Description

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) receives funds for implementation of the Yukon River Salmon Agreement reached with Canada in March 2001. The Yukon River Salmon Act of 2000 authorizes funds for implementation of the Agreement including funds for cooperative research and management projects on the Yukon River in Alaska. The Service administers these funds through grant agreements, purchase orders, and contracts on a competitive basis for projects/studies that advance the scientific community's understanding of and management of Chinook and chum salmon in the Yukon River in Alaska. This is a call for initial project proposals of one year in length. Successful applicants will be asked to submit full proposals. The initial project proposals will be evaluated by the U.S. Section of the Yukon River Panel (Panel). Authors of selected initial proposals will be notified by the Service to submit full proposals for final review. The Panel reserves the right to ask questions for clarification and conduct negotiations with promising proposal authors prior to final selection. The Panel reserves the right to eliminate from consideration any proposals whose author does not provide clarification in a timely manner, if and when clarification is sought. Panel recommendations on project selections will be forwarded to the Service for consideration of funding. The Service will then develop and award the financial assistance or contractual documents funding the final proposals that meet all federal requirements and for which funding is available. Currently the source of general funding is appropriated funds directed to the Service. The funds shall be used for cooperative Chinook and chum salmon research and management projects in the portion of the Yukon River drainage located in the United States that are recommended by the Panel after review for scientific and technical merit. (1) Applicant eligibility, priorities for funding, initial proposal format and required proposal content, submittal instructions, ranking critieria, and a technical point of contact to whom questions should be directed are available at the website provided in #2. (2) There is no "bidder's list" to get on, nor is there a solicitation package to request. The entire solicitation package may be accessed at the following website http://alaska.fws.gov/fisheries/fieldoffice/fairbanks/pdf/RFP-RM_2007.pdf Please note that there is a twin posting of this RFP on the Grants.gov site since multiple (approximately 8-10) projects will be funded, some through procurement contract and others through financial assistance awards. (3) The FWS Region 7 Federal Assistance Specialist / Contract Specialist will analyze successful projects to ascertain whether federal funding will be provided through financial assistance awards or procurement instruments in accordance with 31 USC 6301-6308. (4) Ultimately, successful applicants will need to obtain and provide the following before an award can be put into place: Social Security or Tax ID Number, DUNS number, proof of active registrant status in CCR (www.ccr.gov), and financial institution information to allow electronic transfer of funds.
