Opportunity Summary:
The CHDN Administrative Support opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIR2124120009) was a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action intended to provide administrative support services under the Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) framework. Rather than being an open competition, it was published as a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source cooperative agreement award, citing Department of the Interior policy at 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C as the authority for proceeding without competition. In practical terms, the posting functioned more as a public notification of an already-planned award than as a solicitation seeking proposals from multiple applicants.
The award mechanism identified was a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that NPS anticipated substantial involvement in the supported work compared to a standard grant. The activity category was Natural Resources, and the funding was connected to CFDA 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, signaling that the work fit within NPS efforts to support research, technical assistance, and capacity that benefits national park resources and related stewardship priorities.
Only one award was expected, and the notice explicitly states it was a single-source award to New Mexico State University. The listing also clarifies that the announcement was not a request for applications, meaning other entities were not being invited to apply through Grants.gov for this particular funding action. The eligible applicant type is shown broadly as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," but the eligibility statement removes ambiguity by naming the intended recipient and confirming the noncompetitive nature of the action.
From a funding perspective, the estimated total amount associated with the action was $64,276. The posting lists an award ceiling and award floor of $0, which commonly appears in notices like this when the agency is not running a competitive process with variable award sizes and is instead documenting a specific intended agreement amount elsewhere (often in the attached announcement or internal documentation). No cost sharing or matching requirement was indicated.
Key dates show the notice was posted and created on February 22, 2012, with an original and current closing date of February 27, 2012, and an archive date of March 28, 2012. The short window between posting and closing aligns with the fact that it was not an open solicitation; the "closing" date in these situations often reflects administrative timelines for the public notice period rather than an application deadline.
For access issues with the full announcement, the notice provided a direct agency contact: William Tallbull, Grant/Agreement Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2891. Overall, the opportunity can be summarized as an NPS administrative support task agreement issued through the Desert Southwest CESU, publicly posted as a required notice of intent for a noncompetitive cooperative agreement award to New Mexico State University in the amount of approximately $64,276, with no match required and no application process open to other applicants.
