Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) funding opportunity titled "Assess impacts of Las Conchas fire and suppression activities on park vegetation" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIR7127120033) is a discretionary cooperative agreement in the Natural Resources category. Its purpose is to support work evaluating how the Las Conchas Fire, along with related fire suppression actions, affected vegetation within a national park unit. While the public synopsis does not spell out the study design, the title and context indicate a focus on documenting ecological impacts from both the wildfire itself and on-the-ground suppression measures (for example, dozer lines, hand lines, staging areas, or other disturbance associated with incident response), with the goal of improving understanding of post-fire vegetation conditions and informing future management decisions.
This notice is not an open competition and is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it is a notice of intent to make a single-source, noncompetitive award to the University of New Mexico. The NPS states the award will be made through a task agreement under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), which is a partnership framework used by federal agencies to collaborate with universities and other partners on research, technical assistance, and education. The noncompetitive nature of the award is justified under Department of the Interior policy cited as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C, which covers circumstances where an award may be made without full and open competition.
The opportunity anticipated one award with an estimated total funding amount of $35,000, and it does not require cost sharing or matching. The listing references CFDA number 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, which aligns with the CESU-style research and technical support described in the notice. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as $0, which typically reflects that the specific award amount and structure are controlled by the associated task agreement and internal documentation rather than being competed under a standard range.
Timing information indicates the notice was posted and created on February 13, 2012, with an original and current closing date of February 20, 2012, and an archive date of March 21, 2012. Because this is a single-source notice of intent rather than a competitive solicitation, the "closing date" functions more as a public notice period than a deadline for submitting proposals from multiple applicants.
