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 "Engaging Visitors in Bird Ecology at Crater Lake National Park." This announcement is strictly a public notice and not a solicitation; in other words, the NPS is not asking for proposals or accepting applications under this posting. Instead, it indicates the agency plans to move forward with a single, identified partner without full and open competition.
The planned award is structured as a discretionary Cooperative Agreement, reflecting a collaborative arrangement in which the NPS and the recipient are expected to have substantial involvement in carrying out the work. The project falls under the Natural Resources activity category and is associated with CFDA number 15.954. The NPS identified the intended recipient as Klamath Bird Observatory under Cooperative Agreement P16AC00868, and the related funding opportunity is listed as P16AS00243.
Financially, the notice indicates an award ceiling of $149,995 and anticipates one total award. Because it is a notice of intent rather than a competitive opportunity, there is no application deadline and the original closing date is effectively "not applicable." While the posting lists an eligible applicant category as nonprofits that do not have a 501(c)(3) IRS status (other than institutions of higher education), the practical purpose here is informational; the NPS is signaling its intent to fund this specific partner for this specific set of activities rather than opening the work up for competition.
In plain terms, the opportunity centers on visitor engagement and education related to bird ecology at Crater Lake National Park, with the Klamath Bird Observatory positioned to help the NPS deliver interpretive, outreach, or engagement activities that connect park visitors with bird-related natural resource themes. The notice was created on June 22, 2016, and its main function is transparency: informing the public that the NPS plans to make this cooperative agreement award to support those visitor-focused bird ecology efforts at the park.
