Opportunity Summary:
This funding opportunity, titled "Classification Support for the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area," was issued by the Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS) as a discretionary cooperative agreement focused on natural resources work. The core purpose is to provide vegetation classification support for the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area (GLCA) vegetation mapping project, which is being carried out under the umbrella of the National Park Service Vegetation Inventory Program (NPSVIP). In practical terms, the work is intended to help the NPS Northern Colorado Plateau Network ensure that vegetation types mapped in GLCA are accurately classified and consistent with the standards used by the NPSVIP, supporting credible, comparable vegetation inventory products that can be used for long-term management and monitoring.
The announcement is tied to an existing partnership arrangement rather than an open competition. It explicitly references Cooperative Agreement Number P15AC00400 (with a legacy identifier P11AC26468) between NPS and NatureServe. NatureServe is the named partner in the underlying cooperative agreement, and the notice states that, unless otherwise specified, the terms and conditions of that cooperative agreement apply to the associated task agreement. This framing indicates the opportunity functions as a notification of intent to award under an established relationship, rather than a solicitation seeking new proposals from the public.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $41,357, and both the award ceiling and award floor are shown as $41,357 and $1 respectively, with the practical implication that the intended award amount is $41,357 for a single anticipated award. The expected number of awards is one. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not expected to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of receiving the award.
In terms of applicant eligibility, the listing identifies eligible applicants as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education). However, the announcement also makes clear that no applications will be accepted because it is a notification of intent to award. The posted date and creation date are April 7, 2015, and the archive date is April 21, 2015, reflecting that this was a time-limited posting mainly to document and publicize the intent to make an award rather than to run a competitive application period. The closing date fields reinforce this by stating "Notification of intent to award. No applications will be accepted."
Administratively, the opportunity number is P15AS00089, and it is associated with CFDA number 15.921, labeled "Rivers, Trails and Conservation Assistance." While the project itself is clearly centered on vegetation mapping and classification support within GLCA, the CFDA association provides a formal catalog reference for the federal assistance context. The awarding agency is the National Park Service, and an additional information link is provided through Grants.gov.
For questions or issues accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Steve Livingston, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2690 or by email at SteveLivingston@nps.gov. The contact section repeats the key procedural point: this is a notice of intent to award and no applications will be accepted.
