Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Phase II Hydrologic Modeling at White Sands National Monument" (Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOIWHSA1300970) is a National Park Service (NPS) Notice of Intent announcing the agency's plan to make a single award under an existing cooperative agreement. Rather than being an open, competitive solicitation, it is specifically tied to continuing work already underway, with the intent to issue a task agreement to the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology to complete the second phase of hydrologic modeling efforts at White Sands National Monument. The activity falls under the Natural Resources funding category and is associated with CFDA 15.944, Natural Resource Stewardship, which generally covers projects that support the protection, management, and scientific understanding of park resources.
In practical terms, the announcement signals that NPS had already established a cooperative agreement framework with the named institution and intended to use that vehicle to extend or finalize technical work related to water and hydrologic processes at the monument. The purpose of the work is described at a high level as "Phase II" hydrologic modeling, implying a continuation from an earlier phase that likely involved baseline data gathering, initial model development, or preliminary calibration, followed by a second phase that may focus on refinement, validation, scenario analysis, or application of the model to management questions. The notice does not list detailed project tasks or deliverables, but the framing makes clear that the award is meant to support resource stewardship through applied hydrologic science.
The funding details indicate an estimated total funding amount of $49,094 and an expectation of one award. No cost sharing or matching is required. The listing shows an award ceiling and floor of $0, which commonly appears in notices where the exact amount is handled through the associated agreement and tasking documents rather than advertised as a competitive range. The opportunity was posted on July 31, 2013, with an original and current closing date of August 2, 2013, and an archive date of August 3, 2013, reflecting a very short public window that is typical for notices of intent tied to a pre-identified recipient and an existing cooperative agreement rather than a broad call for proposals.
Eligibility is effectively restricted by the structure of the announcement. While the general field lists eligible applicants as "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," the eligibility clarification states directly that the intended recipient is the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology under an existing cooperative agreement. As a result, other organizations would not reasonably expect to compete for this award because the notice functions primarily as public documentation of the agency's intent and planned administrative action.
For administrative and access questions, the NPS provided a point of contact: Trish Fresquez Hernandez, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 505-988-6122.
