Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Administrative and Technical Support Agreement for the Southern Colorado Plateau Network (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIJ2121100011) is a discretionary funding action by the National Park Service that was posted on August 3, 2010 and closed on August 8, 2010, with the notice archived on September 7, 2010. It is categorized under Natural Resources and uses a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. The estimated total funding associated with this action is $210,132. No cost sharing or matching is required, and no award ceiling or floor is specified in the listing.
This notice is not a typical competitive grant solicitation. Instead, it functions as a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award under the Department of the Interior policy referenced as DOI 505 DM 2.12C. The agreement is expected to be issued as a task agreement under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), a framework used by NPS to partner with qualified institutions for research, technical assistance, and related support that helps meet resource management and science needs. While the opportunity title emphasizes administrative and technical support for the Southern Colorado Plateau Network, the posted summary points readers to an attached announcement for the detailed scope and deliverables.
Eligibility is effectively closed to the broader public because the agency states the announcement is not a request for applications. The intended recipient is explicitly identified as Northern Arizona University, meaning the funding action is structured as a directed award rather than an open competition. The listing also notes “ExpectedAwards: 0,†which can appear confusing at first glance, but in notices like this it often reflects that the posting is informational (to document intent and comply with transparency requirements) rather than a competition anticipating multiple awards.
For questions or if there are issues accessing the full announcement materials electronically, the National Park Service provided a point of contact: Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, at (303) 969-2392.
