Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "National Park Service Administrative and Technical Support Agreement for Southern Colorado Plateau Network" is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action that was posted on August 1, 2011 under Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIR2121110005. It is structured as a cooperative agreement, and it falls within the Natural Resources activity category. The opportunity is tied to CFDA 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to resources of the National Park System. The intent is to support work connected to the Southern Colorado Plateau Network, which is part of NPS efforts to manage and protect park resources through coordinated scientific, administrative, and technical assistance.
This notice is not a standard competitive grant solicitation. Instead, it is explicitly described as a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award. The announcement states that the action will result in a task agreement issued under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). CESUs are partnership frameworks that allow federal agencies and affiliated institutions to collaborate on research, technical assistance, and education that support public land stewardship. In this case, the NPS is using the CESU mechanism to place a task agreement for administrative and technical support services.
Eligibility is not open-ended. Although the opportunity record lists eligible applicants broadly as "Others" with a note to consult additional eligibility information, the announcement clarifies that this is a single-source award to Northern Arizona University. In practical terms, that means the NPS is not seeking proposals from other entities, and there is no application process for outside applicants. The noncompetitive approach is justified under Department of the Interior policy, specifically DOI 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C, which provides circumstances under which a noncompetitive award can be made.
The total estimated funding amount associated with this action is $262,000. The listing shows no award ceiling or floor (both are recorded as 0), which typically indicates that the agency is not using this posting to set a competitive range and is instead documenting a predetermined funding action. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to provide a non-federal match as a condition of the award.
In terms of timeline, the posting date and creation date are both August 1, 2011. The original and current closing dates are August 5, 2011, and the opportunity was archived on September 4, 2011. The short window between posting and closing is consistent with a notice-of-intent style announcement where the purpose is public transparency about a planned award rather than collecting applications.
For anyone needing access to the full announcement or experiencing difficulty retrieving it electronically, the listed point of contact is Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392.
