Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) funding opportunity titled "National Park Service Science and Administrative Collaboration with the Sonoran Desert Network" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIR2123120016) is a discretionary grant action focused on natural resources work connected to the National Park System. It was posted and created on June 11, 2012, with an original and final closing date of June 18, 2012, and it was later archived on July 18, 2012. The announcement anticipates a single award and lists an estimated total funding amount of $26,157. The CFDA program reference provided is 15.945, which relates to Cooperative Research and Training Programs associated with the resources of the National Park System. No cost sharing or matching is required under this opportunity.
This notice is not a competitive solicitation and is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as a "notice of intent" to make a noncompetitive, single-source award to a specific organization: the Sonoran Institute. The NPS indicates the award will be made through a task agreement under the National Park Service Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). CESUs are partnership frameworks that allow federal agencies and partner institutions to collaborate on research, technical assistance, education, and similar public-purpose projects; in this case, the emphasis is on science and administrative collaboration supporting the Sonoran Desert Network.
The announcement also cites the Department of the Interior policy basis for a noncompetitive award, referencing 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C. In practical terms, that citation is the agency's justification for using a single-source approach rather than opening the work to competition, typically because the selected organization is considered uniquely qualified, already positioned within an established cooperative framework, or otherwise best suited to carry out the specific scope of work.
Administrative details in the public listing include an award ceiling and floor shown as $0, which is common in older notices where the system entry does not use ceiling/floor fields to describe the planned amount and instead relies on the estimated total funding figure. Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others" with clarification in an additional eligibility field, but the key eligibility statement makes clear that this is a directed award to the Sonoran Institute rather than an opportunity available to general applicants.
For anyone needing the full text or having trouble accessing the attached announcement, the listed point of contact is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at (303) 969-2392.
