Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "National Park Service Wayside Exhibit Evaluation, Consultation, and Expanded Audience Opportunities" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIJ8650110011) is a National Park Service discretionary funding notice that will be issued as a cooperative agreement under the Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The activity category is listed under Natural Resources, and the announcement describes the action as leading to a task agreement award. In practical terms, this indicates the National Park Service is planning to support work connected to evaluating and improving "wayside" exhibits, which are typically outdoor interpretive panels and displays used in parks to communicate information about natural, cultural, and historical resources to visitors.
This notice is explicitly a notice of intent for a noncompetitive, single-source award, made in accordance with Department of the Interior policy (cited as DOI 505 DM 2.12C). It is not an open solicitation and not a request for applications. The eligible applicant field is effectively overridden by the eligibility statement, which clarifies that the award is intended for one specific institution: Arizona State University. The posting date and creation date are both December 20, 2010, with a very short listed closing date of December 24, 2010, and an archive date of January 23, 2011, which is consistent with notices that exist primarily to document intent and satisfy public notice requirements rather than to invite competition.
The anticipated funding amount for this action is an estimated total of $49,899, with the award ceiling and award floor both shown as $0, which usually means the system entry did not specify formal minimum or maximum award limits for a competitive pool because the action is not competitive. The announcement states there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The listing includes a CFDA number shown as 00.000 "Not Elsewhere Classified," which typically appears when a specific CFDA/assistance listing number is not assigned or not used for that entry. The opportunity anticipates a single award.
For additional details beyond the summary fields, the notice directs interested parties to the attached announcement (not included in the text you provided). If there are issues accessing the full announcement electronically, the listed point of contact is Jenny Sommer, Agreements Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392.
