Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Trans Beringia Muskoxen opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP13AC00156) is a discretionary funding action that the National Park Service (NPS) planned to carry out through a cooperative agreement focused on natural resources work. Rather than functioning as an open competition, it was issued as a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award under the Department of the Interior policy cited as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C. In practical terms, that means the NPS was publicly posting its intent to fund a specific partner for a specific project scope, not soliciting proposals from the broader public.
The award was structured as a task agreement under the National Park Service Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). CESUs are cooperative partnerships that support research, technical assistance, and education for federal land management needs, often by linking agencies with universities and other partners. Here, the mechanism indicates NPS anticipated substantial collaboration with the recipient (which is typical of cooperative agreements), such as shared project planning, coordination, and participation in technical work tied to the project.
Funding details show an estimated total of $28,529 with an expected number of awards listed as one. The award ceiling and floor were both listed as $0, which usually reflects that the formal ceiling/floor fields were not used in the posting rather than indicating no money; the meaningful number is the estimated total funding amount. No cost sharing or matching was required, so the recipient was not expected to provide a defined financial match as a condition of receiving the funds.
Eligibility was not broadly available. The announcement explicitly states it was not a request for applications and identifies the University of Montana as the sole intended recipient. The eligible applicant category is therefore essentially limited by the single-source determination described in the notice, even though the generic system field lists "Others" with clarification in the eligibility text.
In terms of timing and administrative tracking, the opportunity was posted and created on March 27, 2013, with an original and current closing date of April 1, 2013, and an archive date of May 1, 2013. The short window is consistent with a notice-of-intent posting for a noncompetitive award, where the goal is disclosure and process compliance rather than allowing time for external applicants to develop submissions.
The opportunity is associated with CFDA number 15.945, which corresponds to Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to resources of the National Park System. Anyone needing help accessing the full announcement was directed to contact Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, at 303-969-2392, indicating the primary point of contact for administrative questions about the posting and supporting documents.
