Opportunity Summary:
The New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology Support Services for the Executive Director opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIWASOP12AC10352) is a National Park Service (NPS) notice stating the government’s intent to issue a non-competitive task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement (H2360097030) with the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology (NMT). The notice is issued under Department of the Interior policy guidance (505 DM 2) and is positioned as a continuation of an established working relationship rather than an open competition. In practical terms, this means the NPS is signaling that it plans to direct this funding to the current partner (NMT) through an add-on task agreement tied to an already active cooperative agreement vehicle.
The purpose of the funding is to help the NPS meet its statutory responsibility to support the National Cave and Karst Research Institute (as established by the National Cave and Karst Research Institute Act, Public Law 105-325) and to help the Institute carry out its mission as defined in its Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws. The work described centers on institutional support services connected to the Executive Director function, with emphasis on strengthening the Institute’s operational capacity and external presence. The NPS specifically highlights support for improving public outreach and communications, enhancing the Institute’s image and effectiveness as a leading cave and karst research center, and advancing progress toward completion of the Institute’s headquarters building. The overall theme is capability-building and strategic support rather than stand-alone research projects, with a strong focus on communications, organizational positioning, and facility completion.
From an administrative and funding standpoint, this is listed as a discretionary funding opportunity using a cooperative agreement instrument, categorized under Natural Resources, and associated with CFDA 15.944 (Natural Resource Stewardship). The expected number of awards is one, consistent with the stated intent to make a non-competitive award to the existing partner. The estimated total funding is $303,000, and the award ceiling is also $303,000 (with an award floor of $0), indicating the planned award amount is up to that total. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement identified, so the recipient is not expected to provide a mandatory match as a condition of the award.
Key timing details reflect that this was a time-limited notice published on May 8, 2012, with an original and current closing date of May 11, 2012, and an archive date of June 10, 2012. Because it is a non-competitive continuation action, the short window is consistent with a notice-and-documentation process rather than a standard competitive application period. The eligible applicant category shown is nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status other than institutions of higher education; however, the narrative makes clear that the intended recipient is NMT through the existing cooperative agreement framework, reinforcing that this posting functions primarily as a public notice of intent rather than a broad solicitation.
