Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service funding opportunity titled "Development of Online Launch Calendar, Phase 1" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP15AC00834) describes an intended, noncompetitive cooperative agreement award to support a specific project under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). Rather than being an open call for proposals, this posting functions as a formal notice of intent to make a single-source award, meaning the agency has already identified the recipient and is not soliciting applications from the broader public. The noncompetitive approach is explicitly justified under Department of the Interior policy, cited as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C.
The project is categorized as a discretionary funding action using a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument. Cooperative agreements are typically used when the federal agency expects to be substantially involved in the project during performance, which often includes collaboration on technical direction, coordination, review of deliverables, or shared responsibilities between the recipient institution and the agency. The activity category is listed under Natural Resources, and the CFDA listing includes 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs and Resources of the National Park System, signaling that the work is aligned with research, development, or technical support activities that benefit National Park System resources.
Funding details indicate an estimated total amount of $25,525 for Phase 1, with an expected number of awards listed as one. Both the award ceiling and floor are shown as zero, which is common in notices that are not structured as competitive announcements and where the specific funding amount is addressed through the task agreement mechanism rather than through a range-based competitive solicitation. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award.
Eligibility is effectively restricted because the announcement states it is not a request for applications and is intended as a single-source award to Northern Arizona University. Although the general eligibility field references "Others" with additional clarification, the eligibility information makes clear that the only contemplated recipient for this action is Northern Arizona University, consistent with the CESU framework and the noncompetitive justification.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on June 1, 2015, with an original and current closing date of June 10, 2015, and an archive date of July 10, 2015. In the context of a notice of intent, the closing date functions less like a proposal deadline and more like an administrative window for public posting and recordkeeping, since the agency is not accepting competing applications.
