Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service grant opportunity titled "Developing a Monitoring Protocol for Visitor Experience and Recreation Demand at Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area, Phase 2" is a discretionary funding action that the agency planned to issue as a cooperative agreement under the Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The work focuses on natural resource-related management needs, specifically building out or continuing a structured approach for monitoring visitor experience and recreation demand at Lake Roosevelt National Recreation Area. As a "Phase 2" effort, it implies a continuation or expansion of earlier work, likely moving from initial design or scoping into refinement, testing, or implementation of a repeatable monitoring protocol that park staff can use to track visitor use patterns and the quality of visitor experiences over time.
This notice is not a competitive solicitation. It is explicitly described as a notice of intent for a noncompetitive (single-source) task agreement award, citing DOI policy (505 DM 2.12C) as the authority for proceeding without competition. The announcement states that it is not a request for applications and that the award is intended for a specific recipient: the University of Idaho. As a result, other organizations were not being invited to apply, even though the general eligibility field is listed broadly as "Others" with clarification provided in the additional eligibility information.
From a funding standpoint, the opportunity listed an estimated total funding amount of $68,011, with no stated award ceiling or floor (both shown as $0, which typically indicates that the exact structure is defined in the attached announcement or that the database fields were not used for those limits). The listing indicates that one award was expected. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient would not be required to provide a non-federal match as a condition of receiving the funds.
The key dates show the notice was posted on December 10, 2010, with an original and current closing date of December 14, 2010, and an archive date of January 13, 2011. That short window is consistent with a notice-of-intent posting for a predetermined recipient rather than a typical open competition. The opportunity is identified in the system under Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIJ9260110016, and the CFDA number is listed as 00.000 "Not Elsewhere Classified," a placeholder sometimes used when a program does not map cleanly to a standard CFDA listing in the posted record.
Administratively, the National Park Service is the sponsoring agency, and the cooperative agreement instrument suggests the project likely involved substantial involvement or collaboration with NPS staff, which is common when developing park-specific monitoring methods meant to integrate with ongoing management operations. For assistance accessing the full announcement, the notice provided a point of contact: Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, at 303-969-2392.
