Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Alibates Flint Quarries NM Traditional Use Study Phase 1 opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP15AC00962) is a discretionary National Park Service funding action intended to support natural resource-related work connected to Alibates Flint Quarries National Monument. The planned award is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the project is expected to involve substantial involvement by the National Park Service during the period of performance rather than operating as a hands-off grant. The opportunity sits under CFDA 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs and activities related to Resources of the National Park System, signaling that the work is part of the broader federal effort to improve knowledge, stewardship, and management of park resources through research partnerships.
This notice is specifically a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award through the National Park Service Great Plains Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). In practical terms, it is not an open competition and it is not asking the public or other institutions to submit applications. Instead, the announcement serves primarily as a public transparency document indicating that the agency plans to make one award under established authorities and policies. The noncompetitive approach is explicitly tied to Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C), which provides the internal justification framework for when and how the Department can make awards without full and open competition.
The announcement indicates there will be one expected award, with an estimated total funding amount of $71,245. No cost sharing or matching funds are required, which means the recipient is not expected to contribute a mandatory portion of the project cost as a condition of receiving the federal funds. The listing shows no award ceiling or floor, which often happens in notices of intent or single-source postings where the total anticipated amount is already stated and the normal competitive range fields are not meaningful.
Eligibility is effectively limited to a named recipient. While the general eligibility field points to "Others (see text field...)," the eligibility information clarifies the key point: this is a single-source award to Texas Tech University. That means Texas Tech University is the intended and only eligible recipient for this specific Phase 1 task agreement under the CESU mechanism, and other entities are not being solicited for proposals.
Key dates in the posting reflect the administrative lifecycle of the notice rather than an application window. The opportunity was posted and created on June 11, 2015, with an original and current closing date of June 21, 2015, and an archive date of July 21, 2015. Because it is not a request for applications, the closing date is best interpreted as the end of the public notice period or the end of the time the notice is actively displayed, not a deadline for submitting proposals from multiple applicants.
For additional details beyond the summary fields, the notice references an attached announcement, and it provides a point of contact for access issues: Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, at 303-969-2303. This contact is specifically for help obtaining the full announcement electronically, which implies that further project scope, deliverables, and administrative specifics were contained in the attachment rather than the short synopsis.
