Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Create Old Faithful Mobile App opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP14AC00175) is a National Park Service notice of intent to make a single, noncompetitive cooperative agreement award to support the creation of a mobile application focused on Old Faithful. It was issued under the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), meaning the work would be carried out through a CESU task agreement structure that is commonly used for cooperative research, technical assistance, and education or interpretation-related projects connected to park resources. The funding activity category is listed as Natural Resources, and the opportunity is associated with CFDA 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System.
This announcement is not a standard open call for proposals. Instead, it explicitly states it is not a request for applications and serves primarily as public notice that the agency intends to proceed with a noncompetitive, single-source award. The eligible applicant information confirms this by specifying that the award is intended for Washington State University, with eligibility otherwise shown as "Others" and clarified in the text that only the identified single source is expected to receive the award. The notice cites the Department of the Interior 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C as the policy basis for using a noncompetitive approach, indicating the agency has determined that a sole-source or otherwise noncompetitive award is appropriate under DOI rules.
In terms of funding, the estimated total funding amount is $41,125, with one expected award. The posting date and creation date are both March 7, 2014, and the closing date is March 12, 2014, with an archive date of April 11, 2014. The short open period is consistent with a notice-of-intent style posting rather than a competitive grant cycle, since the agency is not seeking submissions from the broader public. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated. The award ceiling and award floor are listed as $0, which often appears in federal postings when the agency is not using the ceiling/floor fields in a typical competitive format, even though an estimated total funding amount is provided.
The core purpose, as described, is to result in a task agreement award under the Rocky Mountain CESU for developing the Old Faithful mobile app. While the posting references an attached announcement for more details, the published synopsis emphasizes the administrative nature of the opportunity: it announces the NPS intent to proceed with a noncompetitive cooperative agreement award, identifies the intended recipient, and provides basic award context, timing, and contact information. For questions or difficulty accessing the full announcement, the listed contact is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392.
