Opportunity Summary:

The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a Notice of Intent to Award for a project titled "Climate Data Management for the North Coast and Cascades Network." This announcement is not a call for proposals and is not open for competitive applications. Instead, it serves as a public notice that NPS plans to make a single, non-competitive award to support specific project activities related to managing climate data for the North Coast and Cascades Network, a group of parks and affiliated sites that track and respond to environmental conditions across the Pacific Northwest.

The planned funding would be provided through a cooperative agreement, reflecting a partnership-style arrangement where NPS and the recipient typically collaborate on the work. The intended recipient is the Desert Research Institute (DRI), operating as a partner under the Great Basin Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The work would be carried out under Task Agreement P16AC01777, tied to Cooperative Agreement P16AC01260. In practical terms, this means the project is being implemented through an established inter-institutional framework that NPS uses to connect with research organizations and universities for scientific and technical support.

From a program classification standpoint, the opportunity is listed as a discretionary funding action in the natural resources area, associated with CFDA number 15.945. Although the eligibility field indicates public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, this particular notice makes clear that NPS is not soliciting applications because it intends to fund the work directly through the identified partner and existing agreement structure.

The financial scope is relatively small and targeted: the award ceiling is $24,998, and NPS expects to make one award. The opportunity record was created on September 9, 2016, and it does not include an application deadline because no application process is being offered. Overall, the notice communicates that NPS has a defined need for climate data management support within the North Coast and Cascades Network and intends to meet that need by issuing a single task agreement to DRI under the CESU partnership mechanism rather than opening the work to full and open competition.
