Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Geographic Resources Division GIS Project Support opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP14AC00626) is a discretionary funding action issued by the National Park Service to support GIS-related work tied to natural resource and National Park System needs. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, meaning the NPS anticipates active involvement and collaboration with the recipient during project execution rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The opportunity sits under CFDA 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs focused on resources of the National Park System, and it is structured as a single expected award.
This notice is not an open call for proposals and is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it is a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award to Colorado State University through the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The announcement cites Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C) as the basis for using a noncompetitive approach. In practical terms, that means the agency had already identified the intended recipient and was publicly documenting the planned award rather than soliciting competing applications.
The estimated total funding listed for the action is $153,337, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. The listing shows an award ceiling and floor of $0, which commonly indicates that the announcement itself is informational for a planned agreement rather than a competitive posting with variable award ranges. Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on May 15, 2014, with an original and current closing date of May 20, 2014, and it was archived on June 19, 2014. Because it is a single-source notice, the short window functions more as an administrative posting period than a true application deadline for the public.
Eligibility is effectively limited to the identified recipient; the eligible applicant category is listed as "Others" with clarification in the text stating this is a single source award to Colorado State University. Anyone attempting to apply would not be considered, since the government is not requesting applications and has already determined the partner organization under the CESU mechanism.
