Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "Hydrologic modeling and investigation at White Sands National Monument" (Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOIWHSA120031) is a National Park Service discretionary grant action in the natural resources area, tied to CFDA 15.944 (Natural Resource Stewardship). The announcement is not a typical open competition. Instead, it is a formal notice of intent stating that the National Park Service plans to make a single award as a task agreement under an already existing cooperative agreement, specifically to the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology. In practical terms, that means the agency is signaling an intended, pre-identified partner and a defined scope of work rather than soliciting proposals broadly from the public.
The purpose of the task agreement is to carry out hydrologic modeling and related investigation work at White Sands National Monument. While the notice is brief and does not provide a detailed statement of work, the title and description indicate the project will focus on analyzing water-related processes at the monument using modeling tools and supporting investigation, which typically can include compiling and interpreting existing hydrologic data, developing or refining conceptual and numerical models, and assessing how water moves through the local system in ways that matter for resource stewardship and management decisions.
From an administrative standpoint, the expected number of awards is one, and the total estimated funding amount is listed as $39,600. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as zero, which often appears in notices that are not structured as open solicitations with variable award sizes, but rather as a planned action under an existing agreement where the funding level is specified elsewhere or is fixed for the task. The opportunity was posted and created on July 20, 2012, with an original and current closing date of July 21, 2012, and an archive date of July 22, 2012, reflecting that it functioned as a short-duration public notice rather than a longer open application window.
Eligibility is effectively limited by the intent language: although the system field lists eligible applicants as "Others" with clarification in the eligibility text, the notice states the intended recipient is the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology through a task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement. Anyone needing assistance accessing the announcement electronically is directed to contact Trish Fresquez Hernandez, Contract Specialist, at 505-988-6122.
