Opportunity Information: Apply for USGS 20 FAC 0086
This funding opportunity is a Notice of Intent issued by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) within the Department of the Interior. It is listed under Funding Opportunity Number USGS 20 FAC 0086 and was created on February 19, 2020, with an original closing date of February 29, 2020. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and uses a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency in carrying out the supported activities compared with a standard grant.
The announcement describes the award as a non-competitive cooperative agreement, meaning the agency expects to make an award without an open competition among multiple applicants. In practice, non-competitive notices are often used when the agency has a specific recipient or a narrowly defined set of eligible partners in mind due to unique capabilities, statutory direction, continuity of an ongoing project, or a justified need for a particular entity to perform the work. The listing indicates the agency anticipates making one award in total.
Financially, the opportunity has an award ceiling of $450,000, which reflects the maximum expected federal funding amount for the single anticipated award. The funding activity category is labeled as "Other," with a note that further clarification would be contained in the original posting under an explanatory text field. The associated CFDA number is 15.808, which identifies the federal assistance program under which the award would be made.
Eligibility is broadly labeled as "Others," with the intent that the detailed eligibility requirements are provided in an additional eligibility clarification field in the full notice. This phrasing commonly signals that eligibility may be limited to a particular type of organization or partner class not captured by the standard categories, or that only certain entities (sometimes a specific organization) are intended to apply under the non-competitive structure.
In short, this notice signals USGS intent to issue a single, non-competitive cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.808, with up to $450,000 available, on a fast timeline between February 19 and February 29, 2020. The key takeaways are the non-competitive nature of the award, the cooperative agreement mechanism (implying agency involvement), the single expected award, and the need to consult the full notice text for the precise scope of work and the specific eligibility limitations referenced but not detailed in the summary data.Apply for USGS 20 FAC 0086
