Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service funding opportunity titled "Exotic Snail Inventory and Macroinvertebrate Identification at Yellowstone" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIJ1580100209) is a discretionary, natural-resources-focused cooperative agreement intended to support field sampling and scientific analysis related to non-native snails and other aquatic macroinvertebrates in Yellowstone National Park. The project centers on building a clearer picture of the presence, distribution, and status of the red rim melania (an exotic gastropod) and other gastropod populations within the park, with the results compiled into an analysis and summary that can inform park resource management.
This notice is not an open competition and is not requesting applications from the public. Instead, it is explicitly a notice of intent to make a single-source, noncompetitive award to Montana State University under the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The announcement cites the Department of the Interior policy basis for a noncompetitive action (DOI 505 DM 2.12C) and indicates the award will be implemented through a task agreement under the CESU framework, which is commonly used to facilitate collaboration between federal land management agencies and partner universities on research, monitoring, and technical assistance.
The anticipated work to be performed by Montana State University includes sampling and inventory efforts in Yellowstone to detect and document red rim melania and other gastropods, along with related macroinvertebrate identification. The university partner is expected to work directly with the National Park Service to collect source data from the field, identify and verify organisms, and then analyze and summarize findings in deliverables that support understanding of exotic species occurrence and potential ecological implications. While the announcement does not spell out methods or specific sites, the phrasing signals a combination of field inventory and laboratory or taxonomic identification, followed by reporting that synthesizes results for management use.
Administratively, the opportunity lists an expected single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $55,100. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The award ceiling and floor are listed as zero, which typically indicates that specific award amounts are handled through the accompanying agreement documentation rather than set ranges in the public notice. The posting date is May 14, 2010, with an original and current closing date of May 18, 2010, and an archive date of June 17, 2010, reflecting that the public notice period was short and tied to the internal processing of a pre-identified recipient rather than an application window.
Eligibility is effectively restricted to the named recipient. Although the eligibility field references "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," the announcement clarifies that this is a single-source award to Montana State University and that it is not a request for applications, meaning other institutions are not being solicited to apply. For questions or issues accessing the full announcement, the listed contact is Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392.
