Opportunity Summary:

The grant opportunity titled "National Park Service - Monitoring Landbirds in Northern Colorado Plateau Network Park Units and Yellow Billed Cuckoos at Dinosaur National Monument" is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action focused on natural resource monitoring, specifically bird monitoring in National Park Service units within the Northern Colorado Plateau Network and targeted monitoring of Yellow-billed Cuckoos at Dinosaur National Monument. The funding is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the recipient would typically work in close coordination with NPS staff and the project would be carried out as a collaborative effort rather than as a simple vendor-style contract.

This announcement is not an open competition and it is not asking the public to submit applications. Instead, it is a notice of intent to make a single, noncompetitive award under the Department of the Interior policy referenced as DOI 505 DM 2.12C. In practice, that language signals the agency is documenting its justification for awarding to one organization without soliciting multiple proposals. The announcement also indicates the award will be issued as a task agreement under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), a partnership framework NPS uses to work with eligible research and conservation organizations on projects tied to resource stewardship, science, and technical assistance.

The total estimated funding amount listed for the project is $41,507, with an expected number of awards of one. No cost sharing or matching funds are required from the recipient. The opportunity was posted on July 2, 2010, with an original and current closing date of July 6, 2010, and an archive date of August 5, 2010, reflecting that this was essentially an administrative posting window rather than a typical application period for competing applicants.

Eligibility is effectively limited by the single-source nature of the award. The notice explicitly states that this is a single source award to the Rocky Mountain Bird Observatory, which is identified as the intended recipient. The listing includes an "Eligible Applicants" category of "Others (see text field...)," but the accompanying eligibility statement clarifies that no applications are being requested because the recipient has already been selected.

For parties seeking additional details beyond what is shown in the notice, the announcement directs users to an attached full announcement (not included in the excerpt provided). If there are issues accessing the full materials, the point of contact is Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, at (303) 969-2392.
