Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service grant opportunity titled "Bird Monitoring in the Southern Plains, Sonoran Desert, and Chihuahuan Desert Networks" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIJ2122110003) is a discretionary funding action that the National Park Service planned to issue as a cooperative agreement focused on natural resource monitoring. The purpose of the effort is bird monitoring work connected to three National Park Service inventory and monitoring networks: the Southern Plains, the Sonoran Desert, and the Chihuahuan Desert. While the public listing appears in the format of a typical federal funding notice, it is not an open competition and it is not a solicitation inviting new proposals from the broader public.
This notice functions as a formal notice of intent to make a single, noncompetitive award under the National Park Service Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The announcement states that the award will be made through a task agreement mechanism within the CESU framework, and that it is being issued as a noncompetitive action in accordance with Department of the Interior policy (DOI 505 DM 2.12C), which covers circumstances where a single-source award is justified. In practical terms, that means the National Park Service already identified the intended recipient and is publishing the notice to document the agency decision rather than to request applications.
The opportunity anticipates one award with an estimated total funding amount of $72,069. No cost sharing or matching funds are required. The award ceiling and award floor are both listed as $0 in the posting, which usually indicates that those fields were not used to define a range for this particular notice, rather than implying the project has no funding. The listing also includes a placeholder CFDA number of 00.000 (Not Elsewhere Classified), which is sometimes used when the posting is primarily administrative in nature or when a standard program CFDA listing is not being emphasized in the public notice.
Eligibility is effectively limited to a single organization. The notice explicitly states that the funding announcement is not a request for applications and that it is a single source award to the Rocky Mountain Bird Observatory. Although the eligible applicants field says "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," the clarification makes it clear that other entities are not being invited to apply under this posting.
Key timing details show the opportunity was posted on February 22, 2011, with an original and current closing date of February 26, 2011, and an archive date of March 28, 2011. Those dates reflect the short public posting window typical of notices of intent for noncompetitive awards, where the main goal is transparency and recordkeeping rather than running an application period.
For anyone needing the full announcement materials or having trouble accessing them electronically, the contact listed is Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, at (303) 969-2392.
