Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) funding opportunity titled "National Park National Resource Assessments Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania County Battlefields Memorial National Military Park" is a discretionary grant action intended to support natural resource assessment work for Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania County Battlefields Memorial National Military Park. The award is structured as a Cooperative Agreement, which generally means the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project as it is carried out, rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The activity falls under the natural resources category and is associated with CFDA 15.945, which covers cooperative research and training programs that support resources of the National Park System.
This notice is not an open, competitive solicitation. Instead, it is a formal Notice of Intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award under the Department of the Interior authority cited as DOI 505 DM 2.12C. In practice, that means the agency has already identified the intended recipient and is documenting its intent to proceed without a competitive application process. The announcement explicitly states it is not a request for applications and that the project is a single source award to Penn State University. Because it is not a competition, other organizations are not being invited to apply through this posting, even though the general eligibility field is listed as "Others" with clarification in the additional eligibility information.
The work will be executed through a task agreement under the National Park Service Chesapeake Watershed Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CW CESU). CESUs are cooperative networks designed to connect federal agencies with universities and other partners to conduct research, technical assistance, and education related to public trust resources. By placing the work under the CW CESU, the NPS is using an established partnership mechanism that facilitates collaborative research and resource management support tied to the Chesapeake watershed region.
Financially, the announcement lists an estimated total funding amount of $56,136, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. The posting shows one expected award. While the award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0, that typically reflects a data-entry convention in some postings rather than an indication that no funds will be awarded, especially since the estimated total funding is clearly stated. The timeline is short: it was posted and created on August 22, 2011, with an original and current closing date of August 25, 2011, and an archive date of September 24, 2011. In a notice-of-intent context, this kind of brief window is often used for public transparency rather than to collect applications.
For additional details beyond the summary fields, the NPS directs readers to the attached announcement. Anyone who cannot access the full announcement electronically is instructed to contact Rita Mihalik, Contract Specialist, at 301-432-7890 or via email at ritamihalik@nps.gov.
