Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Landscape Assessment funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIPP12AC10854) was a discretionary National Park Service (NPS) award announced on July 22, 2013 under CFDA 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to resources of the National Park System. The award was issued as a cooperative agreement within the Natural Resources funding activity category, with an estimated total funding amount of $99,043. The posting indicated an anticipated single award (Expected Awards: 1), and it did not require cost sharing or matching funds.
This announcement functioned as a notice of intent rather than an open, competitive solicitation. In practical terms, it was not a request for applications from the general public or from a broad pool of eligible entities. Instead, the NPS stated that the action would result in a task agreement award under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The CESU framework is commonly used by Interior agencies to partner with research institutions on applied science, technical assistance, and training that supports management needs. The notice also specified that the award would be made on a noncompetitive basis in accordance with Department of the Interior policy (cited as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C), which is the internal authority agencies reference when they justify and document single-source or otherwise noncompetitive financial assistance actions.
Eligibility was therefore narrowly defined. Although the standard eligibility field references "Others" and suggests looking to additional eligibility text, the announcement explicitly clarified that this was a single-source award to Northern Arizona University. That means the opportunity was essentially informational for transparency and recordkeeping, signaling the government intent to fund a particular partner for the landscape assessment work rather than inviting proposals from additional applicants.
Key administrative dates show how limited the application window was for outside parties, further reinforcing that it was not meant to be competed. The original and current closing dates were both July 27, 2013 (five days after posting), and the opportunity was archived on August 26, 2013. The notice listed no award ceiling and no award floor (both shown as 0), which is sometimes how systems display records where the funding amount is managed through the agreement and tasking process rather than through a typical competitive range structure.
