| Description: | THIS IS A NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD TO A SINGLE SOURCE, AND THERE IS NO “FULL ANNOUNCEMENT” ASSOCIATED WITH THIS NOTICE. This Notice is NOT a request for competitive proposals. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) intends to award a cooperative agreement to Manomet, Inc., under authority of CFDA 15.655 and the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act of 1980, as amended in 1988. The Service proposes to provide financial assistance in helping improve data management capability for the International Shorebird Survey (ISS).

The purpose of this project is to increase the utility of the ISS for making shorebird management and conservation decisions within the South Atlantic Landscape Conservation Cooperative. Period of performance is from date of the award to September 12, 2012. Estimated award is $198,000.00.
