Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Geographic Resource Division GIS Project Support opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP13AC00550) is a National Park Service (NPS) notice of intent to make a single, noncompetitive cooperative agreement award under the Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The purpose is to support GIS-related project work tied to natural resource needs and the management of National Park System resources, with the work structured as a task agreement under the CESU framework. The announcement explicitly notes that it is being issued as a noncompetitive action in accordance with Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C), meaning the NPS is documenting its intent to fund a specific partner rather than opening a broader competition.
This is categorized as a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement instrument, which typically indicates substantial involvement by the federal agency in the supported work (for example, coordination on deliverables, methods, data standards, or project direction), as opposed to a standard grant where involvement is usually more limited. The activity category is Natural Resources, and the associated CFDA listing is 15.945, described as Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to Resources of the National Park System. The estimated total funding amount for this action is $112,382. No cost share or matching funds are required. The listing shows no stated award ceiling or floor (both listed as 0), which generally reflects that the award amount is handled directly through the planned task agreement rather than through a competitive range.
A key point of this announcement is that it is not a request for applications. Eligibility is effectively restricted because the award is intended as a single-source action to Colorado State University, and the notice functions mainly as public documentation of that intent rather than an invitation for other applicants. The opportunity was posted on June 10, 2013, with an original and current closing date of June 14, 2013, and it was archived on July 14, 2013. Anyone needing help accessing the full announcement was directed to contact Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, at 303-969-2392.
