Opportunity Summary:
The Catalog Chaco Stratigraphy Project Collections opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIP15AC01657) is a National Park Service (NPS) notice of intent to make a single, noncompetitive cooperative agreement award under the Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). It is categorized as a discretionary funding action and falls under the Natural Resources activity area. Rather than functioning as an open grant competition, the announcement explicitly states it is not a request for applications; instead, it documents NPS intent to issue a task agreement to one identified partner.
The planned award is a single-source action to the University of New Mexico, which is listed as the only eligible applicant for this specific agreement. The NPS cites the Department of the Interior (DOI) policy basis for a noncompetitive award, referencing 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C as the authority supporting this approach. In practical terms, that means the NPS is formally notifying the public that it intends to fund a specific institution for a defined scope of work connected to cataloging collections associated with the Chaco stratigraphy project, and that other organizations are not being invited to submit proposals.
Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $27,654, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. The posting date and creation date are both August 26, 2015, with an original and current closing date of September 4, 2015, and an archive date of October 4, 2015. The announcement anticipates one award, and while the listing includes fields for award ceiling and floor, both are shown as $0, which is common in notices of intent where the primary purpose is public transparency rather than soliciting bids.
For administrative classification, the opportunity references CFDA 15.945 (Cooperative Research and Training Programs - Resources of the National Park System), aligning it with NPS cooperative research and training efforts. The funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement, indicating that the NPS likely expects substantial involvement in the project (such as coordination, technical direction, or collaboration) compared with a standard grant.
Anyone needing access to the full announcement is directed to contact the grants management specialist listed in the notice: Kelly Adams at 303-969-2303.
