Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Redwood National Park Archives Project (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIR8485110016) is a discretionary funding action that the National Park Service planned to carry out through a cooperative agreement under the Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). Rather than being a typical open, competitive grant solicitation, this posting functions as a formal notice of intent to make a noncompetitive (single-source) award, consistent with the Department of the Interior policy cited as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C. In practical terms, it signals that the agency already identified the intended partner and is documenting the rationale and process for proceeding without competition.
The opportunity was categorized under Natural Resources and tied to CFDA 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to Resources of the National Park System. The total estimated funding amount listed for the project is $66,326, with one expected award. No cost sharing or matching requirement was indicated. The award ceiling and floor were both listed as $0, which commonly appears in older listings when the specific award amount is provided elsewhere (here, the estimated total funding figure) or when the listing is primarily administrative and not designed to solicit proposals.
Eligibility is explicitly limited because this announcement is not a request for applications. The notice states it is a single-source award to the University of Colorado Boulder, meaning other institutions and individuals were not being invited to apply. The short posting window (posted June 18, 2011, with a closing date of June 22, 2011) also reflects that this was a notice and documentation step rather than a competitive application period. The archive date is July 22, 2011, indicating when the listing was set to be removed from active display.
For additional details beyond the brief synopsis, the National Park Service directed readers to the attached announcement referenced in the posting. The listed point of contact for access issues was Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392.
