Opportunity Information: Apply for F17AS00385
The Vegetation Mapping grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number F17AS00385) is a Department of the Interior, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service funding action focused on environmental work to support conservation planning in Southern California. The project is designed to produce an updated vegetation map for the Simi Valley-Santa Susana Mountains subsection of the Southern California Coast Ecological Section, covering roughly 124,000 acres. The main conservation value of the effort is that better vegetation information in this landscape can directly improve management and recovery actions for threatened and endangered species that depend on specific habitat types and plant communities.
The funded scope of work centers on three core technical components: field and/or remote data collection to support vegetation classification, analysis of the collected data to build or refine the classification, and the production of vegetation mapping outputs. In practical terms, this typically means gathering source observations and imagery, determining how vegetation types should be grouped and labeled, running analytical workflows to ensure consistency and accuracy, and then creating map products that agencies and land managers can use for habitat assessments, project review, and long-term monitoring.
From an administrative and funding standpoint, this opportunity is listed as a discretionary award using a cooperative agreement, indicating that the agency expects to have substantial involvement during the project period (for example, coordination on methods, review of deliverables, or alignment with agency standards). The activity category is Environment and the CFDA number is 15.657. The award ceiling is $98,000, with one expected award.
A critical detail is that this posting is explicitly a Notice of Intent to Award as a single-source action. It states that no competition is expected and instructs potential applicants not to apply. While eligibility is described as "unrestricted" at a high level, the single-source intent effectively means the agency plans to make the award to a specific recipient rather than running an open competitive process. The opportunity was created on August 10, 2017, with an original closing date of August 18, 2017, which aligns with the limited, administrative nature of a single-source notice rather than a standard open solicitation.Apply for F17AS00385
