Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) notice titled "Assistance for Night Sky Visibility Data Collection, Environmental Database Support" describes a discretionary cooperative agreement intended to support two closely related needs in federal land management: improving the collection and interpretation of night sky visibility data, and strengthening a web-based environmental database used for air resource management across national parks and U.S. Forest Service lands. In practical terms, the work focuses on measuring and understanding night sky conditions (including visibility and factors that affect sky quality), analyzing those findings, and presenting results in a way that can be used by resource managers and communicated to stakeholders. Alongside the night sky work, the project also supports the ongoing maintenance and enhancement of an environmental data platform that helps agencies manage and evaluate air quality related resources.
The opportunity is structured as a task agreement issued under an existing Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Cooperative Agreement (No. H2370094000). Rather than being competed openly, the NPS states it is proceeding on a non-competitive basis with Colorado State University, consistent with Department of the Interior policy (Department Manual 505 DM 2). This means the posting functions primarily as a public notice of intent to make an award, not as a broad solicitation seeking multiple applicants. The eligibility listing reflects the institutional type involved (public and state-controlled institutions of higher education), aligning with the intended recipient.
Key administrative details include an expected single award with an estimated total funding amount and award ceiling of $300,040 (award floor listed as $0), and no cost sharing or matching requirement. The funding activity category is Natural Resources, and the opportunity is identified under Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIWASOJ2350108503. The posting date and creation date are both August 31, 2010, with an original and current closing date of September 3, 2010, and an archive date of October 3, 2010, reflecting a short notice window typical of non-competitive intent postings.
