Opportunity Summary:
The Geographic Resources Program (GRP) GIS Technical Support opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIR1242110309) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action designed to support natural resource work within the National Park System through specialized geographic information system (GIS) technical assistance. The funding instrument identified is a cooperative agreement, and the activity falls under natural resources, aligning with CFDA 15.945 (Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System). The total estimated funding amount listed is $33,000, with the announcement indicating one expected award.
This notice is not a typical competitive grant solicitation. It is explicitly described as a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award, issued under the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The announcement cites the Department of the Interior policy basis for this approach (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C), which is used when an agency is proceeding with a justified noncompetitive action rather than seeking proposals from multiple applicants. In practical terms, that means the agency is announcing its intent to fund a specific partner for a specific task agreement, rather than inviting the public to submit applications.
Eligibility is therefore narrowly defined. While the general eligibility field references "Others" with a note to consult additional eligibility information, the announcement makes the situation clear: this is a single-source award to the University of Colorado Denver. As a result, other organizations or institutions are not being asked to apply, and there is no open competition for the funding described in this notice.
Key administrative details reflect the limited scope and short timeline typical of an intent notice. The opportunity was posted and created on July 26, 2011, with an original and current closing date of July 31, 2011, and an archive date of August 30, 2011. The award ceiling and award floor are both listed as $0, which commonly appears in records like this when the agency is not using the standard competitive range fields, even though an estimated total funding amount is provided.
Anyone needing access to the full announcement or encountering issues retrieving the documentation is directed to contact the NPS grants/agreement specialist listed: William Tallbull, reachable by phone at 303-969-2891.
