Opportunity Summary:
The "Grand Teton Historic Preservation" opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number P13AC00702) is a National Park Service (NPS) notice of intent to award, not an open call for applications. In other words, it was published to inform the public that NPS planned to make a cooperative agreement award without full and open competition, rather than to invite proposals from multiple applicants. The announcement was posted and created on June 26, 2013, with an original and current closing date of July 3, 2013, and an archive date of August 2, 2013.
The planned award instrument is a cooperative agreement (task award) under a new master cooperative agreement, with an anticipated period of performance running from June 26, 2013 through June 26, 2018. While the notice lists one expected award, it does not provide a specific total dollar amount; fields such as estimated total funding, award ceiling, and award floor are shown as 0, and the abstract states the total anticipated award amount as N/A. No cost share or matching funds are required. The CFDA listing is 15.912 (National Historic Landmark), and the statutory authorities cited include 16 U.S.C. 1g, the Historic Sites Act (16 U.S.C. 461-467), and the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (16 U.S.C. 470 et seq., as referenced in the notice).
The intended recipient is the Alliance for Historic Wyoming, a nonprofit, tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization. The NPS point of contact listed is Tina Holland (Agreements Specialist), and the recipient-side leadership named in the abstract includes Sue Consolo Murphy as the principal investigator/program manager and Kathrine Wonson as the NPS ATR/program manager.
Programmatically, the cooperative agreement is framed around strengthening stewardship of cultural resources connected to Grand Teton National Park and, more broadly, Wyoming historic resources. NPS notes that it manages roughly 1,000 cultural resources and has limited internal capacity to complete all necessary research and planning work on its own, so the agreement is designed to bring in outside preservation expertise and coordination support. The project activities described emphasize documentation, evaluation, and public-facing sharing of preservation knowledge and outputs. Specifically, the agreement is intended to: (1) document and evaluate culturally significant resources in Wyoming; (2) share information, knowledge, and methodologies related to preservation; (3) share sources, facilities, information, and expertise to improve public understanding of cultural resources; (4) share technical information, educational materials, and research results with the public; and (5) publicize the roles and products of both NPS and the partner organization.
A major element of the announcement is the justification for making the award as a single-source (noncompetitive) assistance action under Department of the Interior policy (505 DM 2). The notice walks through the allowable exceptions to competition (unsolicited proposal, continuation, legislative intent, unique qualifications, emergencies) and explicitly selects the "unique qualifications" criterion (#4) as the basis for the noncompetitive approach. NPS argues that the Alliance for Historic Wyoming is uniquely positioned because it is the statewide nonprofit dedicated to preserving Wyoming historic resources, has specialized knowledge of the state’s historic properties and preservation landscape, and has access to statewide partners and networks that make it especially capable of completing the outlined tasks. The notice also highlights that the Alliance’s mission and tools (education, advocacy, technical assistance, awards, and partnerships) align with and complement NPS preservation responsibilities, and that the two entities have developed compatible expertise through preservation work.
In practical terms, the key takeaway is that this opportunity was never meant to be competed for by the broader public. It functioned as a transparency notice: NPS intended to directly fund the Alliance for Historic Wyoming through a cooperative agreement to support historic preservation-related research, documentation, coordination, and public communication activities tied to cultural resource stewardship in and around Grand Teton National Park and Wyoming.
