Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service opportunity titled "National Park Service Preparing Natural Resource Condition Assessment" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP15AC00899) is a discretionary funding action intended to support natural resource work within the National Park System, specifically the preparation of a Natural Resource Condition Assessment. The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, meaning the National Park Service (NPS) expects to have substantial involvement in the work alongside the recipient rather than simply providing funds with minimal federal participation. The activity falls under the Natural Resources category and is associated with CFDA 15.945, which covers cooperative research and training programs connected to resources of the National Park System.
This posting is a notice of intent rather than an open call for proposals. It is explicitly not a request for applications and is being handled as a noncompetitive, single-source action. The announcement states that the award will be made through a task agreement under the NPS Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), a partnership mechanism commonly used to engage academic and research institutions on projects that support federal land and resource management needs. In this case, the intended recipient is Colorado State University, and the eligibility language reflects that only this single organization is being selected for the award.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the opportunity anticipated one award with an estimated total funding amount of $47,149. No cost sharing or matching funds are required. The notice was posted and created on June 8, 2015, with an original and current closing date of June 17, 2015, and it was archived on July 17, 2015. The listed award ceiling and floor are both shown as $0, which commonly appears in notices of intent or noncompetitive postings where the agency is not running a competitive process and may not be using the ceiling/floor fields in the same way as a standard competitive grant announcement.
The noncompetitive approach is justified in the announcement by reference to Department of the Interior policy, specifically 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C, which provides the basis for certain exceptions to competition when an award is appropriately limited to a single source. The NPS indicates that more detail is available in an attached announcement document, which would typically describe the project scope, the rationale for selecting the partner, anticipated deliverables, and how the CESU task agreement will be administered.
For questions or for help accessing the full announcement, the contact listed is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2303.
