Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "National Park Service - Wupatki Earthcrack Survey - Phase 2" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS NOIP14AC01069) is a National Park Service discretionary grant action that will be carried out through a cooperative agreement. It falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is associated with CFDA 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to Resources of the National Park System. The posted and created date for the notice was June 26, 2014, with a closing date of June 30, 2014, and it was later archived on July 30, 2014. The estimated total funding for the action is $40,000, and there is no stated award ceiling or floor (both listed as $0), which typically indicates that the award amount is defined by the specific task agreement rather than being competed within a range.
This notice is not an open competition and is explicitly not a request for applications. Instead, it is a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award to Northern Arizona University. While the "Eligible Applicants" field is broadly listed as "Others," the eligibility statement clarifies that the award is already designated for a specific recipient and that other entities should not interpret the posting as an invitation to apply. The action will be executed as a task agreement under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), a partnership framework often used by DOI agencies to collaborate with universities and other partners on research, technical assistance, and applied science projects that support public land management.
The announcement also states that the noncompetitive nature of the award is being handled in accordance with Department of the Interior policy, specifically DOI 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C, which is cited as the authority for issuing a single-source award when appropriate conditions are met. In practical terms, this means the agency has determined that Northern Arizona University is the intended partner for Phase 2 of the Wupatki Earthcrack Survey effort and will proceed directly to a task agreement rather than running a competitive solicitation.
For individuals who need access to the full announcement but cannot retrieve it electronically, the notice provides a point of contact: Katie Gaertner, Procurement Technician, at (303) 969-2909.
