Opportunity Summary:
The funding opportunity titled "Catalog Archival Collections and Provide Library Assistance" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIR8100120296) is a National Park Service discretionary grant action that will be awarded as a cooperative agreement under the Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). It sits within the Natural Resources funding activity category and is associated with CFDA 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to resources of the National Park System. The purpose, as reflected in the title and brief description, is to support work that involves cataloging archival collections and providing library assistance, which typically includes organizing, describing, and improving access to historical or administrative records and library materials that support park resource management, research, and public history needs.
This notice is not structured as an open competition. Instead, it is explicitly a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award, citing Department of the Interior policy at 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C as the basis for proceeding without competition. The announcement states that it is not a request for applications and clarifies that the intended recipient is the University of Arizona. As a result, other potential applicants are not being solicited to apply, even though the general eligibility field is listed as "Others" with direction to see additional eligibility details. The National Park Service expects to make one award under this action.
The estimated total funding amount listed for the project is $135,940. The opportunity indicates no cost sharing or matching requirement, meaning the recipient is not expected to provide a mandatory financial match as a condition of the award. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as $0, which is common in notices that are informational in nature or where the exact structuring of the cooperative agreement budget is handled in the attached materials or through the task agreement process rather than through a standard competitive NOFO format.
Key dates show the notice was posted and created on June 19, 2012, with an original and current closing date of June 25, 2012, and an archive date of July 25, 2012. In this context, the "closing date" functions more like an administrative timeline for the notice rather than a deadline for public submission, since the agency is not requesting applications. Anyone needing access to the full announcement or experiencing issues retrieving it electronically is directed to contact Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, at 303-969-2392.
