Opportunity Information: Apply for N62473 17 2 0013
The Department of Defense, through the Naval Facilities Engineering Command, offered a discretionary cooperative agreement opportunity titled "Exotic Species Control at Naval Auxiliary Landing Field San Clemente Island" (Funding Opportunity Number N62473 17 2 0013). The project is centered on invasive plant (weed) management on San Clemente Island (SCI) and is specifically intended to carry out plant-related measures identified in the 2008 U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Biological Opinion covering military operations on the island. That Biological Opinion highlights the ongoing need to control invasive weeds because they may be hindering the recovery of six federally listed plant species, making sustained invasive species work a key part of compliance and conservation on SCI.
The island's invasive species management program is described as being organized around the five goals from the 2008-2012 National Invasive Species Management Plan: prevention, early detection and rapid response, control and management, restoration, and organizational collaboration. Since invasive species are already established on SCI, the opportunity emphasizes practical, on-the-ground actions to reduce impacts and protect sensitive native plants and habitat. The cooperative agreement is designed to continue work that originally began in the late 1990s, but it is treated as a new agreement because similar work had not been procured recently.
In terms of approach, the opportunity notes that several management methods can be used once invasive species are established: biological, chemical, mechanical, harvest management, and fire. This particular cooperative agreement focuses on the first four methods and explicitly excludes fire as a management tool under this award. In other words, supported activities would be aimed at preventing new invasions where possible, finding and responding quickly to new outbreaks, actively controlling existing infestations using non-fire techniques (including potential chemical, mechanical, biological, or removal/harvest strategies), and restoring affected areas to improve conditions for native vegetation and the listed plant species.
Administratively, the award instrument is a cooperative agreement (not a standard grant), which typically implies a closer working relationship between the recipient and the federal agency during execution. The funding activity area is natural resources under CFDA 12.300. Eligibility was listed as unrestricted, meaning it was open to a wide range of applicant types, subject to any additional eligibility clarifications that may have appeared in the full posting. The opportunity anticipated a single award with an award ceiling of $117,050. The notice was created on August 17, 2017, with an original application closing date of September 18, 2017.Apply for N62473 17 2 0013
