Opportunity Summary:
The Guadalupe Mountains National Park Vegetation Map Accuracy Assessment opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS) Notice of Intent to make a single, non-competitive award under an existing Gulf Coast Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Master Cooperative Agreement (P12AC51051), using the Department of the Interior authority at 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C. In practical terms, this is not an open competition or a request for proposals from the general public. Instead, it signals that NPS intends to issue a specific Task Agreement to one predetermined partner to carry out a defined piece of work related to natural resource management at Guadalupe Mountains National Park.
The project focus is an accuracy assessment of a vegetation map for Guadalupe Mountains National Park. The central goal of this kind of assessment is to quantify how well the mapped vegetation types match what is actually present on the ground at the same locations. The resulting accuracy metrics give map users a clear, usable index of reliability by vegetation class. When a particular map class shows a high percent accuracy, managers and researchers can have greater confidence that the map correctly represents that vegetation type in the real world; when accuracy is low, users are alerted to greater uncertainty and can adjust decisions, analyses, or future field work accordingly. This is a common and important quality-control step for vegetation mapping products that may be used for planning, monitoring, habitat evaluation, fire and fuels work, invasive species management, and other park stewardship activities.
Administratively, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, with the activity category listed as natural resources. The total estimated funding amount is $156,229, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. Only one award was expected. Although the listing includes standard fields like award ceiling and award floor, both are shown as $0, which typically indicates that the specific award amount is managed through the task agreement and supporting documentation rather than through a competitive range structure.
Eligibility is effectively limited because this is a single-source action. The announcement explicitly states that it is not a request for applications and that the intended recipient is the University of Texas at Austin, Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center. The posting date was August 3, 2013, with an original and current closing date of August 5, 2013, and an archive date of September 4, 2013, reflecting how quickly notices of intent for directed awards may be posted and closed for public awareness purposes rather than for proposal intake. The funding opportunity number is NPS NOI GUMO 23099, and the CFDA listing references 15.945, which covers cooperative research and training programs tied to resources of the National Park System.
