Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "National Park Service Geographic Resources Program Technical Support" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS J1242110302) is a discretionary funding action from the National Park Service (NPS) intended to support natural resource-related technical work through the NPS Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, meaning the NPS anticipates having substantial involvement in the work as it is carried out, rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal participation. The opportunity was posted and created on February 22, 2011, had an original and final closing date of February 26, 2011, and was archived on March 28, 2011.
This notice is not a typical open competition and is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it is a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award in accordance with Department of the Interior policy (DOI 505 DM 2.12C). The announcement states that the planned recipient is the University of Colorado at Denver, which is the only eligible awardee for this action as described. While the general eligibility field lists "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," the eligibility narrative makes clear that this is a directed award to a specific institution rather than an opportunity for multiple applicants to submit proposals.
Financially, the announcement lists an estimated total funding amount of $45,274, with an expected number of awards of one. Both the award ceiling and award floor are shown as $0, which typically indicates that the formal ceiling/floor fields were not used to define limits in the synopsis even though an estimated total amount is provided. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not be required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award.
The purpose statement provided in the synopsis is brief, but it indicates the work will be performed under a task agreement mechanism within the Rocky Mountain CESU framework, focused on providing technical support to the NPS Geographic Resources Program. In practice, CESU task agreements often cover applied research, data development, technical assistance, and other support services that help federal land management agencies meet mission needs, especially in areas like mapping, geospatial analysis, inventorying resources, and related geographic or natural resource technical functions. The synopsis directs readers to an attached announcement for more detail, implying that the scope, deliverables, and period of performance would be fully specified in that attachment rather than in the brief public notice.
For further information or help accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392.
