Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service issued a discretionary funding notice (Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOIBIBE11047) for a natural resources project titled "Hydrogeologic investigation of springs along the Pecos River in West Texas." The notice is specifically a notice of intent to award, meaning the agency is not seeking open competition for this particular effort. Instead, the Park Service planned to make a single award as a task agreement under an already-existing cooperative agreement, with Sul Ross State University identified as the intended recipient. The purpose of the task agreement is to carry out a hydrogeologic investigation focused on springs located along the Pecos River in West Texas, work that typically involves studying groundwater and spring systems to better understand where the water comes from, how it moves through the subsurface, and what factors affect spring flow and condition.
The funding mechanism listed is a Cooperative Agreement, which generally indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency during the project, such as coordination on technical scope, data needs, field access, or alignment with resource management priorities. The anticipated number of awards was one, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement stated. The estimated total funding amount for the effort was $25,953. The notice did not specify an award ceiling or floor (both shown as $0), which commonly appears in brief intent-to-award postings where the key point is identifying the intended awardee and the planned amount rather than setting competitive limits.
Key dates show the notice was posted and created on March 21, 2011, with an original and current closing date of March 22, 2011, and an archive date of March 23, 2011. This very short open period is consistent with an intent-to-award announcement rather than a solicitation inviting multiple applicants. Eligibility is effectively limited by the intent-to-award language, with the additional eligibility note clarifying that Sul Ross State University is the intended recipient under the existing cooperative agreement framework.
For assistance accessing the full announcement, the notice lists a National Park Service contact: Trish Fresquez Hernandez, Contract Specialist, phone 505-988-6122.
