F27AS00008-NAWCA 2027-1 US Standard Grants
Solicitation # F27AS00008
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is soliciting applications for NAWCA 2027-1 U.S. Standard Grants under solicitation number F27AS00008, with a submission deadline of September 25, 2026. This competitive grant program supports public-private partnerships that undertake long-term wetland and associated upland habitat conservation projects across the United States to benefit migratory birds, with a mandatory 1-to-1 cash or in-kind match requirement. Proposals must demonstrate measurable conservation outcomes such as land protection through fee title, easements, or leases; habitat restoration and enhancement; invasive species control; and wildlife-friendly infrastructure, all aligned with national conservation plans including the North American Waterfowl Management Plan and Partners in Flight. Projects are required to be watershed-based, avoid duplication of federal efforts, and comply with specific technical standards such as NWCG for prescribed burns and Land Trust Alliance guidelines for easements. Evaluation is based on seven technical assessment questions weighting contributions to waterfowl and other migratory birds, geographic relevance to national plans, alignment with wetland status and trends, long-term conservation durability, protection of federally listed and state priority species, and advancement of NAWCA’s partnership goals—particularly through match ratio, diversity of partners, public access, and adaptation to changing environmental conditions. A risk review assesses financial management, past performance, and compliance history. Proposals are awarded through a trade-off process prioritizing technical merit and cost-effectiveness over lowest price. Applicants must submit a single PDF containing mandatory sections including a project summary, financial plan, tract table, and responses to all seven assessment questions, adhering to strict page limits and formatting rules. Supporting documents such as deeds, easements, NICRAs, and GIS shapefiles must be properly attached and emailed to dbhc@fws.gov. All entities must have a current UEI in SAM.gov, disclose conflicts of interest, pre-award costs, and potential duplication, and ensure key personnel are not excluded from federal programs. The anticipated project period runs from June 1, 2027, to June 1, 2029, with estimated funding between $700,000 and $3,924,100, though no formal CLIN or option structure is defined. Performance is expected primarily in Iowa counties including Lee, Warren, Jasper, and Monroe, with final acceptance tied to land title transfer to designated entities.

Approval of Memorandum of Understanding Between the Ventura County Air Pollution Control District (VCAPCD) and the California Marine Sanctuary Foundation (CMSF)The Marine Vessel Speed Reduction Incentive Program, also known as the Protecting Blue Whales and Blue Skies Program, is a voluntary environmental initiative administered through a Memorandum of Understanding between the Ventura County Air Pollution Control District and the California Marine Sanctuary Foundation. The program incentivizes ocean-going vessel operators to transit at or below 10 knots in designated California coastal waters and the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone to reduce whale ship strike risks, underwater noise pollution, and air emissions including nitrogen oxides and greenhouse gases. Funding of $973,863 has been allocated for Fiscal Year 2026–2027 to support program implementation, with performance measured by voluntary vessel compliance, quantified reductions in emissions and noise, and an average 48% annual reduction in ship strike risk since inception. The program’s success is tracked through cumulative metrics including over 2 million nautical miles traveled at reduced speeds, 7,394 tons of NOx减排, and approximately 260,000 metric tons of greenhouse gas reductions since its launch. No regulatory enforcement is used; participation is entirely voluntary and supported by environmental performance outcomes. The initiative is categorically exempt from full environmental review under CEQA Guidelines 15307 and 15308, and the agreement is structured as a cooperative environmental funding arrangement, not a formal federal procurement contract. Performance occurs across coastal areas from Del Norte to San Diego counties, with oversight and administrative acceptance handled by the Ventura County Air Pollution Control District. The lead contact is Tyler S. Harris, Manager of the Planning, Rules, and Incentives Division, and all documentation is submitted in physical hard-copy form without electronic submission options or formal line-item pricing structures. There are no identified FAR clauses, contract types, inspection protocols, or procurement evaluation factors, as this is not a federally solicited contract but rather a state-level environmental incentive program.
