Wading Bird Response to Ecosystem Restoration in Southwest Florida

Fort Worth District · W9126G262SOI9597 · Deadline: October 5, 2026 · Advertised ceiling: $2M

Program-level history — this opportunity doesn't publish per-opportunity awards, so these numbers describe its parent program (CFDA 12.005, Conservation and Rehabilitation of Natural Resources on Military Installations), not this competition alone. Labeled that way on purpose.

Ask-amount guidance

Applicants here typically receive far less than the advertised ceiling: the program median is $516k against a $2M ceiling (26%). Budgets far above the median need a story; budgets far below leave money on the table.

Draw-down reality (program)

Across 13 completed awards in this program (FY2021+ sample, USAspending outlay records), grantees ultimately drew a median 13% of obligated funds. A median well under 100% means underspend or early closure is common here — worth knowing before promising a spend-down timeline.
