Opportunity Information: Apply for F17AS00283
The Natural Resource Damage Assessment, Restoration and Implementation opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F17AS00283) is a Department of the Interior, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service announcement issued through its Division of Ecological Services. It is categorized as a discretionary funding action and uses a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument, which generally indicates an arrangement where the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the funded work (for example, collaboration on planning, technical direction, coordination, oversight, or reporting) rather than simply issuing funds with minimal engagement.
This opportunity sits in the Environment funding activity category and is associated with CFDA 15.658, a program area that has historically supported Fish and Wildlife Service work related to natural resource stewardship and related ecological service functions. The title signals that the work is focused on the full arc of natural resource damage efforts: assessing injuries to natural resources, designing and carrying out restoration actions, and implementing the resulting restoration projects or program activities. In practice, efforts under this type of umbrella often relate to investigating environmental harm, determining the extent of impacts, and carrying out restoration that returns resources and the services they provide back toward baseline conditions, while also supporting the administrative and technical tasks needed to execute restoration effectively.
A key feature of this notice is that it is explicitly not a request for applications. The original closing date field states that it is a Notice of Intent to Issue a Single Source Award, meaning the agency is signaling its plan to make an award to a specific entity rather than conducting a competitive application process. Because it is single source, the posting functions more as a transparency and documentation step than a solicitation inviting proposals from the public. The listing notes an award ceiling of $36,033, which indicates the maximum federal amount anticipated for the planned award. The expected awards field is shown as 0, which can appear in such notices because the item is not structured as an open competition with a forecasted number of awards; instead, it reflects the intent to make a specific award under single-source conditions.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others" with a reference to additional eligibility text for clarification, which typically means eligibility is not limited to a single standard category (such as only state governments or only nonprofits) and may include a range of potential recipients depending on the nature of the work and the intended partner. However, since the notice is for a single-source award, the practical takeaway is that the agency is not seeking new applicants for this particular action, even if multiple entity types might otherwise be eligible under similar programs.
The posting was created on June 27, 2017, and the awarding agency is the Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service. Overall, the notice communicates that the Fish and Wildlife Service, through its ecological services functions, intends to use a cooperative agreement to support a specific, non-competitive project or set of activities related to natural resource damage assessment and restoration implementation, with a modest maximum federal funding level and no open application process.Apply for F17AS00283
