Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, posted a Notice of Intent to Award for a project titled "Managing Sierra Nevada Bighorn Sheep in the Yosemite Region." This notice is strictly a public announcement that NPS plans to make an award and is not a request for applications, proposals, or bids. In practical terms, there is no open competition period, no application package to submit, and no closing date for applicants because the agency is signaling its intent to fund a specific partner for a specific set of activities.
The opportunity is listed on Grants.gov under Funding Opportunity Number P14AS00292 and falls under the discretionary funding category. The funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the project as it is carried out (for example, through joint planning, coordination, or shared technical input), rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal engagement. The program area is natural resources, and it is associated with CFDA number 15.944, Natural Resource Stewardship, reflecting the conservation and management focus of the work.
NPS indicated it expects to make one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $100,000. The listing shows no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not required by the announcement to provide non-federal matching funds as a condition of receiving the federal support. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0, which commonly appears in notices like this when the agency is not running a standard competitive announcement with variable award ranges, or when the precise structure is defined through the identified agreement rather than an open solicitation.
The intended recipient is the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, and the planned agreement referenced is Cooperative Agreement P14AC01581. Eligibility in the announcement is limited to state governments, aligning with the identified partner agency. The core purpose, as stated, is to support management activities related to Sierra Nevada bighorn sheep in the Yosemite region, consistent with NPS natural resource stewardship responsibilities and interagency wildlife management collaboration.
Key dates in the posting show it was posted and created on September 2, 2014, and archived on September 9, 2014. Both the original and current closing dates are explicitly noted as "This is not a request for applications," reinforcing that the posting functions as a transparency notice rather than a competitive funding opportunity.
For access issues or questions about the full announcement, the notice provides a contact: William Nash, Contract Specialist, National Park Service, at (415) 623-2262 and WilliamNash@nps.gov. The listing also points to Grants.gov for the additional information link.
