Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) issued a Notice of Intent for a discretionary funding action titled "Shared hydrologic investigation of Sister Parks at White Sands National Monument" (Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOIWHSA1301015). Rather than being an open competitive grant solicitation, this notice explains that the NPS plans to make a single task agreement award under an existing cooperative agreement specifically to the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology. The work falls under the Natural Resources activity area and aligns with CFDA 15.944 (Natural Resource Stewardship), indicating the project is tied to protecting or better managing park natural resources through scientific investigation.
The purpose of the effort is a shared hydrologic investigation focused on the "Sister Parks" associated with White Sands National Monument. In practical terms, this kind of project typically involves studying water-related conditions and processes that affect park resources, such as surface water and groundwater interactions, recharge and discharge patterns, water availability, and how hydrologic conditions influence sensitive landscapes or ecosystems. The wording "shared" suggests coordination and data-sharing among partner parks or agencies, with the investigation intended to inform stewardship decisions at White Sands and potentially related park units.
Financially, the notice lists an estimated total funding amount of $50,000. No cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated, meaning the recipient is not expected to provide non-federal match as a condition of the award. The opportunity anticipated one award, and both the award ceiling and floor are listed as zero, which generally reflects that the agency is not using those fields to define a competitive range because the action is a directed task agreement under an existing cooperative arrangement rather than a standard open call with multiple potential award amounts.
The timeline is short and reflects the administrative nature of a notice of intent. The posting date and creation date were July 31, 2013, with an original and current closing date of August 2, 2013, and the archive date of August 3, 2013. Eligible applicants are described as "Others" with a clarification that the intent is to award to the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, reinforcing that this was not designed for broad applicant competition.
For questions or access issues related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Trish Fresquez Hernandez, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 505-988-6122. The sponsoring agency is the National Park Service.
