Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service Virtual Learning Centers Website Support and Evolution 2010 2011 opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIJ2123107012) was a discretionary cooperative agreement announcement issued by the National Park Service (NPS) under the Natural Resources activity area. The purpose of the award was to support and further develop the National Park Service Virtual Learning Centers website during the 2010 to 2011 period, focusing on ongoing website support and the evolution of the platform as an educational and resource tool.
This notice was released as a notice of intent (NOI) to make a noncompetitive, single-source award under the National Park Service Desert Southwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The announcement explicitly states that it was not a request for applications and was not open for competitive proposals. Instead, NPS indicated its intent to issue one task agreement under the CESU framework to a specified recipient, consistent with Department of the Interior policy cited as DOI 505 DM 2.12C, which governs circumstances under which noncompetitive awards may be justified.
The anticipated funding associated with the action was approximately $91,500 in total, with one expected award. No cost sharing or matching funds were required. The posted and creation date for the notice was August 4, 2010, with an original and current closing date of August 9, 2010, and an archive date of September 8, 2010. Because this was a single-source, noncompetitive action, the short window functioned more as a public posting and documentation step rather than a typical open application period.
Eligibility was effectively limited by design: while the eligible applicants field references "Others" and points to additional eligibility language, the notice clarifies that the action was a single-source award to the Sonoran Institute. In other words, other organizations were not being invited to apply through this posting, and the award was intended for that specific partner under the CESU task agreement mechanism.
For further details or assistance accessing the full announcement, the NPS listed a point of contact: William Tallbull, Grant/Agreement Specialist, at 303-969-2891.
