Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service funding opportunity titled "Monitoring Landbirds in Northern Colorado Plateau Network Park units" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIR2118120006) is a discretionary funding action that will be issued as a cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources activity category. The purpose of the award is to support work associated with monitoring landbirds in National Park Service units that fall within the Northern Colorado Plateau Network, which is part of the NPS network-based approach to tracking the condition of key natural resources across multiple parks. The announcement indicates this will be implemented through a task agreement under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), a partnership structure commonly used by NPS to carry out research, technical assistance, and monitoring projects with established non-federal partners.
This posting is not a typical open competition and it is not a request for applications from the public. Instead, it is explicitly described as a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award, citing Department of the Interior policy at 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C as the justification for proceeding without competition. In practical terms, that means the National Park Service had already identified the intended recipient and was publishing the notice primarily to document the planned award and provide transparency, rather than to solicit proposals.
Only one award is expected, with an estimated total funding amount of $42,272, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0, which typically reflects that a fixed range was not established in the synopsis fields even though an estimated total is provided. The eligible applicant category is listed broadly as "Others" with clarification in the eligibility notes, but the eligibility statement makes the agency's intent clear: this is a single source award to the Rocky Mountain Bird Observatory. As a result, other organizations are not being invited to apply for or compete for this funding.
Key administrative details include the original and current closing date of June 13, 2012, with the opportunity posted and created on June 8, 2012, and later archived on July 13, 2012. The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to resources of the National Park System. For access issues related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392.
