Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service funding opportunity titled "National Park Service Preparation of Natural Resource Condition Assessment Reports for Five Intermountain Region Parks" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP13AC00651) is a discretionary federal grant action focused on natural resources work within the National Park System. The project is intended to support the preparation of Natural Resource Condition Assessment (NRCA) reports for five parks in the NPS Intermountain Region. NRCAs are typically used by the Park Service to compile and evaluate available science and monitoring information about the condition of key natural resources in a park, identify important resource indicators and stressors, and present findings in a structured report format that can inform park planning, prioritization, and long-term resource stewardship.
This announcement is not a competitive solicitation and is not asking the public to submit applications. Instead, it is a formal notice of intent to make a single-source, noncompetitive award. The National Park Service states that the award will be made as a task agreement under the Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), which is a cooperative partnership mechanism used to support research, technical assistance, and training related to ecosystem management and public trust resources. The noncompetitive approach is explicitly justified as being consistent with Department of the Interior policy cited as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C, which covers circumstances where a noncompetitive award is appropriate.
The funding instrument type is a Cooperative Agreement, which generally indicates that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project during performance (as opposed to a standard grant where federal involvement is more limited). The opportunity falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 15.945, "Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System," a program area that supports research and technical efforts benefiting national park resources. The estimated total funding amount is $61,065, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. The listing shows an expected number of awards of one, reinforcing that it is designed as a single recipient action rather than a multi-award competition. While the general eligibility line references "Others (see text field...)," the eligibility information clearly states that this is a single-source award to Utah State University.
Key dates included in the notice show it was posted and created on June 20, 2013, with an original and current closing date of June 25, 2013, and an archive date of July 25, 2013. These short timeframes are consistent with notices of intent or administrative postings for noncompetitive awards, where the purpose is typically transparency and public notice rather than gathering proposals. The award ceiling and floor are listed as $0, which commonly appears in postings where the agency provides an estimated total funding figure but does not set formal minimum or maximum request levels because it is not accepting competing applications.
