Opportunity Summary:
The opportunity titled "Modification to Add Funds for Administration and Management of CIRO" (Funding Opportunity Number P09AC00001) is presented by the National Park Service (NPS) as a continuation action rather than a competitive grant solicitation. Although it appears in the grants listing format, the agency states plainly that it is not a Funding Opportunity Announcement open for general competition. Instead, it is a Notice of Intent to make an award to a single source entity under the Department of the Interior policy cited as 505 DM 2, specifically relying on legislative intent as the justification for limiting the award to one recipient. In practical terms, this means the NPS already has an identified partner and is documenting its intent to modify an existing arrangement to add funding for administration and management of CIRO.
The funding mechanism identified is a Cooperative Agreement, which generally indicates an assistance relationship where the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the funded work (as opposed to a standard grant where the recipient typically has more independent control). The opportunity category is labeled "Continuation," reinforcing that it is connected to an existing award or ongoing project rather than a new standalone competition. The activity category is listed as "Other," with the explanation pointing to "National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach and Education," signaling that the work aligns with NPS programmatic purposes tied to stewardship, public engagement, and resource protection responsibilities.
Financially, the notice indicates a single expected award (ExpectedAwards: 1) with an EstimatedTotalFunding of $483,271. The award ceiling and floor are both $483,271, which effectively means the intended modification amount is fixed and not a range. A cost sharing or matching requirement is marked as "Yes," suggesting that the recipient is expected to contribute non-federal resources (cash or allowable in-kind contributions) according to the terms of the cooperative agreement, though the specific match percentage or structure is not provided in the summary data and would normally be spelled out in the attached Notice of Intent or the underlying agreement documentation.
Eligibility is restricted to state governments, which aligns with the single-source nature of the action and reinforces that the intended recipient is a state-level entity. The listing is associated with CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) number 15.954, "National Park Service Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education," which is the programmatic umbrella under which the funding is being administered.
In terms of timing, the posting and creation date are both April 27, 2015. The original and current closing date are both May 27, 2015, and the archive date is June 26, 2015. Even though a closing date is displayed, the agency description makes clear that the posting functions as a public notice of a planned single-source award modification rather than an invitation for multiple applicants to submit proposals.
For additional information or for access issues related to the full announcement materials, the point of contact listed is Susan Velie, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 360-565-3114, associated with Olympic National Park (MABO). The notice also instructs readers to consult the attached Notice of Intent for complete details, which would typically include the legal and factual basis for the single-source determination, the identity of the intended recipient, the scope of work for the administration and management activities tied to CIRO, and any specific cost-share terms or reporting requirements.
