Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Hydrological Restoration Project for a Portion of the Weippe Prairie Site (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP15AC01209) is a discretionary funding action by the National Park Service focused on natural resources work tied to the National Park System. The funding instrument identified is a cooperative agreement, and the activity falls under CFDA 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs and Resources of the National Park System. The project is set up as a single expected award with an estimated total funding amount of $48,881, and it does not require cost sharing or matching funds.
This notice is important because it is not an open competition and it is not a request for applications. Instead, it is a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award. The announcement states that the award will be made as a task agreement under the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), which is a partnership framework commonly used by DOI agencies to carry out research, technical assistance, and applied projects with partner institutions. The noncompetitive approach is explicitly justified under Department of the Interior policy cited as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C, indicating the agency is using an authorized exception to competition for this particular action.
Eligibility is therefore effectively limited: while the general eligibility field references "Others" and points readers to additional eligibility details, the opportunity text clarifies that the intended recipient is Colorado State University. In practical terms, this means no other applicants are being solicited or considered, even though the opportunity was posted publicly. The posting functions mainly as formal public notice that the agency plans to fund a specific partner through the CESU mechanism.
The timeline reflects that administrative purpose as well. The opportunity was posted and created on July 9, 2015, with an original and current closing date of July 18, 2015, and it was later archived on August 17, 2015. Because this was not a solicitation, the short open period is best understood as a notice window rather than an application deadline for the general public.
Anyone needing the full text but having trouble accessing it electronically was directed to contact the listed grants management specialist, Kelly Adams, at 303-969-2303.
