Opportunity Information: Apply for F19AS00396
The funding opportunity titled "Survey and Inventory for Listed and At-Risk Species in Georgia" (Funding Opportunity Number F19AS00396) is a U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service notice of intent to make a single-source award, meaning the agency is not running a competitive application process and there is no full public announcement or standard solicitation package attached to the notice. The award is planned as a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency in planning, coordination, or oversight as the work is carried out. The issuing agency is the Department of the Interior, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and the program aligns with natural resources work under CFDA 15.664.
The Service states it intends to award this cooperative agreement specifically to the Georgia Department of Natural Resources. The project goal is to conduct field surveys in southwest Georgia targeting priority herpetofauna (reptiles and amphibians). The survey work is intended to occur on many of the same properties associated with the Quail Country Candidate Conservation Agreement with Assurances (CCAA), referenced as overlapping with "Project 1" efforts, but with a distinct focus on a set of named species. Those focal species are Ambystoma bishopi (reticulated flatwoods salamander), Lithobates capito (gopher frog), Pituophis melanoleucus (pine snake), Heterodon simus (southern hognose snake), Crotalus adamanteus (eastern diamondback rattlesnake), and Notophthalmus perstriatus (striped newt). The notice highlights that all of these species are either federally listed, candidates for listing, or have had substantial 90-day findings under the Endangered Species Act process, which signals elevated conservation concern and the importance of updated distribution and status information.
In practical terms, the opportunity is structured to support on-the-ground inventory and survey work that can improve understanding of where these species occur, how they are using habitat across targeted properties, and what conservation actions may be needed or prioritized. Because it is a single-source notice of intent, the key takeaway for outside entities is that this is not an open call for proposals; instead, it documents the agency's plan to fund a specific state partner for a focused conservation survey effort in southwest Georgia. The notice was created on September 13, 2019, with an original closing date listed as September 20, 2019, and it anticipates one award (Expected Awards: 1) with an award ceiling indicated as 1 in the source record.Apply for F19AS00396
