Opportunity Summary:
The Geologic Resources Inventory grant opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIWASOJ2360114001) is a National Park Service discretionary funding notice tied to the agency's ongoing Geologic Resource Inventory program. The purpose of the funding is to support continued work that helps the National Park Service document, standardize, and deliver geologic information for parks in usable digital formats, strengthening how geologic resources are understood and managed across the National Park System. The opportunity sits within the Natural Resources funding activity category and is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the project is intended to be carried out through close collaboration between the federal agency and the partner institution rather than as a typical procurement contract.
This notice is specifically a notice of intent to make a single, non-competitive award to Colorado State University in Fort Collins, Colorado. The award is being made under an existing Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Cooperative Agreement (No. H2370094000), and the National Park Service cites Department of the Interior policy (Department Manual 505 DM 2) as the basis for issuing the award without competition. In practical terms, that means the agency has already identified CSU as the partner for this work and is using an established inter-institutional framework to execute the next phase through a task agreement.
The scope of work is organized around three core components. First is digital geologic investigation and production, which typically includes compiling and interpreting geologic mapping and related datasets and producing standardized digital geologic products that can be used for park planning, resource protection, and interpretation. Second is database management, reflecting the need to store, maintain, update, and deliver the resulting geologic data in a consistent system so it remains accessible and useful over time. Third is training and professional development, indicating that the agreement also supports building capacity among staff or partners by improving technical skills, workflows, and best practices for handling geologic data and applying it in park management contexts.
The opportunity anticipated one award with an estimated total funding amount of $931,387, which is also listed as the award ceiling, while the award floor is $0. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated. The eligible applicant category is listed as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, aligning with the selection of Colorado State University as the intended recipient. The posting and creation date were February 2, 2011, with an original and current closing date of February 9, 2011, and an archive date of March 11, 2011, reflecting that the announcement functioned primarily as a formal public notice of the intended non-competitive action rather than an open solicitation expecting multiple applications.
For access issues or questions related to the announcement, the listed point of contact is Robert Dobson, Contract Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 303-987-6988.
