Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Bird Monitoring in the Southern Plains opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP13AC00210) is a discretionary funding action from the National Park Service under the Natural Resources activity area. The planned award instrument is a cooperative agreement, and the federal program listing associated with it is CFDA 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to Resources of the National Park System. The agency anticipated making one award with an estimated total funding amount of $120,000. There is no stated award ceiling or floor, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement.
This posting is not a standard competitive grant solicitation. It is a notice of intent indicating the government plans to make a noncompetitive, single-source award under the National Park Service Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The notice cites Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C) as the basis for proceeding without competition, which generally signals the agency has determined that a particular organization is uniquely qualified or otherwise appropriate for the work under an authorized exception to competition.
Eligibility is therefore narrowly defined for this specific action. While the general eligibility field lists "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," the announcement clearly states it is not requesting applications and that the award is intended as a single-source agreement to the Rocky Mountain Bird Observatory. In practice, that means other organizations are not being invited to apply for this funding opportunity, and the public notice primarily serves transparency and documentation purposes rather than opening a competitive application process.
Key dates in the posting show it was created and posted on April 12, 2013, with an original and current closing date of April 17, 2013, and it was archived on May 17, 2013. The short window aligns with how notices of intent and noncompetitive awards are often posted: the "closing date" functions more as an administrative milestone than a deadline for applicants, since no applications are being solicited.
For additional details beyond the summary text, the announcement directs readers to an attached document. If someone could not access the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact was Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392.
