Opportunity Information: Apply for F17AS00467
This opportunity is a U.S. Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) notice of intent to make a single-source award connected to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. It is not a standard competitive grant solicitation and it does not have a full public announcement package associated with it. In practical terms, that means the agency is signaling its plan to fund one identified recipient rather than inviting multiple applicants to submit proposals for selection.
The funding mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates a more hands-on relationship between the federal agency and the recipient than a typical grant. Cooperative agreements are commonly used when the federal agency expects to remain substantially involved in the project activities, coordination, or decision-making as the work progresses. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding, and the activity category is listed as "Other," suggesting the work is specialized support rather than a conventional research, construction, or direct service program.
The work described is centered on technical assistance the USFWS intends to provide. The notice highlights several concrete areas of support: reporting damaged markers, evaluating sign plans, sharing data, and providing other assistance as needed. Read plainly, the project appears to involve field or site markers (such as boundary, conservation, navigation, or informational markers) and signage planning, with an emphasis on identifying and documenting damage, reviewing or improving planned signage approaches, and coordinating information exchange between partners. The inclusion of data sharing suggests ongoing collaboration and possibly the maintenance or use of shared datasets to support management decisions, monitoring, or compliance-related tracking.
The opportunity is tied to CFDA (now often referred to as Assistance Listing) number 15.657, which corresponds to USFWS financial assistance programs. Eligibility is listed as unrestricted in the record, but because this is a single-source notice of intent, the open eligibility language does not function like a typical open competition; it is effectively a notification of an intended award rather than an invitation for new applicants to compete.
Key administrative details include the funding opportunity number F17AS00467, a creation date of September 19, 2017, and an original closing date of September 22, 2017, reflecting a very short public posting window consistent with a notice-of-intent posting rather than a full solicitation. The expected number of awards is one. The award ceiling is listed as 1, which likely reflects how the posting was configured rather than a meaningful dollar maximum in the summary record, since a ceiling of "1" is not typical for actual funding limits.
Overall, this posting is best understood as a formal public record that USFWS planned to enter into a single cooperative agreement to support technical assistance activities in Florida related to markers, signage planning, and data sharing, with the agency remaining actively involved through the cooperative agreement structure.Apply for F17AS00467
