Opportunity Summary:
The "City of Rocks National Reserve Annual Management Funding" notice (Funding Opportunity Number P02AC00001) is not a competitive grant solicitation and should not be read as an open funding opportunity for new applicants. Instead, it is a formal Notice of Intent by the National Park Service (NPS) to make a single-source award action without full and open competition for an amount over $25,000. In practical terms, this means the agency already has an existing cooperative agreement in place and is announcing that it plans to modify that existing award by adding funds to support ongoing management of City of Rocks National Reserve for Fiscal Year 2013.
This action is categorized as a continuation and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, indicating an assistance relationship where NPS is likely to have substantial involvement in the funded activities (for example, coordination, oversight, or joint participation in planning and implementation), rather than a standard procurement contract. The activity category is listed as Environment, and the funding aligns with CFDA 15.954, "National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education," which is commonly used for NPS assistance awards tied to conservation and resource management responsibilities.
The notice anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with total estimated funding of $428,700. The award floor and ceiling are both listed as $428,700, which signals that the planned modification amount is fixed rather than a range. A cost sharing or matching requirement applies, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal funds, in-kind services, or other eligible match as required by the underlying agreement terms. Eligibility is limited to state governments, consistent with City of Rocks National Reserve's cooperative management structure and the continuation nature of the award.
Key dates show the notice was posted and created on July 5, 2013, with a closing date of July 12, 2013, and an archive date of August 11, 2013. Because this is a single-source continuation modification rather than a competitive opportunity, the "closing" functions more as a notice period and administrative timeline than a deadline for broad proposal submissions. Anyone who had trouble accessing the full announcement electronically was directed to contact Susan Velie, Contract Specialist, at Olympic National Park (phone 360-565-3114), listed as the point of contact for administrative assistance regarding the notice.
