Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) posted a discretionary grant opportunity titled "Vegetation Classification and Mapping" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIWASOJ2340100052) under the Natural Resources activity category, using a Cooperative Agreement as the funding instrument. The notice was posted on August 27, 2010, with an original and current closing date of August 30, 2010, and it was later archived on September 29, 2010. The opportunity anticipated a single award with an estimated total funding amount of $268,813, which also served as the award ceiling; the award floor was listed as $0. No cost sharing or matching was required.
The purpose of the project was to support development of the national vegetation classification hierarchy in Alaska, along with evaluation and improvement of the LANDFIRE "auto key" process and exploration of how these approaches could be applied to national-scale mapping. In practical terms, the work described points to refining how vegetation types are defined and organized (classification), improving the tools and workflows used to assign mapped vegetation to those classification units (the auto key process), and testing whether the resulting methods and products can be applied beyond Alaska to broader mapping efforts.
Although the listing includes "Public and State controlled institutions of higher education" in the eligible applicants field, the announcement itself makes clear that this action was planned as a non-competitive task agreement to NatureServe under an existing cooperative agreement (No. H2340060010). It is explicitly described as a "notice of intent" for a non-competitive award, citing Department of the Interior policy (Department Manual 505 DM 2) as the basis for proceeding without competition. In other words, the public posting functioned primarily as formal notice that NPS intended to make a single, directed award rather than run an open, competitive grant solicitation.
For access issues or questions about the announcement, the contact listed was Robert Dobson, Contract Specialist at the National Park Service, reachable by phone at 303-987-6988.
