Opportunity Summary:
The Landbird Monitoring - Klamath Network Parks opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P13AS00275) is a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior notice of intent to award a cooperative agreement for natural resource stewardship work focused on landbird monitoring in the Klamath Network parks. It is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as public notice that NPS intends to make a single, non-competitive award to a specific partner, the Klamath Bird Observatory (KBO), in order to continue an established long-term collaboration that supports resource stewardship alongside outreach and education.
The award is justified as a sole-source type action (funding without full and open competition) because NPS states that KBO is uniquely qualified to carry out the work. The notice emphasizes KBO's regional presence and deep experience, describing the organization as the premier ornithological science group in the Klamath Region with around two decades of observational research, inventory, monitoring, and science communication. NPS also highlights practical advantages that make KBO difficult to replace locally, including established standardized monitoring methods, existing databases, and staff with strong local knowledge. These assets are presented as important for maintaining consistency in long-term monitoring and for connecting NPS monitoring with related efforts by other state and federal agencies in the region, positioning KBO as an interagency catalyst that helps integrate bird monitoring science across jurisdictions.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which generally signals substantial involvement by NPS in the work as it is carried out. The program is tied to CFDA 15.944 (Natural Resource Stewardship). The expected number of awards is one, and the estimated total funding listed is $78,506, with an award ceiling of $250,000 and no stated award floor. No cost sharing or matching is required. Eligibility is listed broadly for nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), but the text makes clear that NPS intends to fund KBO specifically under this notice rather than run an open competition.
Key dates included in the posting show it was posted and created on September 19, 2013, with an original and current closing date of September 23, 2013, and an archive date of September 30, 2013. For access issues or questions about the announcement, the listed contact is Yvonne Morales at 415-464-5221 or yvonnemorales@nps.gov.
