Opportunity Summary:
Field work for vegetation mapping in Big Bend National Park, Phase 2 (Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOIBIBE11045) is a National Park Service discretionary funding notice that supports natural resource work in Big Bend National Park through a cooperative agreement. The announcement is a notice of intent to make a single award by issuing a task agreement to the Rio Grande Institute under an existing cooperative agreement. In practical terms, this means the agency is not seeking open competition from a broad pool of applicants for this particular phase; instead, it is signaling that the work will be continued with the named partner to carry out the next step of an ongoing vegetation mapping effort.
The purpose of the award is to complete field work needed for vegetation mapping in Big Bend National Park as part of Phase 2 of the project. While the notice does not provide technical specifics on methods, the stated scope centers on field-based data collection that would feed into vegetation maps and related source data products used by the Park Service for resource management, planning, and monitoring. Because it is framed as Phase 2, it also implies that earlier work has already been completed and this task agreement is intended to extend or finish remaining on-the-ground data collection required to support the mapping deliverables.
Financially, the notice lists an estimated total funding amount of $56,860 and anticipates one award. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0, which commonly appears in older postings or notices of intent where the primary funding figure is provided separately as an estimate rather than as a competitively solicited range.
Administratively, the opportunity is categorized as a cooperative agreement (rather than a standard grant), which typically indicates substantial involvement or collaboration by the federal agency in carrying out the project. The CFDA number is shown as 00.000 (Not Elsewhere Classified), and the opportunity is labeled under "Natural Resources" as the activity category. The posting timeline is very short: it was posted and created on March 18, 2011, with an original and current closing date of March 19, 2011, and an archive date of March 21, 2011. This short window aligns with the notice-of-intent nature of the announcement, since it is not structured as an open call for proposals.
Eligibility is listed as "Others" with additional clarification provided in the text: the intended recipient is the Rio Grande Institute via a task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement. For questions or issues accessing the full announcement, the listed contact is Trish Fresquez Hernandez, Contract Specialist, National Park Service, at 505-988-6122.
