Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) funding opportunity titled "Continued GIS support for NPS GIS Program" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS NOIWASOJ2551005201MOD3) is a continuation award intended to maintain ongoing technical and research support for the NPS GIS Program. The work focuses on geographic information systems (GIS) and closely related technologies, including remote sensing, GPS, and mobile mapping. Rather than starting a new competitive program, this award continues previously authorized work under Task Agreement J2551095201, which is being modified and extended.
This action is issued as a continuation under a Cooperative Agreement within the CESU framework, specifically under an existing CESU cooperative agreement identified as H2370094000. CESU agreements are designed to support collaborative work, often between federal land management agencies and universities, for research and technical assistance in natural and cultural resource stewardship. In this case, the NPS is explicitly treating the award as a modification of an existing task agreement rather than opening a new competition.
The opportunity is a notice of intent for a non-competitive award, citing Department of the Interior policy (505 DM 2) as the basis for making an award without full and open competition. In practical terms, that means the NPS had already identified the partner institution through the existing CESU agreement structure and is continuing that relationship to carry forward the same line of work.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the opportunity is categorized as a continuation with a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, and it falls under the Natural Resources activity category. The expected number of awards is one, reinforcing that it is not structured for multiple applicants. The estimated total funding is $240,000, which is also listed as the award ceiling, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The CFDA listing associated with the program is 15.944, Natural Resource Stewardship.
Eligibility is limited to public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, which aligns with typical CESU partners and supports the academic research and technical assistance components implied by the task areas (GIS, remote sensing, GPS, and mobile mapping). The posting date and creation date are both August 4, 2011, with an original and current closing date of August 7, 2011, and the opportunity was archived on September 6, 2011, reflecting a short window consistent with a notice-of-intent, noncompetitive continuation action rather than a standard open solicitation.
For applicants or stakeholders needing access assistance or clarification, the listed contact is Robert Dobson, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-987-6988, associated with Natural Resources within the NPS.
