Opportunity Summary:
The "Cataloging of Archival Collection" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number: NPS NOI MACA R5536100151) is a National Park Service (NPS) discretionary funding action under the Natural Resources activity category. It is structured as a cooperative agreement and is intended to support ongoing work to catalog and manage archival materials at Mammoth Cave National Park. The project is described as a continuation of an existing cooperative agreement (H5536060050), with the emphasis on both the cataloging process itself and the day-to-day management responsibilities associated with maintaining archival collections in an active park setting.
This notice is not a standard open competition. It is explicitly identified as a Notice of Intent (NOI) for a non-competitive award, issued in accordance with 505 DM 2.14 (B)2. The NPS indicates its intent to make the award to a specific partner, Western Kentucky University (WKU), rather than soliciting applications from a broader pool of applicants. While the eligibility field lists "Others" with a reference to additional eligibility information, the operative eligibility detail here is that this announcement is not a request for applications and is tied to a planned direct award to WKU.
The opportunity anticipates a single award, with an estimated total funding amount of $52,500. No cost sharing or matching is required. The published award ceiling and floor are both listed as $0, which typically signals that the funding amount is handled as a fixed or internally determined figure within the cooperative agreement framework rather than through a range-based competitive solicitation. The associated CFDA number is 15.916 (Outdoor Recreation - Acquisition, Development and Planning).
Key dates show the notice was posted and created on July 9, 2010, with an original and current closing date of July 15, 2010, and an archive date of August 14, 2010. Because this is a non-competitive NOI rather than an open call, the short window between posting and closing aligns with the administrative nature of the announcement, documenting the agency's intent and compliance steps rather than providing time for public application development.
