Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) intention to make a single source award for saiga antelope conservation work in Eurasia. It is explicitly not a call for proposals and not open for competitive applications. Instead, it serves as a public transparency posting that USFWS plans to fund a specific partner without full and open competition, consistent with Department of the Interior guidance (505 DM 2.14). The project falls under environmental and natural resources activities and is issued by the USFWS Division of International Conservation.
The planned award is a cooperative agreement for $55,000, with exactly one expected award and a fixed award floor and ceiling of $55,000. The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number F13AS00297 and is associated with CFDA 15.650 (Research Grants - Generic). A cost sharing or matching component is required, and the Saiga Conservation Alliance (SCA) is noted as contributing an additional $5,050 of its own resources toward the effort.
The only eligible applicant is the Saiga Conservation Alliance, a U.K.-registered charity. USFWS justifies the single source selection by pointing to SCA's specialized qualifications: deep expertise in saiga conservation, established networks across the Central Asian range states where the species occurs, and a demonstrated ability to administer an international small grants program. A major practical advantage highlighted is SCA's multilingual capacity and outreach reach, with communications conducted in six languages (English, Chinese, Kazakh, Mongolian, Russian, and Uzbek), enabling effective coordination across multiple countries and stakeholders.
The purpose of the cooperative agreement is to jointly manage a small grants competition within the saiga antelope range states. In other words, the federal funding is intended to support a structured process where smaller on-the-ground conservation projects can be competitively selected and funded in countries where saigas live, leveraging SCA's regional connections, scientific membership, and prior administrative experience. The notice also emphasizes that SCA's membership includes leading saiga scientists and conservation practitioners from many nations, reinforcing its credibility and technical capacity to oversee such a program.
Timing details in the listing reflect the administrative lifecycle of the notice rather than an application window for the public. The posting date and creation date are August 6, 2013, with an original and current closing date of August 12, 2013, and an archive date of September 11, 2013. Because this is a single source intent to award, those dates function mainly as the public notice period rather than an opportunity for new applicants to compete.
For further information, the listed agency contact is Cory Brown, International Affairs Specialist at USFWS, reachable by phone at 703-358-2221 or by email at corybrown@fws.gov.
