Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Cultural Resource Surveys - Nebraska and Kansas" (Funding Opportunity Number R12SS60018) is a discretionary funding announcement from the Bureau of Reclamation, Great Plains Region, focused on cultural resources work. It was issued specifically as a Notice of Intent to award a sole source cooperative agreement, which means the agency indicated up front that it planned to make an award to a particular entity rather than run a fully competitive competition among multiple applicants. The activity category is listed under "Other," with the clarification that the work falls under "Cultural Resources," and the associated CFDA (Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance) program is 15.511, Cultural Resources Management.
The opportunity anticipated a single award (Expected Awards: 1) with an estimated total funding amount of $116,669. The award ceiling is also $116,669, indicating the agency did not expect to fund above that amount, while the award floor is listed as $1, which is a standard administrative entry rather than a practical minimum for this type of work. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not be required to contribute a non-federal match as a condition of the award. The funding instrument type is a cooperative agreement, which typically signals that the agency expects to have substantial involvement during the project period (for example, coordination on survey priorities, deliverables, reporting, review of findings, or alignment with compliance requirements), as opposed to a more hands-off grant.
Eligibility is described broadly. Eligible applicants include federal and state agencies, educational or scientific organizations, and other institutions, corporations, associations, or qualified individuals that can carry out the purposes of the relevant act authorizing cultural resource management activities. While the eligibility language is expansive, the fact that this is a sole source notice is important context: even though many types of entities could theoretically be eligible, the practical intent of the posting was to formalize an award to a specific organization or party that the Bureau of Reclamation had already identified.
In terms of timing, the opportunity was posted on September 13, 2012, with an original and current closing date of September 22, 2012. The archive date is September 23, 2012, which indicates the listing was closed and archived shortly after the deadline. Anyone who had trouble accessing the full announcement was directed to contact the Grants Officer, Lindsey Nafts, at (406) 247-7684.
