Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service opportunity titled "National Park Service Southern Plains Inventory and Monitoring Network Science Communication Assistance" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIJ2122107010) is a discretionary, natural-resources focused cooperative agreement that was posted on July 22, 2010 and closed on July 27, 2010. The notice describes planned support for science communication assistance connected to the Southern Plains Inventory and Monitoring Network, which is part of the National Park Service effort to track and communicate information about park resources and conditions over time. While the listing uses the standard grants.gov style fields, the key point is that it is not a typical competitive grant solicitation.
This announcement is explicitly a notice of intent for a noncompetitive, single-source award made under the Department of the Interior policy reference DOI 505 DM 2.12C. The award is to be issued as a task agreement under the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), a partnership mechanism NPS uses to collaborate with universities and other partners on research, technical assistance, and related services. Because it is a single-source action, the government is not requesting proposals from the broader public and is not opening a competition; instead, it identifies one intended recipient and proceeds through the CESU task agreement process.
In terms of funding and administrative details, the estimated total funding amount listed is $41,190. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as $0, which is consistent with many notice-of-intent postings where the database fields are not used the same way as in open competitions. The notice also indicates there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. Although the eligible applicants field is broad ("Others"), the eligibility section clarifies that this is not a request for applications and that the single-source recipient is Utah State University.
For anyone trying to access the full announcement materials or having trouble obtaining the attachment referenced in the description, the point of contact provided is Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, at (303) 969-2392.
