Opportunity Summary:
The National Park Service (NPS) funding opportunity titled "Digital Documentation of Sivuovi, Petrified Forest National Park" (Funding Opportunity Number NPS NOIR8430110807) is a discretionary cooperative agreement in the Natural Resources activity category, tied to cultural resources management (CFDA 15.946). The purpose is to support digital documentation work at Sivuovi within Petrified Forest National Park, which typically means creating high-quality digital records of an important cultural or natural resource so it can be studied, managed, interpreted, and preserved over time. The announcement indicates this effort will be carried out through a task agreement issued under an existing National Park Service Master Cooperative Agreement (H1493080065), meaning the work is structured under a broader pre-established partnership framework rather than being set up as a brand-new standalone contract or open grant competition.
This notice is explicitly not a request for applications and is being issued as a notice of intent to make a noncompetitive, single-source award. The cited authority is Department of the Interior policy (505 Departmental Manual 2.12C), which provides for noncompetitive actions in specific circumstances, such as when only one organization is uniquely qualified or when an existing agreement mechanism is being used for a defined purpose. In this case, the only identified recipient is CyArk, and the eligibility section makes clear that the opportunity is restricted to that single organization rather than being open to the general public, universities, nonprofits broadly, or other potential applicants.
The NPS anticipated making one award with an estimated total funding amount of $50,810. There is no cost-sharing or matching requirement, so the recipient would not be expected to contribute a mandatory non-federal share as a condition of receiving the funds. The listing shows no stated award ceiling or floor (both are recorded as 0), which usually reflects how the opportunity was entered into the system rather than implying the award has no limits; the practical funding level is captured by the estimated total funding amount for this single planned award.
The posting date and creation date were both July 23, 2011, with an original and current closing date of July 27, 2011, and an archive date of August 26, 2011. Because it is not a competitive solicitation, the short window functions more as an administrative posting period than a true application deadline. For access issues or questions about the full announcement, the listed point of contact is Tom Forsyth, Contracting Officer, reachable by phone at 303-969-2796.
