Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, issued a Notice of Intent to Award for a project titled "Program Support for the Pacific Northwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit and the Great Basin Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit." This notice is meant as public disclosure of the agency's plan to make an award and is explicitly not a request for applications or a competitive solicitation. In other words, the NPS was not inviting new proposals; it was announcing that it intended to fund a specific set of activities through an existing cooperative agreement arrangement.
The planned award is structured as a cooperative agreement (a type of federal assistance instrument typically used when the government expects to be substantially involved in the project, as opposed to a standard grant). The work would be carried out under Task Agreement P12AC15056, which sits under Cooperative Agreement H8W07110001, with the University of Washington. The University of Washington is identified as a partner under the Pacific Northwest Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (PNW CESU), and the project is designed to provide programmatic support services tied to both the PNW CESU and the Great Basin CESU. The opportunity is categorized under the environmental funding activity area and is associated with CFDA number 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System, indicating the broader federal assistance program the funding aligns with.
The notice indicates that the NPS expected to make a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with total estimated funding of $36,323. The award amount is fixed in the listing, with the ceiling and floor both set at $36,323, which signals that the agency had already determined the funding level for the intended task. No cost sharing or matching funds were required, meaning the recipient was not expected to provide non-federal funds as a condition of the award.
Although the listing includes typical eligibility categories such as public, state-controlled, and private institutions of higher education, the intent of the notice is that the funding would be directed to the University of Washington without full and open competition due to the existing CESU cooperative framework and the specific task agreement being announced. The posting and creation dates were August 8, 2012, with an original and current closing date of August 9, 2012, and an archive date of September 8, 2012. These short timeframes are consistent with notices intended to inform the public of an intended non-competitive award rather than to collect and evaluate applications over a longer period.
For administrative or access questions about the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Cameron Reed, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 415-623-2253 or by email at cameronreed@nps.gov.
