Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) funding opportunity titled "New Technology partnership with SMMF" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS8542100052) describes a planned continuation of an existing partnership with the Santa Monica Mountains Fund (SMMF). Rather than opening a competition for new applicants, the announcement documents NPS intent to issue a single-source cooperative agreement award to SMMF to keep ongoing work moving forward under an already-established cooperative agreement framework.
The core purpose of the award is to continue work under the current Cooperative Agreement H8542070029. The task agreement associated with this opportunity is focused on supporting NPS priorities in the Santa Monica Mountains area by facilitating resource management and enhancing visitor services, operational support, and related programs. In practical terms, this signals funding for partnership activities that help the park manage natural and cultural resources while also improving the visitor experience and supporting day-to-day functions and public-facing programming.
Administratively, this opportunity is categorized as a discretionary award and uses a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument, which typically indicates substantial involvement or collaboration by the federal agency during project performance compared with a standard grant. The funding activity category is listed as "Information and Statistics," and the CFDA number is shown as 00.000 (Not Elsewhere Classified), which is sometimes used when an activity does not align cleanly with a standard CFDA listing or is being reported under a general category.
The announcement anticipates a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $30,000. The award ceiling and floor are both $30,000, indicating the intended award amount is fixed rather than a range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement stated, meaning SMMF is not required by the terms of this notice to contribute a specific non-federal match to receive the funds.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted and created on July 21, 2010, with an original and current closing date of July 28, 2010, and an archive date of August 27, 2010. The eligibility section makes it explicit that this is not a request for applications and that the award is intended as a single-source action to the Santa Monica Mountains Fund, so other entities are not being invited to apply through this announcement.
