Opportunity Summary:
The opportunity titled "Task Agreement for Invasive Plant Control Research at Point Reyes National Seashore" (Funding Opportunity Number P14AS00372) is a National Park Service notice stating the agency's intent to make an award rather than a call for new applications. It is explicitly labeled as a Notice of Intent to Award and not a Request for Applications, meaning the public posting is meant to provide transparency about the government plan to fund a specific project without going through a full competitive process. The work falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is tied to CFDA 15.944 (Natural Resource Stewardship), reflecting a focus on stewardship and management activities within the National Park Service.
Funding is planned through a Cooperative Agreement, with a single expected award. The estimated total funding and the award ceiling are both listed as 100,000, with an award floor of 0, and the notice states that total anticipated awards under this particular task agreement should not exceed 100,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement indicated, so the recipient is not expected to contribute a required non-federal match as a condition of the award. The posting date is September 18, 2014, with a closing date of September 22, 2014, and an archive date of September 26, 2014; those dates function more as the public notice window than an application period, since the agency is not soliciting proposals.
The intended cooperator for this work is the Point Reyes National Seashore Association, identified as the organization already operating under an umbrella Cooperative Agreement with the National Park Service. The notice explains that specific projects are then implemented through task agreements under that broader umbrella arrangement, and that additional details and justification for the non-competitive approach are contained in an attached Notice of Intent and Single Source Justification. While the listing includes an eligible applicant category of 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations (other than institutions of higher education), the substance of the announcement makes clear that the National Park Service is planning to fund this work with the named cooperator rather than opening a competition.
For anyone needing help obtaining the full announcement or having trouble accessing it electronically, the listed contact is Yvonne Morales at the National Park Service, reachable at 415-464-5221 or by email at yvonnemorales@nps.gov.
