Opportunity Information: Apply for P20AS00072
This notice describes a National Park Service (NPS) intent to make a single, non-competitive cooperative agreement award connected to California condor recovery work at Pinnacles National Park. It is explicitly a Notice of Intent to Award and not a request for applications, meaning the agency is not soliciting proposals from the public and there is no application window or competitive selection process associated with this announcement. Instead, the purpose of the posting is transparency: it lets the public know the NPS plans to fund a specific set of project activities with a named partner without full and open competition.
The opportunity is titled "Recover Condors by Sharing GPS Data at Pinnacles National Park" and is listed under Funding Opportunity Number P20AS00072. The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which typically indicates that the NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project alongside the recipient (for example, coordinating actions, sharing data, aligning field operations, or jointly managing deliverables), rather than simply issuing a grant with minimal federal participation. The activity category is Natural Resources, and the CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) number provided is 15.944, which aligns with NPS assistance programs.
The intended recipient identified in the notice is the Ventana Wildlife Society, a nonprofit organization, and the eligible applicant type stated in the source data is 501(c)(3) nonprofits other than institutions of higher education. Even though that eligibility language is included, in practice it does not function as an open eligibility criterion here because the agency is not requesting applications; it is announcing its intent to award to the named organization under Cooperative Agreement P20AC00610.
In terms of scale and expectations, the notice anticipates one award with an award ceiling of $98,480 and an expected number of awards equal to 1. The announcement date (creation date) is May 22, 2020, and there is no closing date because there is no application process. Overall, the project focus implied by the title is the use and sharing of GPS-derived location data to support condor recovery efforts at Pinnacles National Park, which commonly relates to improving monitoring, locating birds efficiently, supporting management decisions, and strengthening coordination among field teams working on recovery actions.Apply for P20AS00072
