Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service funding opportunity titled "National Park Service Science and Administrative Collaboration with the Sonoran Desert Network" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIJ2123110005) is a discretionary cooperative agreement intended to support natural resources-related work connected to the National Park Service Sonoran Desert Network. The award is being issued as a task agreement under the National Park Service Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), which is a partnership framework NPS uses to collaborate with specific organizations on research, technical assistance, and other mission-support activities in defined geographic and thematic areas.
This posting is a notice of intent rather than an open competition. It is explicitly described as a noncompetitive, single-source action in accordance with Department of the Interior policy (cited as DOI 505 DM 2.12C). In practical terms, that means the National Park Service is announcing its intention to make an award to a pre-identified recipient instead of soliciting proposals from the public. The announcement also makes clear that it is not a request for applications, so outside entities are not being invited to apply for the funding through this notice.
The intended recipient is the Sonoran Institute, listed as the sole eligible organization for this specific action. While the opportunity record includes a general eligible applicant category of "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," the eligibility clarification provided in the notice resolves this by stating the award is single-source to the Sonoran Institute. No cost sharing or matching funds are required for the recipient as part of this agreement.
In terms of funding details, the estimated total funding amount is $79,759, with an expected number of awards of one. The listing shows an award ceiling and award floor of $0, which commonly indicates that a fixed maximum/minimum was not published through the Grants.gov summary fields and that the actual project amount is instead described in the full announcement or internal agreement documents. The opportunity was posted and created on February 3, 2011, with an original and current closing date of February 7, 2011, and it was archived on March 9, 2011. The short window between posting and closing is consistent with notices of intent for noncompetitive awards, since the purpose is public transparency rather than collecting proposals.
For anyone needing access to the full announcement materials or experiencing difficulty retrieving the notice electronically, the listed point of contact is Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392.
