Opportunity Summary:
The "Catalog Resource Management Archives" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIR8100110331) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action in the natural resources area, structured as a cooperative agreement. Rather than being an open competition, it is published as a notice of intent to make a single, noncompetitive task agreement award under the Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU). The announcement cites the Department of the Interior's authority for making a noncompetitive award (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C), which is typically used when an agency has an approved justification for selecting a specific partner without soliciting proposals from the broader public.
The core purpose, as indicated by the title, is to support work to catalog resource management archives. In practical terms, this kind of project usually involves organizing, describing, and making accessible archival materials that inform how park resources are managed. That can include inventories of documents, datasets, reports, maps, photographs, field notes, monitoring records, and other historical or technical materials that NPS staff rely on to understand resource conditions and past management decisions. Because the award is issued through a CESU mechanism, the work is generally intended to be collaborative, pairing NPS needs with academic or research capacity to produce usable products for park or regional resource programs.
This funding notice is not a request for applications and does not invite proposals from other entities. Eligibility is effectively limited to the intended recipient named in the notice: the University of Arizona. The posting indicates there will be one expected award, with an estimated total funding amount of $37,085. No cost sharing or matching is required. The award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0, which commonly appears in older postings when the agency is not using those fields to express a range, even though an estimated total funding figure is provided elsewhere.
Key dates show it 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. Because it is a single-source, noncompetitive action, the short open period functions more as a public notice window than as time for applicants to prepare submissions.
