Opportunity Summary:
The Natural Resource Condition Assessments in the Intermountain and Pacific West Regions opportunity is a National Park Service (NPS), U.S. Department of the Interior notice stating the agency's intent to make a single, specific award for work focused on assessing natural resource conditions across parks in the Intermountain and Pacific West areas. It is explicitly not a request for applications or a competitive solicitation. Instead, it functions as a public transparency notice that NPS plans to fund a defined set of project activities through an existing partnership mechanism rather than conducting full and open competition.
The planned award is structured as a cooperative agreement under Funding Opportunity Number NPS PWRNOIP12AC10860, with the activity categorized under Natural Resources. The project would be carried out through Task Agreement P12AC10860 under an existing Cooperative Agreement (H8C07080001) with the Institute for Wildlife Studies, which participates as a partner in the Californian Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) network. In practical terms, this means NPS intended to use an established cooperative framework, typically designed to support collaborative research, technical assistance, and applied science products that benefit public lands management, including the National Park System.
Funding details are clearly defined and fixed. The estimated total funding is $156,908, and both the award ceiling and award floor are listed as $156,908, indicating NPS anticipated one award at that exact amount. The opportunity anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1) and does not require cost sharing or matching funds. The CFDA listing includes 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to resources of the National Park System, aligning the project with NPS-supported research and assessment activities.
Although the notice lists eligible applicants as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, the core point of the announcement is that NPS intended to proceed with a non-competitive award to a specific partner already tied to the CESU arrangement. This kind of notice is commonly used when an agency has statutory, programmatic, or practical reasons to use an existing agreement or a named partner, and it gives the public a record of that intention even though new applications are not being sought.
Key dates show how brief the public notice window was. The posting date and creation date were July 5, 2012, with an original and current closing date of July 6, 2012, and an archive date of August 5, 2012. Those dates reinforce that the announcement was meant as a formal notice rather than a period for proposal development and submission.
