Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service funding opportunity titled "Protect Historic Structures, Visitor Experience, Health by Developing Ringtail Relocation Strategy" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIJ1242100027) is a discretionary, natural-resources focused cooperative agreement intended to support work that helps the agency address issues caused by ringtails in and around park facilities. The core purpose is to develop a relocation strategy for ringtails that protects historic structures, reduces conflicts that can affect visitors, and addresses potential health and sanitation concerns that may arise when wildlife occupy or damage buildings and other cultural resources. In practical terms, the project is aimed at producing an actionable approach the park can use to manage ringtail presence in a way that balances resource protection, visitor experience, and public health considerations.
This notice is not a typical competitive grant solicitation. It is a Notice of Intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) framework. The announcement explicitly states that it is being issued under Department of the Interior policy (DOI 505 DM 2.12C) governing certain noncompetitive awards. Because of that structure, it is not inviting proposals from the general public or from multiple institutions; instead, it signals that the National Park Service plans to issue a specific task agreement through the CESU mechanism.
Eligibility is effectively limited by design. While the listing shows "Others" under eligible applicants, the eligibility information clarifies that this is not a request for applications and that the award is intended as a single-source action to Utah State University. That means other entities are not being solicited to apply, and there is no open competition associated with the posting. The CESU model commonly supports cooperative, research-oriented, and technical assistance projects with partner institutions, and this opportunity fits that pattern by pairing an NPS management need with a designated university partner to develop a strategy that can be applied on the ground.
In terms of funding and award structure, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $89,000 with an expected number of awards of one. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement indicated. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as zero, which is often a placeholder convention in archived postings rather than a statement that no funding is available; the estimated total funding figure is the meaningful value here. The assistance listing shows CFDA number 00.000 (Not Elsewhere Classified), reflecting that it is being posted in a way that does not map neatly onto a single, named CFDA program.
Key dates indicate how administrative and targeted the action is: it was posted on September 17, 2010, with an original and current closing date of September 21, 2010, and an archive date of October 21, 2010. A very short open window like this is typical for notices of intent or noncompetitive announcements, where the posting serves transparency and documentation purposes rather than providing time for outside applicants to develop and submit proposals.
For parties needing access to the full announcement or having trouble retrieving it electronically, the listed point of contact is Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, at 303-969-2392.
