Opportunity Information: Apply for F18AS00019
The grant opportunity titled "Georeferenced Database of Stream Crossing Structures Located in Identified Focal Watersheds of Puerto Rico" (Funding Opportunity Number F18AS00019) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) discretionary funding action under the Department of the Interior. It is structured as a cooperative agreement in the Natural Resources funding activity category and is associated with CFDA 15.670. The central purpose is to support the development of a georeferenced database of stream crossing structures in selected focal watersheds in Puerto Rico, producing location-based information that can be used to evaluate and address risks and impacts to fish and wildlife resources.
This notice is explicitly not a traditional, competitive grant solicitation. It is a "notice of intent to award" a single-source financial assistance agreement, meaning there is no full public announcement package, no open competition process, and no expectation that multiple applicants will be considered. The agency cites its authority to proceed as a single-source award under 505 DM 2.14(B). In practical terms, this signals that FWS has already identified a specific recipient and is documenting its intent to make the award without soliciting broader applications.
The intended sole recipient is Protectores de Cuencas, Inc. (PDC). The justification described in the notice is that the project will help the Service meet its need for information and collaboration that addresses high-impact management questions about threats to fish and wildlife. The database and associated collaboration are framed as directly supporting FWS responsibilities to manage, mitigate, or recommend actions needed to keep species at healthy, sustainable, desired levels. The notice emphasizes that the Service must rely on the best available science, particularly because its decisions can be scrutinized and must be defensible in regulatory contexts, including biological opinions and conservation recommendations provided to land managers.
The funding amount is capped at an award ceiling of $70,000, with one expected award. Key administrative dates show the opportunity was created on November 3, 2017, with an original closing date of November 9, 2017, though the "closing date" in this context functions more as a posting window for the intent notice rather than an application deadline for competing proposals. Although the eligibility field is listed as "unrestricted," that standard field is overridden by the text of the notice itself, which makes clear the award is intended for a single source and is not open for competitive submissions.
