Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Glen Canyon Vegetation Mapping Project, 2015 (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP15AC00628) was a National Park Service discretionary funding action focused on natural resources work, specifically vegetation mapping for the Glen Canyon area. The funding instrument was a cooperative agreement, meaning the project was intended to be carried out with substantial involvement from the National Park Service in coordination with the recipient. The opportunity was listed under CFDA 15.945, which covers cooperative research and training programs related to resources of the National Park System.
This posting was not a traditional, open competition for proposals. Instead, it was issued as a notice of intent for a single-source, noncompetitive award under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The notice cited Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C) as the basis for proceeding without competition. In practical terms, that means the agency had already identified the intended recipient and was using the announcement primarily to document and publicize the intent to make that award, rather than to solicit applications from the public.
The eligible applicant category was effectively limited by the single-source designation, with Northern Arizona University identified as the intended recipient. The announcement explicitly stated that it was not a request for applications, reinforcing that other organizations were not being invited to apply. The project anticipated one award in total, and there was no cost sharing or matching requirement.
Key dates and funding details were straightforward. The opportunity was posted and created on May 7, 2015, with an original and current closing date of May 16, 2015, and it was archived on June 15, 2015. The estimated total funding amount was $70,255. The listing showed no specific award ceiling or floor (both recorded as $0), which is commonly seen in notices that function more as administrative disclosures than as competitive solicitations with variable award sizes.
For administrative questions or help accessing the full announcement, the listed contact was Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2303.
