Opportunity Summary:
The "National Park Service CHDN Administrative Support" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIR2124110012 / R2124110027) is a National Park Service (NPS) cooperative agreement action intended to fund administrative support work under the Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The activity is categorized under Natural Resources and is associated with CFDA 15.945, which covers cooperative research and training programs related to resources of the National Park System. In practical terms, this is not a broad, open competition for new applicants; it is an administrative and procedural notice describing NPS intent to issue a task agreement through an existing CESU partnership mechanism.
A key point is that this announcement is explicitly described as a notice of intent for a noncompetitive (single-source) award, citing Department of the Interior policy at 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C as the basis for not competing the award. The announcement states clearly that it is not a request for applications and that the award is intended for a single recipient: New Mexico State University. Because it is a single-source action under an established cooperative framework, other organizations are not being solicited to apply, even though the eligibility field in the data lists "Others" with clarification provided in the eligibility narrative.
The funding details indicate an estimated total funding amount of $46,530, with an expected number of awards of 1. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0, which commonly occurs in legacy postings or notices where the system fields are not used to express a fixed ceiling/floor, while the narrative or estimated total funding figure conveys the expected amount for the task agreement.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted and created on August 22, 2011, with an original and current closing date of August 26, 2011, and an archive date of September 25, 2011. Those short turnaround dates fit with the nature of the notice: it functions more as a public posting to document the government decision to proceed with a noncompetitive cooperative agreement action rather than as an application window for competing proposals.
For additional details or if someone had trouble accessing the full announcement at the time, the point of contact listed is Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, at (303) 969-2392.
