Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "National Park Service Sustainable Operations and Facility Adaption" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIPP14AC01573) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary grant action intended to support work connected to sustainable operations and facility adaptation within the National Park System. It is categorized under the Natural Resources funding activity area and is administered as a cooperative agreement, which generally means the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project during performance rather than simply issuing funds and stepping back. The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.945, identified as Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to the resources of the National Park System.
This posting is not a competitive solicitation and is explicitly described as a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award. The announcement states it will result in a task agreement under the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), a partnership framework commonly used by federal agencies to collaborate with academic institutions and other partners on research, technical assistance, and training activities. The noncompetitive approach is cited as being consistent with the Department of the Interior policy referenced as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C, which provides the departmental basis for limiting competition under certain justified circumstances. Because of this structure, the listing is effectively informational: it signals the government s intent to award rather than inviting proposals from the broader public.
Eligibility is therefore narrow and predefined. While the general eligibility field references "Others" with additional clarification, the announcement makes the key point directly: it is a single source award to Montana State University. In practical terms, that means other organizations are not being invited to apply, and there is no open application process associated with this notice. Correspondingly, the posting notes that there is no cost sharing or matching requirement.
In terms of funding and timing, the estimated total funding amount is 35,043 dollars, with an expected number of awards listed as one. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as zero, which is a common way of indicating that a specific negotiated amount will be handled through the task agreement rather than being bounded by a published minimum and maximum. The opportunity was posted and created on August 22, 2014, with an original and current closing date of August 26, 2014, and it was later archived on September 25, 2014. The very short open period aligns with the fact that this is not a request for applications but a formal public notice tied to a planned single recipient award.
