Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Natural Resource Condition Assessment opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP15AC00833MOD1) is a discretionary funding notice issued by the U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (DOI-NPS). It is set up as a cooperative agreement and falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category, with CFDA number 15.945. The posting and creation dates are both March 21, 2016, and the closing date is March 30, 2016.
What makes this announcement different from a typical open competition is that it is explicitly a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive award. The award will be made through a task agreement under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). In practical terms, that means the work is expected to be carried out within the CESU framework, which is commonly used by DOI and partner institutions to support research, technical assistance, and applied science projects tied to public land and resource management needs. The announcement cites the Department of the Interior's authority for noncompetitive awards under 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C, signaling that the agency is proceeding under an internal policy exception that allows an award without full and open competition under specific circumstances.
Only one award is expected, and no award ceiling is listed (shown as 0), which usually indicates the public listing does not specify a maximum dollar amount in the summary fields and that the actual project funding level is described in the full announcement materials or negotiated in the task agreement. Eligibility is described broadly as "Others," with further clarification referenced in an additional eligibility section in the full text, meaning the intended recipient is likely a particular CESU member organization or otherwise pre-identified partner that fits within the CESU and DOI policy requirements for this type of agreement.
Substantively, the opportunity title indicates the project focus: a Natural Resource Condition Assessment. In the National Park Service context, condition assessments are typically used to compile, analyze, and communicate the status and trends of key natural resources, often drawing on existing monitoring data, scientific literature, and management knowledge to inform planning and decision-making. The short notice itself does not provide technical details about scope, deliverables, or performance period, and it directs interested parties to the attached announcement for those specifics.
