Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "National Park Service Restoration Design and Plans" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP14AC00189) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action that will be carried out through a cooperative agreement focused on natural resources work. Rather than being a broad, open competition, this notice functions as a formal announcement that the NPS intends to make a single, noncompetitive award. The work is being issued as a task agreement under the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), which is a partnership framework NPS uses to collaborate with specific academic and research institutions on projects that support park resource management, applied science, planning, and related technical assistance.
This announcement is explicitly not a request for applications, meaning outside organizations are not being invited to submit proposals in response to the posting. The notice identifies Colorado State University as the sole intended recipient, which is why the eligibility field is limited and the "Eligible Applicants" category is listed broadly as "Others" with clarification in the eligibility information. The noncompetitive nature of the action is justified under Department of the Interior policy, specifically cited as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C, which provides internal authority and conditions for making single-source awards when appropriate. In practical terms, this means the agency has already selected the partner institution and is using this public notice primarily to document the intent to award and provide transparency.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $76,917, with an expected number of awards equal to one. No cost sharing or matching funds are required. The listing shows an award ceiling and floor of $0, which commonly appears in notices where the precise award parameters are handled through the associated task agreement documentation rather than being presented as a competitive range. The program is associated with CFDA number 15.945, described as Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, which aligns with CESU-style agreements that emphasize cooperative research, technical planning support, and training or capacity-building activities benefiting NPS units.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted and created on March 11, 2014, with an original and current closing date of March 16, 2014, and an archive date of April 15, 2014. Because this is a notice of intent for a single-source award, the short window should not be read as a competitive application period. Instead, it typically reflects the administrative posting period for the public notice prior to finalizing the agreement. Anyone needing access to the full announcement or experiencing difficulty retrieving it electronically is directed to contact the listed NPS grants management specialist, Kelly Adams, at 303-969-2303.
