Opportunity Summary:
The CHDN Administrative Support opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIR2124110012) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action announced as a cooperative agreement within the Natural Resources activity area. It was posted on June 17, 2011, with a closing date of June 22, 2011, and later archived on July 22, 2011. The estimated total funding associated with the action is $156,254, and the agency anticipated making one award. No cost sharing or matching is required.
This notice is not a typical open competition or a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a formal notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award under the Department of the Interior (DOI) policy referenced as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C. The action will result in a task agreement award under the National Park Service Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), which is a cooperative framework NPS uses to partner with designated institutions for research, technical assistance, and related support activities tied to ecosystem and resource management needs. In practical terms, this means the work will be carried out under the CESU mechanism rather than through a broadly competed grant solicitation.
Eligibility is correspondingly narrow. Although the listing shows eligible applicants as "Others" with additional clarification in the full notice, the opportunity explicitly states it is a single-source award to the University of New Mexico (as written in the source text). Because it is noncompetitive and already directed to a specified institution, other organizations are not being invited to submit proposals through this posting.
From a funding and administrative perspective, the opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project during performance compared to a standard grant. The award ceiling and floor are listed as $0, which typically signals that the specific funding amount and terms are defined in the associated task agreement and accompanying documentation rather than being expressed as a competitive range in the synopsis. The CFDA listing associated with the opportunity is 15.945, covering Cooperative Research and Training Programs and Resources of the National Park System.
For parties who need the complete announcement but cannot access it electronically, the notice provides a point of contact: William Tallbull, Grant/Agreement Specialist, at 303-969-2891.
