Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) published a notice of intent to make a single, noncompetitive cooperative agreement award for a project titled "Archaeological Research and Investigation at Vermont Monument Property, Cedar Creek and Belle Grove National Historical Park." The work is tied to cultural resources and archaeology at the Vermont Monument Property within Cedar Creek and Belle Grove National Historical Park, and it will be carried out through the NPS Chesapeake Watershed Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CW CESU) via a task agreement. In plain terms, this is not an open, competitive grant solicitation; it is an administrative notice that NPS plans to fund a specific partner for a specific scope of work under an established cooperative research framework.
The opportunity is listed as a discretionary funding action using a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument, which typically signals substantial involvement by the federal agency in the project (for example, coordination on research design, access to park resources, review of deliverables, and alignment with NPS management needs). The funding activity category is described as "Other," with the clarification that it falls under cultural resources, reinforcing that the core purpose is archaeological and heritage-focused investigation rather than construction or routine operations.
The estimated total funding for the action is $100,000. There is no stated cost-sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not expected to provide a required financial match as a condition of the award. The announcement anticipates a single award (ExpectedAwards: 1). Award ceiling and floor are both listed as 0, which is common in older postings where those fields were not used consistently; the meaningful figure for planning purposes is the estimated total funding amount.
Eligibility is explicitly limited because the announcement is not a request for applications. The NPS states that this is a single-source award to The College of William and Mary, and therefore other entities are not being invited to apply. The noncompetitive nature is justified under Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C), which is the internal authority the agency cites for making a sole-source or otherwise noncompetitive financial assistance award in appropriate circumstances. The listing is associated with CFDA number 15.945, "Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System," which is a federal assistance program category that supports research and training benefiting national park resources.
In terms of timing and public record details, the notice was posted and created on July 18, 2012, with an original and current closing date of July 25, 2012, and an archive date of August 24, 2012. Because it is a notice of intent rather than a competition, the closing date functions more as an administrative window for the posting rather than an application deadline for the broader public.
For anyone who could not access the full announcement materials electronically at the time, the NPS provided a point of contact: Rita Mihalik, Contract Specialist, reachable by phone at 301-432-7890 or by email at ritamihalik@nps.gov.
