Opportunity Summary:

The National Park Service published a discretionary grant notice titled "Develop an administrative history study for the Vanishing Treasures Initiative" under Funding Opportunity Number NPSNOIIMVT110011. The purpose of the award is narrowly defined: to fund the development of an administrative history study documenting the Vanishing Treasures Initiative, which is a National Park Service effort focused on preserving and stabilizing architecturally significant and often highly fragile historic structures, frequently in the American Southwest. In practical terms, the project is intended to produce a formal historical record that explains how the initiative was created, how it has been managed, how decisions were made, and how the program evolved over time, rather than funding physical preservation work itself.

This announcement is specifically a notice of intent to award, meaning it is not a typical open competition. The NPS states its intent to make a single award to Cornerstones Community Partnerships, Inc. by issuing a task agreement under an existing cooperative agreement. Because it is tied to an established cooperative agreement relationship, the eligibility language points to a pre-identified recipient rather than inviting new applicants. The listing shows "Expected Awards: 1" and identifies the eligible applicant category broadly as "Others," but the narrative clarifies that the intended recipient is Cornerstones Community Partnerships, Inc.

The funding instrument is a cooperative agreement, which generally indicates that the federal agency expects to be substantially involved in the project as it is carried out. For an administrative history study, that involvement often includes coordination on research scope, access to agency records, review of outlines and drafts, and alignment with National Park Service standards for historical documentation and archival products. The opportunity is categorized under "Other" with an explicit explanation that the activity is a history study for the Vanishing Treasures Initiative, and it is associated with a placeholder CFDA number listed as 00.000 "Not Elsewhere Classified."

Financially, the opportunity lists an estimated total funding amount of $82,297. The award ceiling and floor are both shown as $0, which is commonly how some postings appear when the agency does not publish a formal range in the system fields, even though an estimated total is provided in the narrative data. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not be expected to provide a non-federal match as a condition of the award.

The timeline reflects how quickly notices of intent can move. The posting date and creation date are both May 3, 2011, with an original and current closing date of May 4, 2011, and an archive date of May 5, 2011. That short window reinforces that this is not structured as an open solicitation; it is essentially a public posting that the agency plans to proceed with a directed award action.

For questions or technical difficulty accessing the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Trish Fresquez Hernandez, Contract Specialist, at 505-988-6122, with the agency identified as the National Park Service.
