Opportunity Summary:
The "Bridging the Watershed" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOI ROCR R3450120038) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action in the natural resources area that was posted on June 19, 2012. It is structured as a cooperative agreement under CFDA 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to Resources of the National Park System. The announcement lists an estimated total funding amount of $270,000, with no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated.
A key point is that this notice is not a competitive grant solicitation and not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice of NPS intent to make a single-source award without full and open competition, citing Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C) as the authority for proceeding this way. In practical terms, the agency is signaling that it has already identified the intended recipient and is publishing the notice to meet transparency and procedural requirements rather than to invite proposals from the public.
The intended recipient is explicitly identified: the Alice Ferguson Foundation. The eligibility field reflects this by stating that it is a single-source award, and the general "Eligible Applicants" category is listed as "Others" with clarification pointing back to the single-source designation. The announcement indicates an expected number of awards of one. Although award ceiling and floor fields are shown as $0, that typically reflects how the notice was entered into the system rather than the absence of funding, since the estimated total program funding is clearly stated as $270,000.
The timeline reinforces that this is a notice rather than an application-based opportunity. The posting date and creation date are both June 19, 2012, with an original and current closing date of June 26, 2012, and an archive date of July 26, 2012. A short "closing" window like this is common for notices of intent, where the main purpose is to publish the agency's intent for a set period rather than to manage an application deadline.
For additional details, the announcement references an attached document (not included in the text you provided) and provides a point of contact for access issues: Rita Mihalik, Contract Specialist, at 301-432-7890 or ritamihalik@nps.gov. This contact information is specifically framed for those who have difficulty accessing the full announcement electronically, suggesting that the attachment contains the project-specific scope, rationale for the single-source approach, and administrative details not shown in the summary fields.
