Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service funding opportunity titled "A Vegetation Map for White Sand NM, Phase 2" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP14AC00284) is a discretionary cooperative agreement focused on natural resource work in the National Park System. The project is aimed at producing or completing a vegetation map for White Sands National Monument as a second phase effort, which suggests it builds on an earlier phase of mapping or data development and continues the work toward a more complete, usable vegetation dataset for park management and research purposes.
This notice is not an open solicitation and is not requesting applications from the public. Instead, it is a Notice of Intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The justification for using a noncompetitive process is cited as consistent with Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C). In practical terms, that means the agency has already identified the intended recipient and is publishing the notice to document transparency and compliance with internal award requirements rather than to invite competing proposals.
The only expected award is one cooperative agreement, and the identified recipient is the University of New Mexico. The announcement lists the relevant assistance listing (CFDA) number as 15.945, tied to Cooperative Research and Training Programs and Resources of the National Park System, which fits the CESU model of partnering with universities and other research institutions to carry out applied science and technical support for parks. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated, so the recipient is not expected to provide a formal non-federal match as a condition of the award.
Financially, the estimated total funding for the project is $69,492. The posting date and creation date are both April 2, 2014, with an original and current closing date of April 7, 2014, and an archive date of May 7, 2014. Even though a closing date is shown, in this context it functions more like an administrative timeline for the notice rather than an application deadline, since the announcement explicitly states it is not a request for applications. The award ceiling and floor are listed as $0, which is a common artifact in notices of intent or noncompetitive postings where the funding amount is provided elsewhere (here, as the estimated total).
For additional details or if there are access issues with the full announcement, the listed contact is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2303.
