Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) funding opportunity titled "National Park Service Content Development for Science Learning Centers of the Intermountain Region" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIJ1580100510) is a discretionary grant notice that supports natural resource-related educational content development for NPS Science Learning Centers in the Intermountain Region. The planned award is structured as a cooperative agreement, which typically means the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the work as it is carried out, such as collaborating on scope, deliverables, review, and coordination.
This announcement is not an open competition and is not a request for applications. It is a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award to Utah State University under the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The noncompetitive approach is explicitly justified under Department of the Interior policy referenced as DOI 505 DM 2.12C, which is the internal authority used for certain sole-source or otherwise noncompetitive financial assistance actions. In practice, that means other organizations are not being solicited to apply, even though the listing includes a general "eligible applicants" category and a CFDA placeholder (00.000, "Not Elsewhere Classified").
The estimated total funding for the action is $74,897. The posting date and creation date are August 31, 2010, with an original and current closing date of September 4, 2010, and an archive date of October 4, 2010. No cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated. The "expected awards" field shows 0, which aligns with the fact that this is a notice of intent for a single-source task agreement rather than a competitive process that would generate multiple awards, and the award ceiling and floor are listed as 0, which is common in notices that are not structured as an open solicitation with defined minimums and maximums.
Administrative and access questions about the full announcement are directed to Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, at (303) 969-2392, with the note that she can assist if there are difficulties accessing the announcement electronically.
