Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Collection Condition Survey and Maintenance of Textiles Stored at WACC" is a National Park Service (NPS) funding action intended to support work on textile collections housed at WACC. The effort is framed as a collections care project, focused on assessing the physical condition of stored textiles and carrying out maintenance activities needed to preserve them. The funding is associated with NPS natural resource and collections stewardship responsibilities, and it is structured to be implemented through a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant competition.
This opportunity is issued under the National Park Service Colorado Plateau Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU), meaning the award will be made as a task agreement within that established cooperative framework. CESUs are designed to facilitate applied research, technical assistance, and training partnerships between federal agencies and designated partner institutions. In this case, the announcement is explicitly labeled as a notice of intent for a noncompetitive (single-source) award, authorized under Department of the Interior policy referenced as 505 Departmental Manual 2.12C. In practical terms, that language signals that the government is not seeking proposals from multiple organizations; it has already identified the recipient and is documenting the rationale and administrative basis for awarding without competition.
The source data indicate that this is a discretionary funding action with a cooperative agreement as the funding instrument type. The activity category is Natural Resources, and the listing is tied to CFDA number 15.945, which covers Cooperative Research and Training Programs related to resources of the National Park System. Only one award is expected, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The estimated total funding amount is $56,820, and the posting timeline shows it was posted on June 12, 2012, with an original and current closing date of June 18, 2012, and an archive date of July 18, 2012. The award ceiling and floor are listed as $0, which commonly appears in notices that are not true open solicitations and therefore do not use typical competitive range fields.
Eligibility is effectively restricted because the announcement states it is not a request for applications. It specifies that the action is a single-source award to the University of Arizona. While the general eligible applicant category is listed as "Others" with a note to see additional eligibility details, the controlling statement is that the NPS intends to award directly to that institution rather than accept applications from the public. Anyone reviewing the notice should interpret it as informational and procedural rather than an opportunity to apply.
For access issues or administrative questions, the listed point of contact is Kelly Adams, Grants Management Specialist, reachable by phone at 303-969-2392. The notice also references an attached announcement for more detail, suggesting that the full scope of work, deliverables, and technical requirements for the textile condition survey and maintenance activities would be spelled out in that attachment rather than in the brief synopsis.
