Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "National Park Service Propagate Native Trees and Shrubs to Restore Visitor Use Areas Impacted by Bark Beetle Infestation," is a discretionary funding action by the National Park Service (NPS) focused on natural resources work. The project centers on propagating native trees and shrubs to help restore visitor-use areas that have been damaged or altered due to bark beetle infestation, which often leads to widespread tree mortality and secondary impacts like loss of shade, erosion risk, changed aesthetics, and diminished visitor experience in heavily used locations.
The funding vehicle for this effort is a cooperative agreement issued through the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), and the announcement is explicitly a notice of intent for a noncompetitive, single-source award. In practical terms, that means the NPS is not soliciting proposals from the public or opening a competitive application process. Instead, the agency is signaling its intent to make one award under an existing partnership framework (the CESU), using a task agreement mechanism to define the specific work to be performed.
Eligibility is therefore limited by design. While the listing broadly shows "Others" as the category of eligible applicants, the opportunity makes clear that it is not a request for applications and that the award is intended as a single-source action to Colorado State University. As a result, other organizations should not expect to apply or be considered, because the recipient has already been identified and the award is being issued noncompetitively.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $39,659, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as $0, which commonly indicates that the specific ceiling/floor fields were not used for this posting or that the primary funding amount is communicated through the estimated total funding figure and the attached announcement. Only one award was expected.
From an administrative timeline standpoint, the opportunity was posted and created on June 7, 2010, with an original and current closing date of June 11, 2010, and an archive date of July 11, 2010. The short window aligns with the fact that this is a notice of intent rather than an open competition, so the key purpose is public notice and documentation of the intended noncompetitive action rather than giving potential applicants time to develop proposals.
The listing provides a funding opportunity number of NPS NOIJ1526105205 and classifies the CFDA number as 00.000 (Not Elsewhere Classified), which is sometimes used when an assistance listing does not map neatly to a single standard CFDA program entry in the data at the time of posting. For additional details beyond the summary, the announcement instructs interested parties to consult the attached materials, and it provides a point of contact for access issues: Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, at 303-969-2392.
