Opportunity Summary:

The grant opportunity titled "Multiyear Collaborative Agreement Between the National Park Service and the PIMA Association of Governments (PAG) to Provide High Resolution Aerial Imagery to Saguaro NP and Other Members of PAG" is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding announcement focused on natural resources work, specifically the acquisition and sharing of high-resolution aerial imagery. The basic purpose is to support Saguaro National Park (Saguaro NP) and other participating local or regional entities within the PAG membership by ensuring they have access to detailed, current aerial imagery that can be used for mapping, planning, resource monitoring, and related land management needs.

This announcement is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning it is intended to be a collaborative arrangement rather than a simple purchase of services. In practice, cooperative agreements typically involve substantial involvement from the federal agency during the project, such as coordination on data standards, coverage areas, update cycles, delivery formats, and how the imagery is shared and used across multiple partners. The emphasis on a "multiyear" agreement signals that the effort is expected to span more than a single budget year, which is common for imagery programs that require periodic updates and coordinated planning for flights, processing, and distribution.

A key feature of the opportunity is that it is explicitly a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single award to the PIMA Association of Governments. The announcement cites Department of the Interior policy (505 DM 2) as the authority for using a noncompetitive approach, which generally indicates the agency has determined that PAG is uniquely positioned to carry out the work or that there is a compelling reason to partner specifically with PAG rather than opening the funding to broad competition. In other words, this is not a typical open call for multiple applicants; it is a formal public notice that NPS plans to fund PAG directly under the referenced policy framework.

From the administrative details provided, the opportunity was posted and created on August 26, 2010, had an original and current closing date of August 30, 2010, and was archived on August 31, 2010. Those dates reflect the short window that often accompanies notices of intent for single-source awards, where the posting functions more as a transparency requirement than as a competitive solicitation process. The listing notes there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not be required to contribute a defined non-federal match as a condition of receiving the award.

Eligibility is listed as "Nonprofits that do not have a 501(c)(3) status with the IRS, other than institutions of higher education," which aligns with the nature of councils of governments or similar regional planning organizations that may not be organized as 501(c)(3) charities but still operate as nonprofit or quasi-governmental entities. The funding activity category is labeled "Natural Resources," and the CFDA number is shown as 00.000 (Not Elsewhere Classified), which is sometimes used in systems when an activity does not map neatly onto a single standard CFDA program code or when the posting is primarily informational.

For applicants or members of the public seeking help accessing the full announcement, the contact provided is Gary Jordahl, Chief, GLCA Contracting Office, with a phone number of 928-608-6507, along with a general "Help Desk" reference. The administering agency is the National Park Service, and the funding opportunity number is NPSNOISAGU100078, which can be used to reference the posting in archives or agency records.

Overall, the opportunity describes a targeted, collaborative federal-local partnership designed to provide high-resolution aerial imagery that benefits Saguaro National Park while also supporting broader regional imagery needs among PAG members, using a noncompetitive cooperative agreement mechanism authorized under Department of the Interior policy.
