Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS) intent to make a single, specific award for a project in Yosemite National Park focused on using aquatic invertebrates and algae as indicators of water quality. It is not an open call for proposals and it is not seeking applications. Instead, it serves as a public announcement that the NPS plans to fund work under an existing cooperative framework, without full and open competition, for a defined set of research and monitoring activities tied to natural resource management.
The opportunity is listed as a discretionary funding action using a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument, reflecting a collaboration-oriented approach where the NPS and the recipient typically coordinate on project goals, methods, and deliverables. The activity category is Natural Resources, and the associated CFDA listing is 15.945 (Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System), which is commonly used for research, technical assistance, and applied science efforts that support stewardship of park resources.
The intended recipient is the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), identified as a partner within the Californian Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The work would be carried out under Task Agreement P12AC15022, issued under an existing Cooperative Agreement (H8C07080001). In practice, that means the NPS is using an established partnership mechanism to support the project, and the notice is primarily about transparency regarding the government’s plan to fund that particular partner for that particular scope of work.
Funding details are straightforward and fixed: the estimated total funding is $29,463, and both the award ceiling and award floor are listed as $29,463, indicating the NPS anticipated one award at that exact amount. The expected number of awards is one, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. Eligible applicants are listed as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, but because this is a notice of intent to award rather than a competitive solicitation, the eligibility field does not function as an invitation for other entities to apply.
Timing information reflects the administrative nature of the posting. The opportunity was posted and created on August 17, 2012, with an original and current closing date of August 18, 2012, and an archive date of September 17, 2012. That short window is typical for notices intended to document an intended noncompetitive action rather than to provide time for proposal preparation and submission.
For questions or issues accessing the full announcement, the notice provides a point of contact: Lilette Baltodano, Financial Agreements Officer, at (415) 623-2251.
