specifically, the scope includes three meetings between Ute Indian Tribe representatives and contractors chosen by the Tribe to guide and oversee development of the plan and related materials. It also includes one public scoping meeting, which is meant to gather early input on the proposed Sclerocactus Conservation Management Plan and its associated Environmental Assessment (EA), helping define issues, alternatives, and concerns to be addressed in the EA. In addition, there are three meetings between the Tribe, FWS, and the selected contractors explicitly to support ESA Section 7 consultation, ensuring the conservation approach and any related actions are aligned with federal endangered species requirements.
The deliverables are clear and sequential. First, the grantee and its contractors must produce a draft Sclerocactus Conservation Management Plan for Ute Indian Tribe lands along with a draft Environmental Assessment for review. After receiving and addressing comments, the project culminates in a final Sclerocactus Conservation Management Plan and final EA that incorporate feedback and any necessary revisions requested by the Tribe and FWS. The final product must be provided in both hard copy and electronic formats, which signals the agency expects a complete, publication-ready plan package suitable for implementation and recordkeeping.
In terms of timing and funding level, the opportunity was posted April 20, 2015 and closed April 27, 2015, with an archive date of May 20, 2015. The estimated total funding is $68,000, with an award ceiling of $68,000 and an award floor of $10,000, and the agency expected to make one award. The funding instrument type is a grant, and the activity category is listed as "Other," reflecting that this is specialized planning and compliance work rather than a standard research or construction category.
