Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service, within the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a Notice of Intent to Award for a project titled "Develop a Monitoring Plan for Brachyramphys Murrelets in Alaska." This notice is meant to inform the public that NPS planned to fund a specific set of project activities through a cooperative agreement arrangement, and it is explicitly not a request for applications or a competitive solicitation. In other words, the agency was not opening the opportunity up for new proposals; it was announcing its intent to make an award through an existing partnership mechanism.
The planned award was structured as a Task Agreement (P12AC15003) issued under an existing Cooperative Agreement (H8W07110001) with Oregon State University, which participates as a partner under the Pacific Northwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit. The project falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 15.945, which covers cooperative research and training programs related to resources of the National Park System. The funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement, indicating that NPS expected to have substantial involvement in the work as it was carried out, rather than simply issuing a standard grant with minimal federal participation.
Financially, the opportunity anticipated a single award, with both the award ceiling and award floor set at $25,000, meaning the intended project amount was fixed at $25,000. There was no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient was not expected to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of the award. While the eligible applicant category listed public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, the notice makes clear that the award was intended for Oregon State University under the specified cooperative agreement and was being issued without full and open competition.
The timing information reflects how narrow and administrative the notice was. It was posted and created on August 20, 2012, with an original and current closing date of August 21, 2012, and it was archived on September 20, 2012. This short window aligns with the fact that it was a public notice of a planned non-competitive award rather than an application-based funding opportunity.
For access issues or questions about the announcement, the listed contact was Lilette Baltodano, Financial Agreements Officer, reachable by phone at 415-623-2251. The funding opportunity number associated with the notice is NPS PWRNOIP12AC15003, and the title is repeated consistently as "Develop a Monitoring Plan for Brachyramphys Murrelets in Alaska," signaling the central deliverable: the development of a monitoring plan for Brachyramphys murrelets in Alaska in support of NPS natural resource stewardship and research needs.
