Opportunity Summary:
The Cooperative Agreement for Natural and Cultural Resource Protection, Management, and Interpretation (Funding Opportunity Number P13AS00239) is a discretionary National Park Service (NPS) funding action under the U.S. Department of the Interior. It was issued as a Notice of Intent to Award, meaning it is not an open solicitation and not a request for applications. Instead, the notice serves as a public statement that the NPS plans to make a single cooperative agreement award without full and open competition.
The purpose of the award is to support collaborative project activities at Pinnacles National Park (PINN) that advance long-term natural and cultural resource stewardship. The work described centers on protecting and managing park resources while also supporting scientific research, monitoring, and education connected to the park. In practical terms, the cooperative agreement structure signals that the NPS expects to remain actively involved in the project’s implementation, rather than simply providing funds through a more hands-off grant.
The intended recipient is the Ventana Wildlife Society (VWS), a nonprofit organization with 501(c)(3) status (and not an institution of higher education). The NPS justifies the noncompetitive approach by stating that VWS has unique qualifications needed for these activities. The notice highlights factors such as VWS’s location and proximity, property ownership considerations, its ability to provide voluntary support, potential cost-sharing capacity if applicable, and specialized technical expertise. The overall framing emphasizes continuation of an established, long-term partnership between VWS and the NPS focused on stewardship, research, monitoring, and public education at Pinnacles.
Financially, the notice lists an estimated total funding amount of $500,000, with an expected number of awards of one. The posting date and creation date are both August 29, 2013, with an original and current closing date of September 2, 2013, and an archive date of September 6, 2013. The opportunity is categorized under Natural Resources, and it references CFDA number 15.944 (Natural Resource Stewardship). The listing also indicates no cost-sharing or matching requirement. Award ceiling and floor are shown as $0, which commonly reflects that a specific ceiling/floor is not being set in the public synopsis even though an estimated total amount is provided.
