Opportunity Information: Apply for F17AS00354
The Department of the Interior, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announced a discretionary funding opportunity under the title "Endagered Species Conservation" (Funding Opportunity Number F17AS00354) focused on supporting red-cockaded woodpecker recovery work. The specific project described is the provision of red-cockaded woodpecker subadult pairs for translocation from the Eglin Air Force Base donor population. In practical terms, the effort centers on acquiring or supporting the collection and movement of young, paired birds from a known, managed source population at Eglin AFB so they can be relocated to other sites where the species needs population reinforcement, consistent with established endangered species conservation and recovery strategies.
This announcement is not a competitive grant solicitation. It is explicitly a Notice of Intent to Sole Source rather than a request for applications, meaning the agency is signaling its plan to make a single award to a specific recipient rather than opening the work up for competition. Because it is a sole-source notice, the typical expectation is that the agency has identified a particular organization with the unique access, qualifications, permits, experience, or logistical capacity needed to carry out the translocation-related work tied to the Eglin AFB donor population.
The planned award is structured as a Cooperative Agreement, which generally indicates a more substantial level of federal involvement than a standard grant. Cooperative agreements are commonly used when the agency expects to collaborate closely with the recipient on project execution, coordination, reporting, and technical decision-making, which fits conservation actions like wildlife capture, handling, transport, and release that require careful planning and adherence to federal and state wildlife regulations and best practices.
The opportunity falls under the Environment activity category and is associated with CFDA number 15.657 (a Fish and Wildlife Service program area used for endangered species and related conservation work). The listed eligible applicant type is "For profit organizations other than small businesses," indicating the intended recipient category is a for-profit entity that does not qualify as a small business, which is somewhat narrower than many conservation opportunities that often target states, tribes, universities, or nonprofits.
Financially, the notice lists an award ceiling of $36,000 with an expectation of one award. That amount suggests a targeted, specific scope of work, such as arranging and conducting translocation activities for a limited number of subadult pairs, covering specialized labor, field operations, travel, equipment, and coordination required to safely move birds from the donor population. The posting was created on August 1, 2017, with an original closing date of August 7, 2017. Given the sole-source nature, that short window is consistent with a public notice period rather than a traditional application window for competitive proposals.
Overall, the opportunity is a narrowly defined, single-award, cooperative agreement action by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to support endangered species conservation through the translocation of red-cockaded woodpecker subadult pairs sourced from Eglin Air Force Base, with a maximum federal funding level of $36,000 and no open call for competing applications.Apply for F17AS00354
