Opportunity Summary:
The Catalog Archives for Petrified Forest National Park opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIR8100110346) is a National Park Service discretionary funding action that will be issued as a cooperative agreement under the Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The funding activity is categorized under Natural Resources, and it is tied to CFDA number 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to Resources of the National Park System. The stated purpose is to support work connected to cataloging archival materials for Petrified Forest National Park, with the mechanism being a task agreement award through the CESU framework.
This notice is not a typical open grant competition. It is explicitly described as a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive (single-source) award, issued in accordance with Department of the Interior policy at 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C. In practical terms, that means the National Park Service has already identified the intended recipient and is documenting the rationale and intent to proceed without soliciting proposals from the wider public. The announcement also makes clear that it is not a request for applications and therefore is not seeking submissions from other entities.
The anticipated award profile is straightforward: the agency expects to make one award, with an estimated total funding amount of $54,117. No cost sharing or matching is required. The listed award ceiling and floor are both shown as $0, which commonly indicates that fixed ceiling/floor constraints were not populated in the system for this announcement, rather than implying that the award has no value. The opportunity was posted and created on July 26, 2011, with an original and current closing date of July 31, 2011, and an archive date of August 30, 2011. Those dates reflect the administrative window for the notice rather than a period during which competing applications would be accepted.
Eligibility is also predetermined. While the eligible applicants field is broadly labeled "Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification)," the eligibility information section states unambiguously that this is a single-source award to the University of Arizona. As a result, organizations other than the named recipient would not be considered for this specific action, even though it appears in a grants listing format.
For access issues or questions about the full announcement materials, the listed point of contact is William Tallbull, Grant/Agreement Specialist, reachable at (303) 969-2891.
