Opportunity Information: Apply for BOR MP 18 N019
The PLPT AIS Program is a federal financial assistance opportunity from the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, focused on aquatic invasive species (AIS) prevention and response in and around Pyramid Lake and the lower Truckee River. It is listed as a discretionary grant/cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.517 and is rooted in the Fish and Wildlife Coordination Act authorities (including Section 7(a)), along with related public law and Interior Department delegations that allow Reclamation to carry out this type of fish and wildlife protection work.
Funding for the project is set at an estimated total of $199,976, with Reclamation providing the full $199,976 in Fiscal Year 2018. The opportunity anticipates a single award with an award ceiling equal to the total amount, indicating the scope and budget are essentially fixed for this action.
Program activities are aimed at protecting the local aquatic ecosystem by reducing the risk of AIS introduction and spread. The core work includes documenting where AIS are currently found and identifying any new infestations as they appear; preventing new AIS from entering Pyramid Lake and the lower Truckee River; slowing or stopping spread through watercraft inspection and decontamination procedures; and conducting public outreach so visitors and local users understand AIS risks and best practices (for example, cleaning and drying boats and gear). In practical terms, this combines monitoring and mapping with on-the-ground prevention measures at access points, plus education intended to change behavior and reduce accidental transport of invasive organisms.
Eligibility is limited to federally recognized Native American tribal governments, and the intended recipient is the Pyramid Lake Paiute Tribe. This notice is a Notice of Intent to Award (Funding Opportunity Number BOR-MP-18-N019) and explicitly states it is not a request for competitive proposals, meaning the government has chosen to proceed without competition under internal departmental rules (505 DM 2, paragraph 2.14(B)(4)). The posting provides an information window rather than an open competition; the original closing date shown is June 6, 2018, and any questions were directed to the listed Grants Management Specialist, Crystal Oliver, at coliver@usbr.gov.Apply for BOR MP 18 N019
