Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS) intent to make a single, specific cooperative agreement award for a project called "Coordination of Protocol Reviews for Long Term Monitoring in the Pacific West Region of the National Park Service." It is issued by the United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service, and it is explicitly not a request for applications. In other words, the announcement is meant to inform the public that NPS plans to fund a particular partner for a defined set of activities, rather than open the work up to competitive proposals.
The planned award is tied to Task Agreement number P12AC10447 under an existing Cooperative Agreement, H8W07110001, with the University of Washington. The University of Washington is identified as a partner under the Pacific Northwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), which is a network commonly used by federal agencies to collaborate with universities and other partners on research, technical assistance, and science support. The purpose of the project, as reflected in the title, is to coordinate reviews of monitoring protocols used for long term monitoring in the NPS Pacific West Region. While the notice does not provide a detailed statement of work, "protocol reviews" in this context generally refers to structured evaluation of standardized methods used to collect consistent, repeatable monitoring data over time, with coordination implying facilitation, scheduling, tracking, and ensuring review processes are completed and documented across programs or parks.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which typically indicates substantial involvement by NPS in the execution of the work (for example, collaboration on technical direction, review, and coordination). The activity category is natural resources, aligning the project with ecological or resource monitoring needs within the national park system. The announcement lists one expected award, reinforcing that this is a sole, intended recipient situation rather than a competition.
The total funding amount is fixed: both the award ceiling and award floor are listed as $35,379, meaning the anticipated award amount is $35,379. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The CFDA listing includes 15.945, tied to Cooperative Research and Training Programs and Resources of the National Park System, which places the work within NPS-related research and support activities carried out through cooperative partnerships. Eligible applicants are described broadly as public and state controlled institutions of higher education, but because the notice is an intent to award without full and open competition under a specific task agreement with a named partner, the practical effect is that it is not open for new applicants.
The timeline in the posting reflects the administrative nature of the notice rather than a real application window. The posted date and creation date are May 17, 2012, with an original and current closing date of May 18, 2012, and an archive date of June 17, 2012. That very short interval is typical for public notice postings where the agency is documenting its intent to proceed with a noncompetitive award rather than inviting submissions.
For access issues or questions about the announcement, the listed contact is Lilette Baltodano, Financial Agreements Officer, at (415) 623-2251. The funding opportunity number is NPS NOIPWRP12AC10447, which identifies this particular notice of intent within NPS Pacific West Region posting records.
