Opportunity Information: Apply for USGS 18 FA 0024
The grant opportunity titled "Evaluating Geological Hazards at Bicycle Basin" (Funding Opportunity Number USGS 18 FA 0024) is a discretionary funding announcement from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), within the Department of the Interior. It was created on December 12, 2017, with an original closing date of December 22, 2017. The award is offered as a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, which generally means the USGS expected to have substantial involvement in the project’s direction, coordination, or technical work as it is carried out, instead of simply providing funds and receiving final deliverables.
The primary purpose, as indicated by the title and brief description, is to support work that evaluates geological hazards in an area known as Bicycle Basin. While the short public summary does not list specific hazard types, USGS hazard evaluations commonly involve identifying and characterizing risks such as landslides, rockfall, erosion, ground instability, fault-related deformation, or other geologic processes that could affect people, infrastructure, natural resources, or ongoing land management activities. In practical terms, a project under this opportunity would typically include field observations, mapping, data compilation, and analysis aimed at understanding where hazards are present, how likely they are to occur, and what potential impacts they could have. The results are often used to inform planning, mitigation, monitoring priorities, and decision-making by federal land managers and partner organizations.
This opportunity is explicitly labeled non-competitive, meaning the USGS intended to make the award without a standard open competition among multiple applicants. The authority cited is "USGS Unique Authority" under 43 U.S.C. 36d, which is a statutory basis that can allow the agency to enter into agreements under particular circumstances and is often used for specialized collaborations where a specific partner, capability, location, or ongoing relationship is central to accomplishing the government purpose. Because it is non-competitive and tied to a specific authority, the pool of eligible applicants is not described in broad standard categories (such as state governments or universities) but instead is listed as "Others," with additional eligibility details referenced as being provided elsewhere in the full announcement package. In similar USGS announcements, this can indicate that eligibility may depend on having unique expertise, an established role in the area of interest, or a specific relationship to the site or required data.
Financially, the opportunity lists an award ceiling of $95,000 and anticipates making a single award. That suggests a targeted, bounded scope of work rather than a multi-year, multi-recipient program. The funding activity category is labeled "Other" (with a note to see a further explanation in the full text), which is consistent with site-specific applied science or technical assessment work that does not neatly fit into a single standard category such as education, construction, or pure research. The CFDA number provided is 15.808, which is associated with U.S. Geological Survey activities and helps classify the award within federal assistance listings.
Overall, the Bicycle Basin opportunity can be summarized as a one-time, non-competitive USGS cooperative agreement, up to $95,000, intended to support a focused evaluation of geological hazards at a specific location. The short timeframe between posting and closing (about ten days) aligns with a non-competitive action where the agency may already have identified the intended recipient or is working within a narrow operational window. The expected outcome would be actionable hazard information, typically delivered through technical products such as maps, datasets, interpretive reports, and recommendations that help stakeholders better understand and manage geologic risk in Bicycle Basin.Apply for USGS 18 FA 0024
