Opportunity Information: Apply for BOR MP 17 N035
This grant opportunity, titled "Captive Propagation and Reintroduction of Large-flowered Fiddleneck (Amsinckia grandiflora) in Contra Costa, Alameda, and San Joaquin Counties, California - Phase 2 Monitoring," is a discretionary grant issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation. It falls under CFDA 15.564 (Central Valley Project Conservation Program) and is supported by the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act (16 U.S.C. 661 et seq.). The work is focused on natural resources, specifically the continued recovery effort for the critically endangered large-flowered fiddleneck, a rare plant with extremely limited populations in California.
The Bureau of Reclamation states that it intends to award the grant to a specific recipient, Vollmar Natural Lands Consulting, Inc. (VNLC), which is listed as a small business eligible applicant. The notice makes clear that this is a non-competitive action: it is a Notice of Intent to Award and not a request for proposals. In other words, other organizations are not being invited to submit competing applications. The government also notes that the choice not to compete the award is allowed under Departmental Manual 505 DM 2, paragraph 2.14(B)(2), and that this determination is entirely at the government’s discretion.
In terms of funding, the estimated total agreement amount is $273,464.00, with $98,424.00 provided by Reclamation in Fiscal Year 2017. The opportunity lists an expected single award and does not specify an award ceiling (shown as 0), which typically signals that the relevant dollar amounts are described in the narrative rather than capped in a standard ceiling field.
The purpose of the project is essentially an extension and continuation of ongoing captive propagation, reintroduction, and monitoring efforts, with an emphasis on adding time and capacity for supplemental planting. The underlying problem driving this Phase 2 monitoring effort is that extreme weather over the previous five years has affected the stability of reintroduced populations. The project aims to improve the chances of long-term persistence by continuing supplemental planting at what are described as the four most successful reintroduction sites, with the goal of stabilizing those populations rather than allowing them to decline due to recent climate and weather impacts. The title indicates the project area spans Contra Costa, Alameda, and San Joaquin Counties in California, and the "Phase 2 Monitoring" language suggests the work builds on earlier reintroduction steps and focuses on follow-up evaluation, tracking, and adaptive management actions like replanting as needed.
Key administrative details include a creation date of September 1, 2017, and an original closing date of September 20, 2017, though because the notice is not competitive, that closing date functions more like a posting window than a deadline for open submissions.
