Opportunity Summary:

The notice titled "CIRO FY14 Funding of Operations" (Funding Opportunity Number P02AC0000150) is not an open, competitive grant solicitation. Instead, it is a formal notice of intent from the National Park Service to make a continuation cooperative agreement award to a specific recipient: the State of Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation. The purpose of the award is to provide funds for the administration and management of lands within the City of Rocks National Reserve (CIRO), and the agency cites the legal authority for this arrangement as Public Law 100-696, Section 202(c)(1). In practical terms, this kind of posting functions more like a transparency and documentation step than an invitation for new applicants to apply.

From a program and funding classification standpoint, the action is categorized under Natural Resources and tied to CFDA 15.954, "National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education." The funding instrument listed is a Cooperative Agreement, which typically means the National Park Service expects to have substantial involvement in the work being carried out, as opposed to a standard grant where the recipient operates more independently. The opportunity is labeled as a continuation, indicating it is part of an ongoing relationship or existing operational framework rather than a newly competed project.

The notice anticipates a single award, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. The estimated total funding amount is set at $449,877, and both the award ceiling and award floor are also $449,877, which strongly signals that the funding level has already been determined and is fixed for this action. Eligibility is limited to state governments, aligning with the stated intent to award specifically to the Idaho state parks agency.

Key dates show the notice was posted and created on June 6, 2014, with an original and current closing date of June 13, 2014, and an archive date of July 13, 2014. Because this is not an open competition, the closing date is best understood as the end of the public notice period rather than a deadline for proposal submissions from the general public.

For questions or assistance accessing the full announcement, the listed contact is Susan Velie, Financial Assistance Officer, reachable by phone at 360-565-3114, associated with Olympic National Park MABO.
