Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "National Park Service Annotated Vascular Plant Database and Publication for Grand Canyon Parashant National Monument Phase II" is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary grant action focused on natural resources work, specifically related to documenting and publishing information on vascular plants for Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument. The overall purpose is to support the continued development of an annotated vascular plant database and to produce associated publication products as part of a "Phase II" effort, implying this work follows an earlier phase of data collection and/or compilation.
This notice is not a typical competitive grant solicitation. It is a Notice of Intent (NOI) indicating the NPS plans to make a noncompetitive, single-source cooperative agreement award under the Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The announcement explicitly cites the Department of the Interior policy authority for a noncompetitive award (DOI 505 DM 2.12C), which is commonly used when an agency has a documented justification for awarding to a specific partner rather than opening competition. Because of that structure, the listing is essentially informational and procedural rather than an invitation for new applicants to submit proposals.
The intended recipient is identified in the eligibility information: Southern Utah University. The "Eligible Applicants" field lists "Others" with clarification provided in the text, but the key point is that the award is already designated as a single-source arrangement. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency in the project compared to a standard grant. In practice, that often means NPS staff may collaborate on project direction, technical coordination, review of deliverables, or integration of results into park management needs.
Financially, the estimated total funding for the effort is listed as $49,893, with no cost-sharing or matching requirement. The listing shows an award ceiling and award floor of $0, which in many legacy postings is a data-entry artifact and not an indication that the project is unfunded; the narrative and estimated total funding figure provide the more meaningful signal of the anticipated award amount. The posting also lists "Expected Awards: 0," which aligns with the fact that this is not a competitive opportunity expecting multiple awards; it is a notice describing a planned single-source award action.
Key dates show the notice was posted on July 29, 2010, with an original and current closing date of August 3, 2010, and an archive date of September 2, 2010. With notices like this, the "closing date" typically reflects the end of the public notice period rather than a deadline for proposal submissions, since applications are not being solicited. The CFDA number is shown as 00.000 ("Not Elsewhere Classified"), which is sometimes used when a specific CFDA program number is not assigned or not captured in the posting system for that action.
For anyone needing the complete announcement package or having trouble accessing it electronically, the listed point of contact is Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, at 303-969-2392.
