Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) posted a discretionary funding notice titled "Vegetation Mapping Field Guide to Natural Plant Communities of NCR" under Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOI NCRO R3992120325. The effort falls under the Natural Resources funding activity category and is associated with CFDA 15.944, Natural Resource Stewardship. The stated purpose is to produce a vegetation mapping field guide focused on the natural plant communities of the NCR, meaning it supports resource stewardship work by documenting and guiding identification of vegetation communities used in mapping and management.
This notice is not an open competition and it is not a request for applications. Instead, it is a notice of intent to make a single-source, noncompetitive award to NatureServe. The NPS indicates the award will be issued as a task agreement under an existing Master Cooperative Agreement, P12AC31174, and cites Department of the Interior policy at 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C as the basis for the noncompetitive approach. In practical terms, the agency is signaling that it intends to directly fund a specific partner through an established cooperative agreement mechanism rather than solicit proposals from the public.
The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, with one expected award and an estimated total funding amount of $169,400. No cost sharing or matching is required. The opportunity shows no award ceiling or floor values listed, which typically means the agency did not set separate minimum or maximum thresholds beyond the total estimate provided in the notice. The posting date and creation date are Aug 30, 2012, with an original and current closing date of Sep 1, 2012, and an archive date of Oct 1, 2012, reflecting that the notice was time-limited and is now archived.
Eligibility is effectively limited by design: while the listing includes a general "Others" category, the eligibility statement clarifies that this is a single-source award to NatureServe, so other entities are not being invited to apply. Anyone needing the full announcement or having trouble accessing it electronically is directed to contact Rita Mihalik, Contract Specialist, at 301-432-7890 or ritamihalik@nps.gov.
