Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) posted a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Program Activities for George Wright Society" under Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIWASOH2303100003. The action is not a new open competition; it is a notice of intent to modify an existing cooperative agreement (H2303100003) with the George Wright Society. In practical terms, this means the NPS planned to add funding and/or adjust the scope of work under a current agreement rather than solicit proposals from multiple applicants. The stated purpose of the modification is to support planning activities for an upcoming George Wright conference scheduled for March 2013, which aligns with the NPS natural resource stewardship mission and the broader Natural Resources funding activity category.
The opportunity is structured as a cooperative agreement, indicating that the NPS anticipated substantial involvement in the work rather than simply issuing a hands-off grant. The posting specifies that the award is non-competitive in accordance with Department of the Interior policy (505 DM 2), which generally governs when and how non-competitive financial assistance actions can be justified, such as when an existing relationship, specific expertise, or continuity of work makes competition impractical or unnecessary. The expected number of awards is one, consistent with the intent to fund only the George Wright Society through an amendment to the existing agreement.
Financially, the estimated total funding is $126,000, with an award ceiling of $126,000 and an award floor of $0. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not be required to contribute non-federal funds to meet a match threshold. The Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) listing associated with the action is 15.944, Natural Resource Stewardship, which signals the programmatic area the funding supports and helps categorize the assistance within federal reporting and stewardship frameworks.
Eligibility is listed as nonprofits with 501(c)(3) status, other than institutions of higher education. However, because this is explicitly a notice of intent tied to a specific existing agreement and states that no competitive award will be made, the eligibility statement functions more as a general classification than an invitation for new applicants to apply. The timeline reinforces this limited intent: the opportunity was posted on August 9, 2012, with an original and current closing date of August 10, 2012, and an archive date of September 9, 2012, reflecting a brief public notice window typical of non-competitive intent notices rather than an open grant competition.
For access issues or questions about the announcement, the listed contact is Robert Dobson, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-987-6988.
