Opportunity Summary:
The Department of the Interior, National Park Service (NPS) posted a Notice of Intent to Award for a project titled "Archeological Documentation and Inventory of the Honouliuli National Monument." The key point is that this posting is not a solicitation and not a request for applications. Instead, it serves as public notice that NPS intends to make a single, specific award without full and open competition for a defined set of project activities.
The opportunity is listed under Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00596 and is categorized as a discretionary funding action using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument. The activity category is labeled as "Other," indicating the work does not fit neatly into a standard program bucket and is explained in the agency's accompanying text. The assistance listing tied to the opportunity is CFDA 15.945, which is commonly associated with National Park Service assistance programs.
NPS indicates it plans to fund the work through Task Agreement P16AC01702 under an existing Cooperative Agreement (P14AC00637). The intended recipient is the University of Hawaii, West Oahu. The university is identified as a partner within the Californian Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) network, which is a mechanism federal agencies often use to collaborate with universities and other partners for research, technical assistance, and resource management projects. Because the recipient is pre-identified and the award is being made under an established cooperative agreement framework, this notice functions mainly as transparency around a non-competitive award rather than an open funding competition.
In practical terms, the project scope is focused on archeological documentation and inventory work at Honouliuli National Monument. While the notice does not list detailed tasks, the title strongly implies activities such as identifying and recording archeological sites and features, compiling or updating an inventory of cultural resources, and producing documentation that can be used for monument planning, stewardship, compliance, and long-term preservation. Inventory and documentation projects like this typically support NPS cultural resource management responsibilities by creating or improving baseline information about the location, condition, and significance of archeological resources within park or monument boundaries.
The funding details indicate an anticipated single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an award ceiling of $61,465. The posting date (Creation Date) is September 1, 2016. There is no application deadline because the announcement is not open for competition; the "Original Closing Date" explicitly states that it is not a request for applications.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Public and State controlled institutions of higher education," which reflects the general eligibility category for this type of federal assistance listing. However, the body of the notice makes clear that the NPS is not seeking proposals from eligible institutions in general; it is announcing its intent to fund the University of Hawaii, West Oahu under the existing cooperative agreement and associated task agreement structure.
Overall, this opportunity is best understood as a formal public notice that NPS plans to direct approximately $61K in cooperative agreement funding to the University of Hawaii, West Oahu to carry out archeological documentation and inventory work for Honouliuli National Monument, using the CESU partnership framework and without opening the project up to competitive applications.
