Opportunity Summary:
The "Channel Islands National Park Seabird Projects" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NOI P11AT00329) is a National Park Service discretionary funding action focused on natural resource stewardship activities related to seabirds at Channel Islands National Park. It is structured as a cooperative agreement and is intended to produce a Task Agreement under an existing Umbrella Cooperative Agreement, meaning the work is being issued under a broader, pre-established partnership framework rather than through a new, open competition. The announcement is explicitly labeled as a Notice of Intent and cites DOI policy (505 DM 2.12c) as the basis for making a noncompetitive, single-source award.
This notice is not a request for applications and is not open for competitive proposals. The National Park Service states that the award will be made to a specific organization, the California Institute of Environmental Studies, which is why the eligibility field is essentially limited in practice despite the general listing of "Others" with clarification in the announcement. In other words, the purpose of the posting is primarily informational and procedural (to document the intent to award and comply with internal requirements), not to solicit new applicants or compare proposals.
The opportunity anticipated one award with an estimated total funding amount of $637,926. No cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated. The award floor and ceiling are both listed as $0, which typically signals that the exact award amount is handled through the task agreement terms rather than expressed as a competitive range in the public posting. The posting date and creation date are both June 2, 2011, with an original and current closing date of June 6, 2011, and an archive date of July 6, 2011, reflecting a short public notice window consistent with a noncompetitive intent-to-award announcement rather than a standard application cycle.
For anyone needing access to the full announcement materials, the contact listed is Yvonne Morales, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 415-464-5221 or by email at yvonnemorales@nps.gov.
