Opportunity Information: Apply for F17AS00398
The federal grant notice titled "Cooperative Landscape Conservation" (Funding Opportunity Number F17AS00398) is not a competitive solicitation and should not be treated like a normal request for proposals. It is a notice of intent from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service stating that the agency plans to make a single-source award, meaning it intends to fund one specific organization without opening the opportunity to competition. The announcement is explicit that it is "NOT A RFP" and exists primarily to document the agency's intention to proceed with a sole-source financial assistance agreement.
The planned award will be issued as a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that the Fish and Wildlife Service expects to have substantial involvement in the funded activities, such as collaborating on work planning, providing technical direction, or coordinating implementation. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding within the Natural Resources activity area and is associated with CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) number 15.669, which is commonly used for Fish and Wildlife Service-related assistance programs.
Even though the eligibility field is listed as "Unrestricted" in the standard data, the narrative makes clear that this particular action is intended for one recipient: the Wildlife Management Institute. The agency cites its authority to make this single-source award under Departmental policy (505 DM 2.14 (B) 2), which is an internal DOI reference describing circumstances under which non-competitive financial assistance can be justified.
The funding amount is relatively modest, with an award ceiling of $44,000, and the agency expects to make only one award. The notice was created on August 14, 2017, with an original closing date of August 18, 2017, reflecting a short posting window that is typical for single-source intent notices where the purpose is transparency rather than open competition. Overall, this posting signals an administrative step toward finalizing a cooperative agreement with the Wildlife Management Institute for cooperative landscape conservation-related work, rather than an invitation for other applicants to submit proposals.Apply for F17AS00398
