Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) funding opportunity titled "Vegetation mapping and monitoring" (Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOISODN10366) is a discretionary cooperative agreement focused on natural resource work, specifically the monitoring and mapping of vegetation. The core purpose described in the notice is to carry out vegetation mapping and monitoring activities under a task agreement that is issued against an existing cooperative agreement, meaning this is not being structured as a brand-new standalone award but as additional work added under an already-established partnership mechanism.
This posting is explicitly labeled as "for informational purposes only" and functions as a Notice of Intent rather than an open competitive solicitation. According to the eligibility statement, the NPS intended to make the award to the Student Conservation Association (SCA) to support natural resource research, inventory, and monitoring work across 11 parks within the Sonoran Desert Network. While it notes that the award was competed under internal NPS procedures, the public-facing announcement itself is not presented as an open call for applications from the broader public. The eligible applicants field is listed as "Others (see text field...)" which is consistent with the intent-to-award format where the recipient is effectively pre-identified in the notice.
In terms of funding details, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $39,814, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. The expected number of awards is one. The award floor and ceiling are both shown as $0, which often appears in listings where the funding amount is managed internally or where the system fields are not being used to define a competitive range, particularly when the announcement is informational and tied to an existing agreement. The assistance listing references CFDA 15.931, "Conservation Activities by Youth Service Organizations," aligning with the involvement of the Student Conservation Association and youth conservation-oriented fieldwork.
The timeline indicates the notice was posted on May 10, 2012, with an original and current closing date of May 11, 2012, and an archive date of May 12, 2012. This extremely short open window further supports that the announcement was not intended to solicit broad applications, but instead to document the intended award action. For access issues or additional questions, the listed contact is Rhonda Martinez, Contract Specialist at the National Park Service, with the phone number 505-988-6042.
