Opportunity Summary:

The City of Rocks National Reserve Fiscal Year 2015 Funding notice (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP02AC00001) is a National Park Service (NPS) posting that functions as a notice of intent to make a single award rather than an open, competitive grant solicitation. In other words, it is explicitly not a funding opportunity announcement inviting multiple applications. Instead, it announces the agency's plan to issue a continuation award to one identified recipient based on legislative intent, citing Department of the Interior policy at 505 DM 2 as the authority for making a single-source award. The full details supporting that intent were indicated as being contained in an attachment referenced in the notice.

The award instrument identified is a cooperative agreement, which typically means the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in carrying out the work compared to a standard grant. The opportunity is categorized under "Continuation" funding, indicating it is meant to continue an existing effort or relationship rather than start a brand-new, competed project. The activity category is listed as National Park Operations (noted under "Other" with a clarification), and the CFDA program associated with it is 15.954, National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education. The eligible applicant type is limited to state governments, reinforcing that this is aimed at a governmental partner rather than nonprofits, universities, or private entities.

Funding details are very specific and fixed: the notice anticipates one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $483,271. Both the award ceiling and award floor are also set at $483,271, which effectively signals a single, predetermined funding amount rather than a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not expected to provide a specified non-federal share as a condition of the award.

Key administrative dates show the notice was posted and created on April 15, 2015, with an original and current closing date of May 15, 2015, and an archive date of June 14, 2015. These dates reflect the public posting window for the notice of intent rather than a typical competitive application deadline, since the purpose is to document and communicate the planned single-source action.
