Opportunity Information: Apply for USGS 20 FAC 0049
This funding opportunity is a discretionary, non-competitive cooperative agreement offered by the Department of the Interior, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). The opportunity is identified by the title "Non-Competitive Cooperative Agreement" and the funding opportunity number USGS 20 FAC 0049. It was posted (creation date) on December 20, 2019, with an original closing date of January 1, 2020, indicating a short application window and a time-sensitive solicitation.
The award is structured as a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant. In practical terms, that typically means the USGS expects to have substantial involvement in the funded work, such as collaborating on project direction, technical approach, or coordination, rather than simply providing funds and receiving final deliverables. The opportunity is labeled as non-competitive, which generally indicates that the agency intends to make the award to a specific recipient or a very limited set of eligible entities, often due to unique qualifications, statutory direction, continuity of ongoing work, or other justification that makes open competition impractical.
The funding activity category is listed as "Other," with a note that further clarification would normally appear in an accompanying explanation field (not included in the provided source data). The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) number associated with this opportunity is 15.808, which is the program identifier used for federal assistance tracking and reporting. The listing states an expected number of awards of one, reinforcing that this is intended as a single, targeted award rather than a broad competitive program.
Financially, the opportunity includes an award ceiling of $1,900,000, meaning the maximum anticipated funding level for the cooperative agreement is up to that amount. Since there is only one expected award, the ceiling effectively represents the upper bound for the sole recipient, although the actual award amount could be less depending on the negotiated scope, approved budget, and agency priorities.
Eligibility is described broadly as "Others," with the implication that the full eligibility rules would normally be explained in an additional eligibility information field (also not included in the source data). In many federal postings, "Others" can encompass specific non-federal entities such as universities, nonprofit organizations, state or local entities, tribal organizations, or other partners, but the exact eligible applicant type for this posting would need to be confirmed from the full notice text or related eligibility documentation.
In summary, USGS 20 FAC 0049 is a discretionary, USGS-issued, non-competitive cooperative agreement opportunity under CFDA 15.808, intended for a single award with funding up to $1.9 million, created on December 20, 2019, and originally closing on January 1, 2020. The non-competitive nature and the cooperative agreement instrument both suggest a pre-identified or narrowly defined recipient and a project where USGS anticipates an active collaboration role during performance.Apply for USGS 20 FAC 0049
