Opportunity Summary:
The Utah Geological Survey Paleontological Resources Inventory and Monitoring Partnership is a discretionary National Park Service (NPS) cooperative agreement created to support paleontological resource work in and around key NPS units on the Colorado Plateau. The award is explicitly described as non-competitive and is directed to a single recipient, the Utah Geological Survey (UGS) in Salt Lake City, Utah. The overall purpose is to formalize and fund a partnership in which UGS assists the NPS with systematic paleontological inventory and monitoring activities at Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, while also producing paleontological resource reports that can be used by NPS-managed areas across the broader Colorado Plateau region.
This opportunity is categorized under Natural Resources and uses a cooperative agreement funding instrument, which generally indicates active involvement by the federal agency in the work as it is carried out. In practical terms, the project is meant to strengthen the NPS ability to identify, document, and track fossil resources, improve baseline knowledge of what paleontological materials exist within park boundaries, and support ongoing monitoring that can detect changes or threats over time. The reporting component for multiple NPS areas on the Colorado Plateau suggests the effort is not limited to field activities at Glen Canyon alone, but also includes synthesis and documentation intended to guide stewardship and decision-making across other parks and monuments in the region.
Funding for the project is listed as an estimated total of $84,000, with an award ceiling of $84,000 and an award floor of $0, and the anticipated number of awards is one. A cost sharing or matching requirement is noted, meaning the recipient is expected to contribute some portion of the project cost through non-federal funds, in-kind contributions, or other allowable match consistent with the agreement terms. The opportunity lists eligible applicants as state governments, aligning with UGS as a state entity.
From an administrative standpoint, the posting date and creation date are both August 5, 2009. The original and current closing dates are August 15, 2009, and the archive date is September 14, 2009, indicating the window for action was short and consistent with a pre-identified, non-competitive arrangement rather than an open competition. No solicitation document is available for the requirement, which further reinforces that this was not intended to solicit proposals from multiple applicants. The funding opportunity number is NPS NOIR2360097093, and the CFDA number is shown as 00.000 (Not Elsewhere Classified), which is sometimes used when a program does not map cleanly onto a standard CFDA listing.
For access or assistance related to the announcement, the listed point of contact is Robert Dobson, Contract Specialist with the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 303-987-6988.
