Opportunity Summary:
The Visitor Survey Project opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS WASO NOI 2330110008) is a National Park Service (NPS) Notice of Intent announcing that the agency expects to make a single cooperative agreement award to support visitor survey work across multiple national park units. The opportunity falls under the discretionary funding category and is tied to natural resources activities, reflecting NPS interest in gathering consistent, usable information from park visitors to inform management and planning. Rather than an open, competitive solicitation, the notice signals NPS intent to proceed under an existing partnership framework: the Rocky Mountain Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) cooperative agreement.
The anticipated recipient is the University of Idaho, identified as the planned awardee under the Rocky Mountain CESU arrangement. Eligibility is listed as private institutions of higher education, which aligns with how CESU networks often operate by connecting federal land management agencies with university partners to carry out applied research, technical assistance, and data collection projects. In practice, this kind of cooperative agreement typically means NPS expects substantial involvement during the project, such as collaborating on survey design priorities, ensuring consistency with agency standards, coordinating work across different park sites, and supporting the use of results in agency decision-making.
Financially, the notice indicates one expected award with a total estimated funding amount of $402,000. The award ceiling and floor are both $402,000, which implies a fixed anticipated project size rather than a broad range of potential award amounts. No cost sharing or matching requirement is included, so the recipient would not be required to contribute non-federal funds as a condition of the award.
The timeline in the posting is short and reflects the notice-of-intent nature of the announcement. The posting date and creation date are both February 14, 2011, with an original and current closing date of February 18, 2011, and an archive date of March 20, 2011. The CFDA number is listed as 00.000 (Not Elsewhere Classified), which sometimes appears when the program does not map neatly onto a single CFDA listing or when the listing information is handled in a more general way for the notice.
For assistance accessing the announcement, the listed NPS contact is Sybil Winfield, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2076 or by email at sybilwinfield@nps.gov.
