Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) opportunity titled "Transportation Use and Trends Influencing National Parks and Allocation Formulas" is a Notice of Intent (NOI) rather than an open, competitive grant solicitation. In practical terms, that means the agency is announcing its plan to make a single, non-competitive award and is not asking the public to submit applications. The planned award would be issued as a Task Agreement under the Gulf Coast Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) Master Cooperative Agreement (H500002A271), and it is being done under Department of the Interior policy cited as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C, which covers circumstances where a non-competitive or single-source approach is used.
The core purpose of the project is straightforward: to collect and compile existing transportation data related to the National Park Service. The title suggests that the compiled information will be used to better understand transportation use and trends affecting national parks and to inform allocation formulas, which typically refers to the way transportation-related resources, funding, or program support might be distributed across parks based on need, usage, or other measurable factors. The announcement emphasizes that the work is about gathering existing data (not necessarily creating new field data), implying an effort focused on data inventory, consolidation, quality review, and analysis-ready organization to support NPS planning and decision-making.
This opportunity is categorized as discretionary funding and uses a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument type. It falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is associated with CFDA number 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to resources of the National Park System. The expected number of awards is one, with an estimated total funding amount of $51,000. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed, meaning the recipient is not expected to contribute a required financial match as a condition of the award.
Eligibility is effectively limited by design. While the general eligibility field references "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," the announcement explicitly states that this is not a request for applications and that the intent is to make a single-source award to Texas AgriLife (Texas A&M University). Because it is a CESU-based task agreement, it sits within a cooperative research framework that commonly leverages partnerships with universities and research entities for applied studies and data-focused work supporting federal land management agencies.
Timing details reinforce that this was a short administrative posting rather than a window for proposals. The posted date and creation date were August 2, 2012, with an original and current closing date of August 3, 2012, and an archive date of September 2, 2012. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as zero, which is typical of some older federal postings where the estimated total funding amount is provided but ceilings/floors are not populated in the same way as competitive grant announcements.
For anyone needing the complete announcement or having trouble accessing it electronically, the listed point of contact is Rose McClelland, Contracting Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 504-589-3882 or by email at rosemcclelland@nps.gov.
