Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service opportunity titled "Co Location of Sonoran Desert Network to Facilitate Cooperative Projects" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIJ2123107011) is a discretionary, natural-resources focused cooperative agreement that was issued as a Notice of Intent rather than an open call for proposals. In plain terms, it is not a competitive grant opportunity where multiple applicants submit applications for review. Instead, the National Park Service (NPS) announced its intent to make a single, noncompetitive award under the Department of the Interior authority cited as DOI 505 DM 2.12C, using the Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) mechanism and specifically issuing the award as a task agreement.
The purpose of the award is to support co-location and related coordination efforts for the Sonoran Desert Network in order to facilitate cooperative projects. The Sonoran Desert Network is an NPS network that supports monitoring, science, and resource management collaboration across parks in the Sonoran Desert region, and the project described here is meant to strengthen that collaboration by working closely with the Sonoran Institute. The Sonoran Institute is identified as the partner organization that works with NPS in collaboration with the Sonoran Desert Network, and the announcement makes clear that this particular award is intended specifically for that organization.
From an administrative and funding standpoint, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $52,223 and anticipates exactly one award. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated. The award ceiling and award floor are both listed as $0, which typically indicates that the public-facing synopsis is not using those fields to define minimum or maximum award sizes and that the relevant funding amount is instead captured in the "EstimatedTotalFunding" figure and the internal task agreement details.
Key dates show that the notice was posted and created on May 11, 2010, with an original and current closing date of May 15, 2010, and an archive date of June 14, 2010. Those dates align with how notices of intent for single-source awards are often handled: the posting functions more as a public transparency step and documentation of the agency's intent rather than a window for competing applications.
Eligibility is also framed accordingly. While the system category lists eligible applicants as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," the eligibility information explicitly states that this funding announcement is not a request for applications and that it is a single source award to the Sonoran Institute. In other words, no other organizations were being solicited to apply through this posting.
