Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "National Park Service Collaborative Restoration Projects with Southwest EPMT" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS NOIP15AC00647) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action focused on natural resources work within the National Park System. It is issued under CFDA 15.945, which covers cooperative research and training programs and resources of the National Park System. The mechanism is a Cooperative Agreement, and the action is specifically described as resulting in a task agreement award under the National Park Service Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), a partnership framework the NPS uses to carry out ecosystem research, technical assistance, and restoration-related projects collaboratively.
This notice is not a traditional grant competition and is not a request for applications. Instead, it functions as a notice of intent for a single-source, noncompetitive award, meaning the agency has already identified the intended recipient and does not plan to solicit or evaluate proposals from multiple applicants. The announcement cites the Department of the Interior policy basis for this approach as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C, which covers circumstances under which noncompetitive awards may be made. In practical terms, the posting serves transparency and documentation purposes rather than inviting new submissions.
The expected number of awards is one, and the identified recipient is Sky Island Alliance. While the eligible applicant category is listed broadly as nonprofits with IRS 501(c)(3) status (excluding institutions of higher education), the single-source nature of the action means that, despite the eligibility language, other organizations are not being invited to apply for this particular award. The total estimated funding amount is $55,213. No cost sharing or matching is required. The listing shows an award ceiling and award floor of $0, which is commonly seen in notices that are not structured as open competitions with defined minimums and maximums, even when an estimated total funding amount is provided.
Key dates associated with the posting include a posted date and creation date of May 8, 2015, and a closing date of May 17, 2015, with the record later archived on June 16, 2015. Because this is not an application-based competition, the closing date generally relates to the public notice period and internal processing timeline rather than a deadline for prospective applicants to submit proposals.
For further details, the NPS directs interested parties to the attached announcement referenced in the posting. If there are problems accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2303.
