Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) funding opportunity titled "National Park Service Develop an Aquatic Nuisance and Invasive Species Field Guide for the Crown of the Continent - Glacier National Park" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIJ1242100024) is a discretionary natural-resources effort intended to support development of a field guide focused on aquatic nuisance species and other invasive species issues relevant to the Crown of the Continent region, including Glacier National Park. The notice indicates the work will be carried out through a cooperative agreement, with the product expected to be a practical, field-oriented guide that can be used to identify, understand, and potentially help manage or prevent the spread of invasive aquatic organisms within this high-value ecosystem.
This announcement is not a competitive solicitation and is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it is a notice of intent to make a single-source, noncompetitive award to the University of Montana under the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The noncompetitive approach is cited as being consistent with Department of the Interior policy at DOI 505 DM 2.12C, which provides an administrative basis for awarding without full competition in certain circumstances. Because it is a CESU task agreement action, it is framed as a targeted partnership mechanism typically used by NPS to obtain research, technical assistance, and deliverables aligned with park and regional resource-management needs.
The opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $50,000, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. It shows "Expected Awards: 0," which is consistent with a notice-of-intent record that is documenting an intended single award rather than inviting proposals from multiple applicants. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0 in the system data, a common artifact in older federal postings where exact award parameters may be specified in attachments or internal agreement documentation rather than the standardized fields. The CFDA number is shown as 00.000 ("Not Elsewhere Classified"), signaling that the work is being posted under a general classification rather than a program-specific assistance listing.
Key dates in the public posting are: Posted/Creation Date of September 14, 2010; an original and current closing date of September 19, 2010; and an archive date of October 19, 2010. The short window between posting and closing reinforces that the posting is primarily informational and administrative rather than a true open competition. Eligibility in the listing is broadly labeled "Others (see text field...)," but the narrative eligibility statement clarifies that the intended recipient is the University of Montana and that outside parties should not interpret the notice as an invitation to apply.
For parties who could not access the full announcement electronically, the contact listed is Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, at 303-969-2392. Overall, the notice functions mainly as a formal public record that NPS intends to fund a specific partner through the Rocky Mountain CESU to produce an aquatic nuisance and invasive species field guide supporting Glacier National Park and the broader Crown of the Continent area.
