Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service grant opportunity titled "Dune and Hearth Mound Survey for White Sands National Monument, Year Two" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIJ7810100037) describes an intended cooperative agreement action focused on natural resources work at White Sands National Monument. The project is framed as the second year of an ongoing effort, with the core purpose implied by the title: continuing survey work related to dune environments and "hearth mound" features within the monument. While the public notice itself does not provide detailed technical methods or deliverables in the text provided, it clearly signals a continuation of prior survey activities supporting NPS resource understanding and management.
This notice is not a typical competitive grant solicitation. It is explicitly a Notice of Intent for a noncompetitive, single-source award issued under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The announcement cites DOI 505 DM 2.12C as the authority for making a noncompetitive award, which is generally used to justify awards where a specific partner is uniquely qualified or where the work is structured within an existing cooperative framework such as a CESU. The Eligible Applicants field points to "Others," but the eligibility statement clarifies that this is not a request for applications and that the award is intended for a single recipient.
The intended recipient is the University of New Mexico, identified as the sole source partner for this action. The funding instrument type is a Cooperative Agreement, meaning the NPS expects substantial federal involvement during the project as compared to a standard grant, which often implies closer collaboration, coordination, or shared responsibilities between the agency and the recipient. The funding activity category is Natural Resources, aligning the work with ecological, geological, cultural, or related field survey and resource documentation functions typical of park management needs.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $45,406. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0, which commonly appears in notices that are not open competitions and where the agency is simply documenting an intended action rather than inviting proposals with variable budgets.
In terms of timing and administrative status, the opportunity was posted and created on July 22, 2010, with an original and current closing date of July 27, 2010, and an archive date of August 26, 2010. Because this is a notice of intent rather than a call for applications, the "closing date" functions more as an administrative marker for the public notice period than a deadline for submitting proposals.
For further information or to request access assistance for the full announcement materials, the listed point of contact is Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392.
