The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is soliciting grant applications under the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative to support the implementation of approved Great Lakes State Aquatic Invasive Species Management Plans. Only Great Lakes states or their designated entities are eligible to apply, and awards will be made through a competitive process. The solicitation, identified as F26AS00083, was posted on June 10, 2026, with a submission deadline of December 31, 2026. Funding is anticipated to range from $100,000 to $3,685,238 across up to eight awards, with individual projects expected to begin on October 1, 2026, and conclude by September 30, 2028. Proposals must include a 25-page Project Narrative covering goals, activities, timelines, personnel qualifications, environmental compliance, and monitoring plans, along with required attachments such as biographical sketches, current and pending support documentation, and standard federal forms like SF-424, SF-424A, and SF-LLL. Applicants must register in SAM.gov, obtain a Unique Entity Identifier, and be cleared of exclusions prior to award. Evaluation will prioritize projects demonstrating strong interagency collaboration, effectiveness in addressing vectors of invasive species spread, early detection capabilities, qualified personnel, past expenditure efficiency, and speed of project initiation. Awards will be determined through a trade-off process based on merit ratings—Low, Medium, or High—without explicit numerical weighting, with funding levels of 100%, 80%, or 60% of requested amounts allocated depending on ranking. A separate risk assessment will evaluate financial management, experience, staffing, and compliance history. Cooperative agreements will involve substantial federal involvement, including review and approval of key project stages. Applicants must disclose conflicts of interest, executive compensation, and subawards over $30,000, and comply with 2 CFR cost principles and data management requirements. Proposals for pre-award work are at the applicant’s own risk. Submission requires a pre-proposal via email and a full proposal via GrantSolutions, with all documents delivered electronically. Performance will be evaluated against ecological outcomes such as reduced AIS spread and successful plan implementation, with inspections and acceptances occurring at project sites, governed by NEPA, Section 7, and Section 106 compliance standards.

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.

F26AS00083 Aquatic Invasive Species Grants to Great Lakes States - Fiscal Year 2026 Great Lakes Restoration InitiativeThe solicitation F26AS00083 issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) under the Department of the Interior aims to award competitive grants funded through the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) to support implementation of State Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) Management Plans. These plans have been formally transmitted by state governors and approved by the Aquatic Nuisance Species Task Force. Only Great Lakes states or their designated representatives are eligible to apply, with performance expected within the geographic boundaries of these states. The key objective is to advance invasive species control and management efforts through federally supported grants rather than traditional procurement contracts. The solicitation was posted on June 10, 2026, with a submission deadline at the end of that calendar year. The scope and compliance requirements emphasize extensive environmental and historic preservation reviews in accordance with federal laws and regulations, including Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act, the National Environmental Policy Act, and the Endangered Species Act Section 7 consultation process. Recipients must conduct thorough field surveys to evaluate impacts on historic properties, ensuring adherence to the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards and regulatory thresholds such as age and integrity of sites. Documentation requirements include maps, photographs, detailed descriptions, and design drawings associated with the project areas. Inspection and acceptance responsibilities remain with government officials, with contractors performing work under federal oversight and compliance mandates. Although funding source appropriations under GLRI are confirmed, no pricing data, specific evaluation factors, or contract clauses typically found in federal acquisitions are included. The award process is competitive but lacks explicit details on evaluation criteria or administrative data like payment offices, invoicing methods, or contracting officer contacts. Proposals should comprehensively address environmental compliance with supporting attachments, allowing for flexible document formats, and submit by the December 31, 2026 deadline.
