Opportunity Summary:
This grant opportunity, titled "Technical assistance for the Upper Columbia Basin Network including database development, GIS, and science communication - Phase 2" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS NOIR2126110017), is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action in the natural resources area. The work is structured as a cooperative agreement and is intended to support the Upper Columbia Basin Network with technical assistance focused on three main service areas: database development, GIS (Geographic Information Systems) support, and science communication. As a "Phase 2" effort, it indicates a continuation or follow-on segment of previously initiated work, aimed at further developing or sustaining the technical infrastructure and communication products used to manage and share natural resource information within the network.
The announcement is not an open, competitive solicitation. Instead, it is a notice of intent to make a single-source, noncompetitive award under the National Park Service Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) mechanism. The justification for the noncompetitive approach is tied to Department of the Interior policy, specifically referenced as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C. The only intended recipient identified is the University of Idaho, and the eligibility field makes clear that this is not a request for applications from other organizations. In practical terms, that means there is no application process for the general public or other institutions; the posting serves mainly as a transparency and public notice requirement for a planned award.
From a funding and administrative standpoint, the opportunity anticipates one award with an estimated total funding amount of $27,000. There is no stated award ceiling or floor (both listed as 0), which commonly appears in postings where a specific intended amount is already known but the standard fields are not used to bracket a competitive range. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient is not expected to contribute a mandatory non-federal share. The program is associated with CFDA number 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to the resources of the National Park System.
The timing information reflects the short window typical of postings that are not truly open competitions. The opportunity was posted and created on August 12, 2011, with an original and current closing date of August 16, 2011, and an archive date of September 15, 2011. These dates function more as administrative milestones for the notice rather than as a period during which multiple applicants would prepare and submit proposals.
For additional details beyond the brief synopsis, the notice indicates that more information is contained in an attached announcement, and it provides a point of contact for access issues: William Tallbull, Grant/Agreement Specialist, at 303-969-2891.
