Opportunity Summary:
The Landbird Monitoring 2010 Option opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOINOCAJ9471101071) is a National Park Service notice of intent to make a single-source, noncompetitive award to the Institute for Bird Populations (IBP), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Point Reyes Station, California. It is posted as a public notice rather than an open solicitation, meaning it is not asking the public to apply and it is not being competed. The NPS cites Department of Interior policy (505 DM 2) and a "unique qualifications" justification for using a single-source approach, pointing to IBP's location, specialized technical expertise, and extensive prior work with the parks involved.
The purpose of the award is to support avian studies and continued landbird monitoring work during the final year of an existing five-year cooperative agreement for avian monitoring and related services. The NPS plans to do this through a Task Agreement under that broader cooperative relationship, with an estimated total funding amount of $47,283 (also listed as the award ceiling, with an award floor of $1). The funding instrument type is identified as a cooperative agreement, and the activity area is natural resources. Only one award is expected.
Programmatically, the work sits within the North Coast and Cascades Network (NCCN), a group of National Park Service units in the Pacific Northwest that includes three large natural-area parks (Mount Rainier, North Cascades, and Olympic National Parks) and several smaller cultural and historical parks (Ebey's Landing, Fort Vancouver, Lewis and Clark, and San Juan Island) across western Washington and Oregon. Within this network, breeding landbird populations are treated as a key ecological indicator, chosen for long-term monitoring to help the parks track changes in ecosystem condition over time.
The notice explains that IBP has become the leading expert partner for this specific network's bird inventory and monitoring needs because of a long history of collaboration with NPS and concrete prior deliverables in the region. It highlights IBP's role beginning in 2000 with North Cascades National Park, including synthesizing expert-panel recommendations for designing a spatially extensive inventory and monitoring program, and later conducting large-scale avian inventories across multiple NCCN parks, with fieldwork completed in 2004. It also notes that in 2003 IBP entered into a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Geological Survey to help NCCN develop a Landbird Monitoring Plan, including a peer-reviewed monitoring protocol and a manual of Standard Operating Procedures; drafts were written and peer reviewed in 2006. In practical terms, the protocols are intended to let park managers and scientists understand how bird communities and habitat conditions respond to natural processes, separate human-caused effects from natural variation, detect early signs of environmental impairment, and provide credible, accessible information for management decisions, research, and public education.
Because this is strictly a notice of intent for a single recipient, the typical grant sections on eligibility, submission, and review are essentially reiterations that there is no application process. While the listing includes an "eligible applicants" category (nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status other than institutions of higher education), the text makes clear the only intended awardee is the Institute for Bird Populations and the announcement is issued to document that intent publicly rather than to solicit competing proposals. No cost sharing or matching requirement is listed.
Key dates in the posting show it was posted and created on July 30, 2010, with a listed closing date of August 10, 2010, and an archive date of September 9, 2010. For questions, the agency contact is Barry Fetzer, Supervisory Contract Specialist at North Cascades National Park in Sedro Woolley, Washington, reachable by email at Barryfetzer@nps.gov (and a phone number is also provided in the notice).
