Opportunity Summary:
The Northeast Coastal and Barrier Network Ecological Inventory and Monitoring Program Assistance opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 12 NERO 0061) is a National Park Service notice stating its intent to make a single, specific award rather than inviting applications from the public. It is issued by the United States Department of the Interior, National Park Service, and it is explicitly labeled as a "NOTICE OF INTENT TO AWARD" and "NOT A REQUEST FOR APPLICATIONS." In practical terms, that means the NPS is using the posting mainly to satisfy public notice requirements, not to run an open competition where multiple applicants submit proposals for consideration.
The purpose of the notice is to announce that the NPS plans to enter into a cooperative agreement for ecological inventory and monitoring assistance tied to the Northeast Coastal and Barrier Network (NCBN). The announcement references Task Agreement P12AC10769 under an existing Cooperative Agreement (H4503090700), with the named cooperator being the University of Rhode Island. The work falls under the broad topic area of environment and natural resources, and it is connected to the NPS Inventory and Monitoring Program, which supports the collection and analysis of ecological data to inform resource management across participating park units in the network.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the opportunity is categorized as discretionary and uses a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument. The total anticipated funding amount is $47,566, and because the award ceiling and award floor are both listed as $47,566, the posting indicates a fixed expected award amount rather than a range. Only one award is expected. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement identified, meaning the recipient is not expected to provide a non-federal match as a condition of the award, at least as stated in the synopsis.
Eligibility information is included, but it is largely academic in this context because the NPS is not seeking competing applications. The eligible applicant type listed is "Public and State controlled institutions of higher education," which aligns with the intended recipient, the University of Rhode Island. The associated CFDA number is 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, which is a federal assistance program commonly used for research, technical support, and collaborative projects that benefit national park resources.
The timeline reflects the administrative nature of the posting. It was posted and created on June 29, 2012, with an original and current closing date of July 4, 2012, and it was archived on July 5, 2012. Those short dates are consistent with a notice meant to inform the public of a planned, non-competitive award rather than to allow time for proposal development and submission. For full project details, the synopsis directs readers to an attachment available under the "Full Announcement" section, implying that the specific scope of work, deliverables, and terms are laid out in that document rather than in the brief public summary.
For access or technical issues retrieving the full announcement, the contact listed is Dawn Mach, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 215-597-0056.
