Opportunity Summary:

The funding opportunity titled "Vulnerability Analysis of Western Water Resources to Climate Variability and Change" (Funding Opportunity Number R10FC80050) is a federal notice issued by the Bureau of Reclamation, Denver Office, under the WaterSMART program (CFDA 15.507). The purpose of the announcement is to inform the public of the governments intent to make a single cooperative agreement award related to analyzing how water resources in the western United States may be affected by climate variability and climate change. The activity category is listed under Natural Resources, reflecting a focus on water supply reliability, hydrology, and risk or vulnerability assessment tied to changing climate conditions.

This notice is explicitly not a request for applications. In other words, it is not an open, competitive grant solicitation where multiple organizations can apply. Instead, it serves as a public notification that the government plans to make an award on a single source basis, as described in a separate attached Notice of Intent to Award referenced in the announcement. The eligibility field also reinforces that applicants are not being sought and that any eligibility details would be tied to the single-source intent described in the attachment. Although the listing shows "Eligible Applicants: Others," the key point is that the announcement is informational rather than invitational, and it is associated with a predetermined single recipient arrangement rather than a broad competition.

The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates substantial federal involvement in the project beyond what is typical for a standard grant. The announcement anticipates one award total. The estimated total funding is $120,000, with an award ceiling of $120,000 and an award floor of $35,000. No cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated, meaning the recipient is not expected to provide mandatory matching funds as a condition of the award, based on the information provided in the listing.

Key dates shown in the record include a posted date of December 9, 2009, with both the original and current closing date listed as December 19, 2009, and an archive date of December 10, 2010. Even though a closing date is listed, the text makes clear the item is a notice of intent rather than an application window for the general public, so the date functions more as an administrative timeline marker for the announcement record than as a competitive submission deadline.

For access issues or questions about the full announcement materials, the contact listed is Randale Jackson, Contract Specialist/Grants Officer, at (303) 445-2432.
