Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, released a Notice of Intent (NOI) for a discretionary funding opportunity titled "Web based Environmental Air Quality Database" (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS NOI WASO 2350118502). An NOI typically signals the agency's plan to make an award rather than opening a broad competitive solicitation, and in this case NPS indicates it is planning to award a task agreement to Colorado State University. The project is described as a continuation of an existing effort focused on unifying IMPROVE air quality data, suggesting the work builds on prior development and aims to further consolidate, standardize, or improve access to air quality information used for environmental monitoring and park resource management.
The intended award mechanism is a cooperative agreement, which generally means NPS expects to have substantial involvement during the project, such as collaboration on technical direction, coordination with partners, review of deliverables, or shared planning throughout the period of performance. The funding activity category is Environment, and the program is associated with CFDA 15.945, Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System. The announcement lists a single expected award, reinforcing that this is targeted rather than a multi-award competition.
The estimated total funding is $90,000, with an award ceiling of $90,000 and an award floor of $0. No cost sharing or matching is required. Eligible applicants are identified as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, consistent with the intent to work with a university partner, and specifically naming Colorado State University as the planned recipient.
Key dates show the opportunity was posted and created on August 30, 2011, with an original and current closing date of September 3, 2011, and an archive date of October 3, 2011. This short window is typical of notices that document an intended award rather than inviting extensive proposal submissions from a wide applicant pool. For issues accessing the full announcement, the contact person listed is Sybil Winfield, Contracting Officer, reachable at (303) 969-2076 or sybilwinfield@nps.gov.
