Opportunity Summary:

The Cooperative Agreement, NPS/MTFWP (Funding Opportunity Number H1264101049) is a discretionary National Park Service (NPS) funding opportunity set up as a single-source cooperative agreement with Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks (MTFWP). No open competition was pursued because MTFWP is the owner and manager of the specific properties involved, and the preservation work covered by the agreement concerns National Historic Landmarks located on Montana state parklands. In practical terms, the NPS described this as a situation where the federal government can only work directly with the state agency that controls and manages the landmark sites, so the agreement was intentionally limited to that one partner.

The purpose of the agreement is to support preservation-related activities tied to eight National Historic Landmarks that are owned and managed by MTFWP. Those sites are Travelers Rest National Historic Landmark (state park), Pictograph Cave National Historic Landmark (state park), Rosebud Battlefield National Historic Landmark (state park), Three Forks of the Missouri National Historic Landmark (managed as Missouri Headwaters State Park), Bannack National Historic Landmark (state park), Chief Plenty Coups Home National Historic Landmark (state park), Great Falls Portage National Historic Landmark (within Giant Springs State Park), and the Anaconda Smoke Stack (an interpretive site within the Butte-Anaconda National Historic Landmark district). The core idea is that the NPS is partnering with the state agency responsible for stewardship of these places to advance historic preservation outcomes, even though the properties are not necessarily on NPS-managed land.

The funding instrument is explicitly a cooperative agreement rather than a standard grant, which typically signals a more active partnership role for the federal agency during the project (for example, coordination, technical involvement, or shared responsibilities), although the notice does not list specific tasks beyond preservation activities associated with the landmarks. The activity category is listed as "Other," clarified as a single-source agreement for historic sites, including property not necessarily on NPS land. The CFDA number provided is 15.912, National Historic Landmark, linking the opportunity to the broader federal program area focused on nationally significant historic resources.

Financially, the opportunity was structured as a single expected award totaling $28,000, with the award ceiling and floor both set at $28,000, meaning the award amount was fixed rather than a range. There was no cost-sharing or matching requirement stated, so the recipient was not required by the announcement to provide matching funds. Eligibility was effectively limited to state and local government entities, with this particular award directed to Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks due to ownership and management of the landmark sites.

In terms of timing and status, the opportunity was posted on September 3, 2010, with an original and current closing date of September 4, 2010, and it was archived on October 4, 2010. The extremely short open period aligns with the single-source nature of the agreement, since the announcement was not designed to solicit multiple applicants. The listed agency is the National Park Service, and the contact for assistance accessing the full announcement was Tina Holland, Agreements Specialist, reachable by phone at 307-344-2082 or by email at tinaholland@nps.gov.
