Opportunity Summary:
The Wetland Study for Gypsum Sister Parks funding opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOIBIBE1501260) is a National Park Service discretionary funding action under the Natural Resources activity category. It is explicitly labeled as a Notice of Intent to Award, meaning it is not an open solicitation and not a request for applications. Instead, the notice is being published to satisfy public notification requirements under 505 DM 2.12 and to communicate that the National Park Service intends to move forward with a non-competitive task agreement.
The planned award is to the World Wildlife Fund, and it will be issued as a task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement framework. The purpose of the task agreement is to continue and complete a wetland study for the Gypsum Sister Parks. In practical terms, this indicates the agency already has an established partner relationship and intends to extend or continue ongoing work rather than competing the project among multiple applicants.
From a funding and award structure standpoint, the announcement anticipates a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $61,493. The listing shows no cost sharing or matching requirement. The award floor and ceiling are both listed as $0, which is commonly seen in notices like this where the agency is providing a public statement of intent rather than publishing a competitive grant package with variable funding ranges.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted and created on August 25, 2015, with an original and current closing date of September 4, 2015, and an archive date of October 4, 2015. Because this is not an application-driven opportunity, those dates function more as an official notice window than a deadline for submitting proposals. The associated CFDA number is 15.944, Natural Resource Stewardship, which aligns with the wetland research and resource management focus of the project.
Eligibility is effectively limited by design: while the system category lists eligible applicants as "Others," the narrative makes clear the National Park Service intends to make a non-competitive award to the World Wildlife Fund under an existing cooperative agreement. Parties interested in the full announcement or who have trouble accessing it electronically are directed to contact the listed contract specialist, Trish Fresquez Hernandez, at 505-988-6122.
