Opportunity Summary:
The Sangre de Cristo National Heritage Area opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP13AC00841) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action related to natural resources that was posted on July 11, 2013. It is structured as a cooperative agreement and is tied to work that will be carried out through a task agreement under an already-existing Master Agreement. In practical terms, this notice is not announcing an open competition for new applicants; it is signaling the government s intent to issue a noncompetitive task agreement to a specific partner organization.
The announcement is explicitly a notice of intent rather than a request for applications. The NPS states that the award will be made as a single source, noncompetitive action in accordance with Department of the Interior policy cited as 505 Department Manual 2.12C. That citation is used for situations where an agency can justify awarding to a specific entity without a competitive process, often because the recipient is uniquely qualified, already designated by statute or program structure, or is the established managing entity under an existing agreement. Because of that structure, even though the listing includes an "Eligible Applicants" field, the opportunity is not open for general submission and is intended only for the Sangre de Cristo National Heritage Area.
Funding details in the notice indicate an estimated total funding amount of 163,452. The listing shows an award ceiling and award floor of 0, which commonly appears in notices of intent where the funding is already determined through an internal agreement mechanism rather than being set up as a typical competitive grant with defined minimums and maximums. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated, meaning the recipient is not expected to provide a matching contribution as a condition of receiving the federal funds.
Timing information reflects a very short public notice window. The posted date and creation date are both July 11, 2013, with an original and current closing date of July 16, 2013, and an archive date of August 15, 2013. Short windows like this are typical for noncompetitive notices of intent because the purpose is primarily transparency and public record rather than soliciting proposals.
For questions or issues accessing the announcement, the contact listed is Kelvin Delaney, Contracting Officer, National Park Service Intermountain Region, reachable by phone at 303 969 2796. This contact is geared toward administrative or access questions, not proposal submission, since the notice does not invite applications from the public.
