Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service opportunity titled "Completion of 2016 Monitoring of Landbird Populations in Northern Great Plains I" is a discretionary funding action that will be issued as a cooperative agreement. The purpose is to support work related to monitoring landbird populations in the Northern Great Plains, continuing or completing monitoring activities tied to a 2016 field season effort. The award is expected to be made through a task agreement under the National Park Service Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), which is a partnership framework the NPS uses to carry out research, technical assistance, and monitoring with selected cooperating institutions and organizations.
This posting is explicitly a notice of intent rather than an open call for proposals. It is described as a noncompetitive, single-source award being made in accordance with the Department of the Interior policy cited as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C. In practical terms, that means the agency has already identified the intended recipient and is not seeking applications from the general public. The funding announcement even states directly that it is not a request for applications and that the award will be made to a specific organization, the Rocky Mountain Bird Observatory, under the authority and procedures used for justified noncompetitive agreements.
From an administrative standpoint, the opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP14AC01064 and falls under the Natural Resources activity category. The CFDA listing associated with it is 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, which is commonly used for NPS-assisted research and resource management collaborations. The National Park Service anticipates making one award, and there is no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated for the recipient.
In terms of timing and funding level, the notice was posted on June 26, 2014, with an original and current closing date of June 30, 2014, and it was later archived on July 30, 2014. The estimated total funding amount is $35,000. The listing shows an award ceiling and floor of $0, which typically indicates that the system entry did not specify formal minimum/maximum award constraints even though an estimated total amount is provided.
For parties seeking more details, the notice indicates that additional information is contained in an attached announcement, and it provides a point of contact for access issues: Katie Gaertner, Procurement Technician, at 303-969-2909. Overall, the key takeaway is that this is a targeted NPS CESU task agreement intended to fund completion of landbird monitoring work in the Northern Great Plains, and it is not open for competitive submission because the recipient has been preselected as the Rocky Mountain Bird Observatory.
