Opportunity Summary:
The "Landscape Assessment" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIR8213120090) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action that will be issued as a cooperative agreement under the Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). Rather than being an open, competitive grant solicitation, this notice functions as a formal announcement of the agency's intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award. The stated purpose is to support a landscape assessment effort that falls within the NPS natural resources mission area and aligns with the CESU model, which is designed to connect federal land management needs with research and technical expertise from partner institutions.
A key point is that this announcement is explicitly not a request for applications. The eligibility language clarifies that the award is intended for a specific recipient: Northern Arizona University. In other words, other organizations are not being invited to submit proposals, and there is no competition for this funding. The noncompetitive approach is justified under Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C), which covers circumstances where single-source or otherwise noncompetitive financial assistance is appropriate.
From a funding perspective, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $123,071, with an expected number of awards of one. No cost sharing or matching funds are required. The listing shows no award ceiling or floor (both indicated as 0), which typically signals that the agency is not using those fields to set bounds in the public synopsis, especially since the award amount is already effectively defined by the single-source intent and associated task agreement.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted and created on June 21, 2012, with an original and current closing date of June 26, 2012, and an archive date of July 26, 2012. The short window between posting and closing is consistent with an intent-to-award notice where the recipient has already been identified and the posting serves transparency and documentation purposes rather than proposal intake.
The funding activity category is Natural Resources, and the CFDA number referenced is 15.945, which corresponds to Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System. This indicates the work is framed as cooperative research and/or technical support that benefits NPS-managed resources and programs, using the CESU partnership structure to carry out that work.
