Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Season preparation Landbird Monitoring NCCN" is a National Park Service (NPS) notice stating its intent to issue a single-source, noncompetitive task agreement to the Institute for Bird Populations (IBP), based in Point Reyes Station, California. It comes out of the U.S. Department of the Interior and is justified under DOI policy (Departmental Manual 505DM2) using a "Unique Qualifications" rationale. In practical terms, NPS is saying IBP is the only organization it plans to fund for this specific work because IBP has the needed combination of location-based capability, technical expertise, and other specialized qualifications tied to the existing monitoring effort.
The purpose of the task agreement is to fund season-preparation work for the 2011 field season of landbird monitoring under the North Coast and Cascades Network (NCCN) Landbird Monitoring Protocol. This is not a brand-new project being opened to competition; it is a continuation and support action connected to a larger, already-active five-year cooperative agreement that covers avian monitoring and related services. The season-prep focus implies work like coordinating field logistics, staffing readiness, survey planning, ensuring protocol compliance, and getting everything in place so the monitoring surveys can be carried out consistently with established Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs).
The monitoring covered under this task agreement spans multiple national park units and specific survey designs. The notice references preparation to conduct monitoring surveys at SAJH (about 54 sites) as well as monitoring in MORA, NOCA, and OLYM. For Olympic (OLYM), the work is limited to panels 1 and 6 only, totaling 68 transects across the parks as described in the protocol and SOPs. A key expectation is that IBP will collaborate closely with NPS on completing the NCCN Landbird Monitoring Protocol and on any sampling modifications that may be needed, but only as outlined and controlled through the existing protocol/SOP framework. This signals an emphasis on consistency, data quality, and continuity with prior years of monitoring, which is critical for long-term trend detection in landbird populations.
Financially, the task agreement value and the total estimated funding are both listed as $53,950, with an award ceiling of $53,950 and an award floor of $1. The opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding, uses a cooperative agreement instrument type, falls under the natural resources activity category, and anticipates exactly one award. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement.
Most importantly for anyone looking to apply, this announcement is explicitly not a request for applications and is labeled "for informational purposes only." It functions as a public notice that NPS intends to proceed without full and open competition and to fund IBP specifically. The posting dates show it was posted August 25, 2010, with an original and current closing date of August 27, 2010, and it was archived August 30, 2010, reflecting how these notices are often time-limited postings that document an intended award decision rather than run an open competition.
For questions or issues accessing the announcement, the listed contact is Barry Fetzer, Contract Specialist, North Cascades National Park Service contracting office, phone 360-854-7219. The funding opportunity number associated with the notice is NPS NOINOCAJ9471101192.
