Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service funding opportunity titled "Petrified Forest National Park Areas Herpetofauna and Mammal Surveys" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIR8430110803) is a discretionary grant action being handled as a cooperative agreement under the Natural Resources activity category. The work is intended to support field surveys focused on herpetofauna (reptiles and amphibians) and mammals in areas associated with Petrified Forest National Park, with the overall purpose of improving biological inventory or monitoring information that the park can use for resource management and conservation planning.
This announcement is explicitly a notice of intent rather than a public call for proposals. It is being issued under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) framework, and it is described as a noncompetitive, single-source action conducted in accordance with the Department of the Interior's 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C authority. In practical terms, that means the agency is not seeking competing applications from the broader public. Instead, the National Park Service is indicating its intent to make one award via a task agreement under the CESU mechanism.
The opportunity anticipates a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $40,000. No cost sharing or matching funds are required. The listed award ceiling and award floor are both shown as $0, which typically indicates that the formal funding limits are not expressed in the standard ceiling/floor fields for this posting, even though the agency provides an estimated total amount for the planned agreement.
Eligibility is not open in the usual sense. The announcement states that it is not a request for applications and identifies Northern Arizona University as the intended recipient for this single-source award. The "Eligible Applicants" field is broadly labeled as "Others (see text field...)," but the eligibility clarification makes clear that this specific posting is meant to support a direct award to that institution rather than to solicit applicants.
The posting dates show it was published on May 18, 2011, with an original and current closing date of May 22, 2011, and it was archived on June 21, 2011. The short window aligns with the fact that it is a notice of intent for a noncompetitive agreement rather than a competitive funding round. The CFDA number is listed as 00.000 "Not Elsewhere Classified," which is sometimes used for programs or actions that do not fit a standard CFDA listing.
For anyone needing access to the full announcement materials, the listed point of contact is Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392, particularly for issues accessing the announcement electronically.
