Opportunity Summary:
The Assist SEAC Cultural Resources GIS Program opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOI 14 52760) is a National Park Service notice of intent to make a single, non-competitive award through the Gulf Coast Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU) framework. It is being issued under the CESU Master Cooperative Agreement (P12AC51051) and follows the Department of the Interior guidance in 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C, which allows for this type of directed, noncompetitive task agreement when the circumstances meet the policy requirements. The program sits in the Environment funding activity category and is tied to CFDA 15.945, which covers cooperative research and training programs and resources of the National Park System.
The project purpose is to support the Southeast Archeological Center (SEAC) Cultural Resources GIS Program by converting legacy archeological information into usable geographic information system (GIS) data. In practical terms, students will work through existing reports and archived documentation from previous archeological investigations, extract relevant location-based and descriptive information, and then translate those findings into GIS layers through digitization. The emphasis is on transforming older, often non-digital or non-spatially enabled records into structured GIS datasets that can be mapped, analyzed, and used to improve cultural resource management, research support, and planning across National Park Service responsibilities.
This announcement is not open for competition and is explicitly not a request for applications. The eligible applicant information indicates it is a single-source award to Florida State University, meaning the agency has already identified the recipient institution for the task agreement. As a result, the short posting window (posted August 22, 2014, with a closing date of August 23, 2014) reflects a formal public notice requirement rather than an application period for general applicants. The opportunity anticipated one award with an estimated total funding amount of $40,693, and it does not require cost sharing or matching. The award ceiling and floor are listed as $0 in the summary fields, which commonly indicates the system entry does not define a competitive range because the funding amount is determined through the task agreement rather than through a broad solicitation.
For anyone needing the full announcement but having trouble accessing it electronically, the notice provides a point of contact at the National Park Service: Rose McClelland, Contracting Specialist, reachable at (504) 589-3882 or rosemcclelland@nps.gov.
