Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) issued a Notice of Intent (NOI) for a discretionary cooperative agreement titled "Vegetation Mapping Field Guide to the Natural Plant Communities of the National Capital Region" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS NOI NCRO R3992110327). The project sits within the Natural Resources funding activity area and is tied to CFDA 15.944, Natural Resource Stewardship. The stated purpose is to produce a vegetation mapping field guide focused on the natural plant communities found in the National Capital Region, supporting resource stewardship and management activities that rely on consistent, field-ready vegetation classification and mapping references.
This opportunity is not an open solicitation and was not intended to generate competing applications. Instead, it is explicitly described as a single-source, noncompetitive award to NatureServe, with the announcement noting that it is being made under Department of the Interior policy (DOI 505 DM 2.12C). The work would be implemented through a task agreement under the Center for Urban Ecology (CUE) Cooperative Agreement No. H3992070002, which indicates the award would be structured as a cooperative agreement where substantial federal involvement is typical, rather than a standard grant with more limited agency participation.
The NPS anticipated making one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $444,500. No cost sharing or matching was required. The award ceiling and floor were both listed as $0, which commonly appears in notices like this when the agency is not using those fields to define a competitive range and instead is documenting a predetermined single-source action.
Key dates in the public posting show it was posted and created on September 16, 2011, with an original and current closing date of September 18, 2011, and an archive date of October 18, 2011. Because it was a notice of intent rather than a request for applications, the short window is consistent with a posting meant to provide public transparency about the agency's intent to make a noncompetitive award, rather than to collect proposals.
For access issues related to the full announcement, the listed point of contact was Rita Mihalik, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 301-432-7890 or by email at ritamihalik@nps.gov.
