Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) funding opportunity titled "National Park Service Provide Technical Assistance to the Great Northern LCC, year 3" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP14AC00795) is a discretionary, noncompetitive cooperative agreement intended to support natural resource work through technical assistance to the Great Northern Landscape Conservation Cooperative (Great Northern LCC). The award is planned as a task agreement issued under the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), which is a partnership framework NPS uses to collaborate with universities and other partners on research, technical support, and related services that benefit public land and resource management.
This notice is specifically a Notice of Intent to make a single-source award, meaning it is not an open call for proposals and is not seeking applications from the general public or a broad pool of organizations. The announcement states that the award will be made noncompetitively in accordance with Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C), which provides the internal authority and justification process for making awards without competition in defined circumstances. In practical terms, the opportunity functions as an advance public posting that NPS plans to fund a particular recipient for a particular purpose rather than a competitive grant program.
The expected number of awards is one, and the identified recipient is Montana State University. The listing indicates there is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to provide a required financial match as a condition of receiving the federal funds. The total estimated funding amount is $27,500. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0, which is commonly used in postings like this when the agency is not establishing a competitive range and is instead documenting a predetermined single award amount through the task agreement process.
The opportunity is categorized under Natural Resources and is associated with CFDA number 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to Resources of the National Park System. This lines up with the CESU model, where the federal agency works with an academic partner to deliver research, synthesis, coordination, decision support, or other technical assistance that helps parks and surrounding landscapes address complex resource issues. The "year 3" label suggests this action continues work from earlier years, likely as part of a multi-year effort supporting the Great Northern LCC's science and management needs.
Key dates show the notice was posted and created on June 2, 2014, with an original and current closing date of June 6, 2014, and an archive date of July 6, 2014. Because it is not a request for applications, the closing date is best understood as the end of the public notice period rather than a deadline for proposal submission.
