Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Raptor Migration Tracking Project (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP13AC00109) is a discretionary funding action by the National Park Service focused on natural resources work connected to raptor migration tracking. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, meaning the work is intended to be carried out in partnership with the recipient, typically involving substantial involvement by the federal agency during the project. The opportunity is associated with CFDA 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, which generally covers research, technical assistance, and training efforts that support stewardship and management of national park resources.
This notice is not a competitive solicitation and is explicitly described as a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive award under the National Park Service Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The announcement cites Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C) as the basis for proceeding without competition. In practical terms, that means the agency has already identified the intended recipient and is publishing the notice primarily for transparency and record-keeping rather than to invite proposals from the public.
Only one award was expected, and the estimated total funding amount listed is $33,000. No cost sharing or matching is required. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as $0 in the source data, which is common in older postings or notices of intent where the agency provides the estimated funding amount but does not structure the notice as an open competition with defined minimum and maximum award ranges.
Eligibility is effectively restricted because this is a single-source action. The eligibility section clarifies that the announcement is not a request for applications and identifies the Rocky Mountain Bird Observatory as the intended recipient. As a result, other organizations should not expect to submit an application under this posting, even though the general eligible applicant category is labeled broadly as "Others" with further clarification provided in the eligibility text.
Key dates in the posting show it was posted and created on March 13, 2013, with an original and current closing date of March 18, 2013, and an archive date of April 17, 2013. Those dates reflect the short window typical of notices of intent, where the agency is not collecting proposals but is instead documenting the planned award. For administrative questions or trouble accessing the full announcement, the listed contact is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392.
