Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) grant opportunity titled "Abandoned Mineral Lands Database Support" is a discretionary cooperative agreement action focused on natural resource stewardship. Rather than funding a brand-new project, this notice covers a modification to an existing task agreement (P11AT708889) that was originally issued under an established cooperative agreement (H2360105500) with the University of Colorado, Denver. The purpose of the modification is twofold: first, to extend the project period of performance through December 31, 2012, and second, to add additional funding in the amount of $78,000 to continue ongoing work related to the Abandoned Mineral Lands (AML) database support program.
This posting is specifically described as a "notice of intent" and a non-competitive award. In practical terms, that means NPS is signaling its intent to provide the added funds to the existing partner rather than opening the work up for competition among multiple applicants. The justification cited is Department of the Interior policy (505 DM 2), which governs circumstances where a non-competitive award is appropriate. Consistent with that approach, the opportunity lists an expected number of awards of one, with an estimated total funding amount of $78,000. The award ceiling is also $78,000 and the award floor is $0, reflecting that this modification is targeted to a single continuation award amount rather than a range of potential new awards.
Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, aligning with the fact that the continuing partner is a public university. No cost sharing or matching funds are required. The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.944 (Natural Resource Stewardship), which indicates the federal assistance program area under which this support is categorized.
The notice was posted and created on December 20, 2011, with an original and current closing date of December 22, 2011, and an archive date of January 21, 2012. Because it is a non-competitive continuation/modification rather than an open competition, the short posting window mainly serves transparency and administrative notice purposes rather than functioning like a typical competitive grant solicitation period.
For questions or issues accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Robert Dobson, Contract Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 303-987-6988. The funding opportunity number tied to this notice is NPS NOIWASOP11AT70889M1.
