Opportunity Summary:
The Virgin River Chub and Woundfin 5 Year Review Document Preparation opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F13AS00266) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) cooperative agreement focused on producing formal 5-year review documentation for two listed fish species, the Virgin River chub and the woundfin. The core purpose is not fieldwork or on-the-ground restoration, but the careful assembly, evaluation, and write-up of existing information into USFWS-compliant recovery planning and conservation review documents. The end product is a set of finalized review documents that reflect the best available science and records, presented in the structure and format the agency uses for its decision-making and recordkeeping.
The work described is organized into four straightforward deliverables for each recovery planning document or conservation agreement. First, the recipient must compile all relevant literature and any documents already on file for the species, build a complete reference list, and document key conversations and data sources in an administrative record. Second, the recipient must analyze and synthesize the collected information and then organize it using USFWS templates and example documents, which is meant to ensure consistency with federal review standards. Third, the recipient must write a draft review document and submit it for USFWS review and comment, specifically involving both the Utah Field Office and the Regional Office. Fourth, the recipient must revise and produce a final document that fully incorporates USFWS feedback on the draft, resulting in a final, agency-ready product.
This announcement is explicitly a Notice of Intent to make a single-source award rather than a competitive grant process. The expected number of awards is one, and the intended recipient is the Utah Department of Natural Resources, Division of Wildlife Resources (UDWR). The notice explains that the award is being made without competition under Department of the Interior policy (505 DM 2.14 B), citing the justification category of "Unique Qualifications." In other words, USFWS is documenting that UDWR is uniquely positioned to carry out the required work, which is why other applicants are not being solicited under this posting.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary and uses a cooperative agreement instrument, which typically implies meaningful agency involvement during performance (for example, iterative review, coordination on templates and expectations, and guided revisions). The total funding amount is fixed at $24,000, with the award floor and ceiling both listed as $24,000, indicating the agency anticipated a single award at that exact amount. No cost sharing or matching is required. The program is associated with CFDA number 15.660, Endangered Species - Candidate Conservation Action Funds, tying the work to federal endangered species conservation and review responsibilities.
Timing details show the posting date and creation date as July 24, 2013, with an original and current closing date of July 29, 2013, and an archive date of August 24, 2013. The short window aligns with the fact that this is a notice of intent for a pre-identified single-source recipient rather than an open competition. For additional information or help accessing the announcement, the listed USFWS contact is Paul Abate at the Utah Field Office, with a phone number (801-975-3330 ext. 126) and email (paulabate@fws.gov).
