Instructions: In accordance with Service policy 516 FW 6, Issuing Discretionary Grant and Cooperative Agreement Awards without Competition, complete this form to document the justification for issuing a single source grant or cooperative agreement award. This form must be signed by both a program representative and the employee with signature authority for the award to be issued (see 516 FW 3, Signature Authority for Grant and Cooperative Agreement Awards). The completed and signed form must be maintained in the official award file.

Select all criteria that apply (from 505 DM 2):
(1) Unsolicited Proposal: The proposed award is the result of an unsolicited application that represents a unique or innovative idea, method, or approach that is not the subject of a current or planned award, but is found to be advantageous to program objectives.
(2) Continuation: The activity to be funded is necessary for the satisfactory completion of, or is a continuation of, an activity we are funding and holding a competition would have a significant adverse effect on continuing or completing the activity.
(3) Legislative Intent: The language in the applicable authorizing legislation or legislative history clearly indicates the intent of Congress to restrict the award to a particular recipient or purpose.
(4) Unique Qualifications: The applicant is uniquely qualified to perform the activity based on a variety of demonstrable factors such as location; property ownership; voluntary support capacity; cost-sharing ability, if applicable; technical expertise; or other such unique qualifications.
(5) Emergencies: Because of a compelling and unusual urgency, or substantial danger to health or safety, there is not enough time to follow adequate competitive procedures.
Explain below why competition for this award is not practical. As applicable, summarize the program legislative history, unique capabilities of the proposed recipient, and any cost-sharing contribution offered by the proposed recipient. Be brief and specific:
I have determined that this project meets the requirements for a single source award and recommend that it be awarded to the recipient named above.
I, as the Service employee with signature authority for this award under 516 FW 3, have reviewed this program recommendation and find that it meets the requirements for a single source award.

| offered by the proposed recipient Be brief and specific: The Shenandoah National Park Trust (SNPT) will act as advisor and fiscal sponsor on this project, working through Blue Ridge Partnership for Regional Invasive Species Management (PRISM) to manage/remove wavyleaf grass, a newly introduced noxious weed, at seven critical locations within the South Fork Shenandoah Watershed. SNPT is the official philanthropic partner of the Shenandoah National Park, where six of the locations are located. The Blue Ridge PRISM also has established partners in the watershed who have been working together on this invasive species' removal efforts, including Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation, Shenandoah National Park, and others. SNPT and Blue Ridge PRISM are uniquely qualified to complete this task due to technical expertise in managing large-scale, multi-partner projects focused on invasive species removal. The Blue Ridge PRISM has spent one year working on this project (funded through the DuPont settlement by Virginia co-trustees), and this cooperative agreement would provide the necessary funds to complete their efforts successfully. This funding may also enable SNPT and Blue Ridge PRISM to leverage other potential funds to expand this project. | |
