Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS), within the U.S. Department of the Interior, published a Notice of Intent to Award for a project titled "An Archaeological Overview and Assessment for the Prehistoric Period for Grand Canyon Parashant National Monument." This posting is specifically a public notice that NPS plans to fund a defined set of project activities without full and open competition. It is not a solicitation and it is not asking organizations to submit applications. In other words, the purpose of the announcement is transparency about an intended award rather than an opportunity for new applicants to compete.
The planned funding would be issued as a cooperative agreement under an existing partnership structure. The work is identified as Task Agreement # P14AC1540, issued under Cooperative Agreement P11AC8R001 with the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV). UNLV is participating as a partner through the Great Basin Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), which is a cooperative network used by federal agencies to collaborate with universities and other partners on research, technical assistance, and related projects. The funding instrument type is listed as a cooperative agreement, indicating that NPS expects to have substantial involvement in the project as it is carried out, which is typical for collaborative research and resource management work.
The opportunity is categorized under Environment and Natural Resources and is tied to CFDA number 15.945, described as Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System. The project focus, as stated in the title, is an archaeological overview and assessment concentrating on the prehistoric period within Grand Canyon Parashant National Monument. While the announcement does not provide a work plan or deliverable list in the text provided, the nature of an "overview and assessment" in an NPS context generally points to compiling and evaluating existing archaeological information, synthesizing prior research and site records, identifying knowledge gaps, and producing a document or set of materials that can support resource stewardship, planning, and future research priorities for the monument.
Financially, the posting lists an estimated total funding amount of $89,993 and anticipates a single award. No cost sharing or matching requirement is indicated. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0, which is a common quirk in notices that are not true competitive solicitations and may reflect that the specific negotiated amount is described elsewhere or that the posting is primarily informational rather than designed to capture a range of applicant budgets.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted on September 2, 2014 (with the same creation date) and archived on September 9, 2014. Both the original and current closing dates state "This is not a request for applications," reinforcing that there is no application window because the award is intended for the identified partner under the existing cooperative agreement framework. Eligible applicants are listed as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, consistent with the CESU model and the named partner, UNLV.
For access to the full announcement details, the notice points to Grants.gov under Funding Opportunity Number P14AS00274. The provided point of contact is Lilette Baltodano, Financial Agreements Officer, at 415-623-2251 and lilettebaltodano@nps.gov, for assistance in obtaining the full announcement electronically or addressing related questions about the notice.
