Opportunity Summary:
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS) Notice of Intent to Award for a project called "Natural Resource Condition Assessments for San Juan Island National Historical Park and Ebeys Landing National Historical Reserve." The key point is that it is not an open call for proposals and not a request for applications. Instead, it is a public notification that NPS plans to fund a specific set of project activities through an existing partnership arrangement, without going through full and open competition.
The award is structured as a cooperative agreement, issued under Task Agreement P12AC15016 within the broader Cooperative Agreement H8W07110001. The recipient identified for this work is Oregon State University, participating as a partner through the Pacific Northwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (a CESU network cooperative that helps federal agencies collaborate with universities and other partners on research and technical assistance). In practical terms, this signals that NPS intends to rely on Oregon State University to carry out natural resource condition assessments for the two named park units, which typically involve compiling and evaluating information on the status and trends of key natural resources to inform park management and stewardship.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and falls under the natural resources activity area. The listing indicates there is expected to be one award, with total anticipated funding of $69,963. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $69,963, meaning the amount is effectively fixed rather than a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated for the recipient. The associated CFDA program reference is 15.945, identified as Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to Resources of the National Park System, which is consistent with cooperative research and assessment work conducted with academic partners.
Eligibility in the record is shown as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, matching the intended university partner model. The posting and timing information reflects the notice nature of the announcement rather than a competitive window: it was posted and created on August 16, 2012, with an original and current closing date of August 17, 2012, and an archive date of September 16, 2012. That extremely short "closing" period is typical for notices meant to document an intent to make a noncompetitive award rather than to solicit applications.
For questions or access issues related to the full announcement, the contact listed is Lilette Baltodano, Financial Agreements Officer, at 415-623-2251.
